When did "No Rush" change from a reminder to savor an experience to a plaintive call to vacate your seat by a petulant waiter? Am I the only one who has noticed this subtle shift in tone? I prefer that the waiter just wish that the door doesn't hit me on my way out.
Those that know me understand that I inhale food faster than a hoover hooked up to a new power source so dawdling in a seat is never my first instinct (unless, of course, I am orating). I have not been the recipient of this less than professional prodding but have observed it and been offended. At the rate of fare in these restaurants many a diner would be justified taking the chair never mind renting it for a while.
So the next time a waiter drops a "No Rush" sarcastically or a "Take your time" do just that. Oh, don't forget to ask for another refill of your coffee.
