Is It Rude To Stay Till Closing Time? Here’s What Restaurant Workers REALLY Think.
HuffPost
They may not always be allowed to ask you to leave, but that doesn't mean servers and bartenders want you there.
When it’s last call at a restaurant, you as a customer may think you have all the time in the world to hang out and order another round or one last bite to eat. But for restaurant workers, it can be a different story.
“What [last call] really means is, ‘Hurry up and leave, please,’” said Elyanna Calle, a server in Austin, Texas, who is also the president of union Restaurant Workers United.
Asking to dine in right before closing time can be rude, depending on when you show up and the kind of service you are expecting.
“I don’t show up to a place less than 15 to 20 minutes before close,” said Bill Whitlow, a Covington, Kentucky-based restaurant operator. “But I don’t get upset if a guest comes in five minutes before we close.”
Calle said that an hour before it closes, she will go to a diner where she knows food comes out in 15 minutes. But she stays mindful of closing time.
