Crazy people or things seen at restaurants

As with everything else we discuss on the forum, all that is necessary is a little common sense and courtesy.

If I am at the VK for Sunday breakfast and there are people lined up out the door, I finish my meal and leave in a reasonable period of time. I should state I never feel rushed by the staff at VK, so it is a good example of how a busy restaurant is supposed to work.

On the other hand, if I am at Lemon Grass or the Woodshed, I eat and drink at a leisurely pace and may linger a "reasonable" time after dinner over coffee.

No matter where I eat or what I spend, I expect to be treated courteously and I respond likewise.

Just because you pay the big bucks for a meal, you are not entitled to be abusive or sit for HOURS after your meal in pleasant conversation if there are clearly folks waiting for the table.

Just my opinion.
