And yeah, there's a lot of unemployment right now. It's the fall season when seasonal workers return to school or their winter homes. But if you had paid attention this summer, many restaurants and grocery stores had help wanted signs in the window in the middle of July.

Sorry, but I just feel like it's unfair to bash any local company if you don't have the facts to back your argument up.

Excuse me, I guess your world doesn't include room for someone else's honest opinion....................

You are incorrect. You didn't like Canoe or felt rushed? That's legitimate. You have a right to that. But putting any business (especially local) in a bad name because of incorrect facts is slander.

I'll be the first to defend your right to your opinion and I completely accept that our opinions might differ. It's when things just aren't true is when I tend to disagree.

So, after all this chatter about sitting post dinner for a few drinks and conversation, has anyone given a thought about the servers who would like a new group to increase their income via tips. Or do you tip by time and not dinner cost percentage?

I think most people are aware that, in the US, it is rude and inconsiderate to later diners, and perhaps waitstaff, to sit an excessive ( ah, there's the rub) period of time after the meal. But that is the way it goes sometimes in the restaurant business.

I believe the issue in this thread is whether the restaurant should set arbitrary time limits on your meal length.
