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.
