All my parents’ favorite restaurants seem to operate the same way, in that they all have waiting built into them. We have to wait for long periods of time, for us to be seated, for the menu to come by, for us to order, for the food to come, for the dishes to be taken away, for the bill to come, for the bill to come back. These moments say, You’re not leaving for a while. Sit for a moment. Get used to it.
