So, like a crowded restaurant with a line outside, the best interest
from a business point of view is a quick turnover to clear the table
for the next customer (or why did you _think_ the waiter always
shows up with the next course before you've gotten half-way through
the one before?). Especially if every table is prepaid, so no tip
is expected.
