I’d like to speak to the manager!!!

Hi all.  

This is a public service announcement for all that dine out.  

Would you like to know one of the most annoying things many of you do as a guest at a restaurant?

You go to the restroom one at a time at the end of the meal.

If you are a four top you’ve just added 15 to 20 minutes to turn your table.  

I didn’t even realize this until Adam pointed it out 14.5 years ago.  

You are finished with your meal.

The coffee cups are empty. 

Desserts been cleared.

The check has been subdivided, you’ve presented four credit cards.  

You are done.  

The restroom fits at least two people at a time.  

You are just waiting for everyone to do their business before you head to wherever you are going next. 

Tonight a 5 top that had paid their check took almost 30 minutes to leave, as they one by one got up to pee.  

By the time they left, I was 20 minutes late for seating their replacements.  

So.

My suggestion:

A couple of you go while you are waiting on dessert.  

A couple of you go while you are waiting on the check to be dropped and processed.

And one of you should hold it till you get home, since you live 1.4 miles from the restaurant.  

This has been a public service announcement.

We will now return to regular programming, already in progress.
