WHY are they "patrons" NOT aloud to sit and enjoy there company? There paying for the "service"

I am inclined to agree with you here. It may be perceived as rude or inconsiderate by some, but I don't agree with that. When I was a restaurant manager, I couldn't stand when the servers would complain when people would "take too long" to enjoy their meal out. I used to just tell them to suck it up, you have to take the good with the bad.

A good server will milk a situation like that... "Can I get you more drinks? Or some coffee? How about dessert?" Chances are if folks are comfortable enough to stick around like that to chat on into the night, they'll also be back again. Repeat customers are best!
