"Very hard to pay on Sunday! Couldn 't catch anyone 's eye so walked over to the till and stood there while staff hovered around restaurant clearing up etc. A waitress started clearing the table by the till, putting glasses beside it, getting a cloth to wipe it, etc. I asked if we could pay our bill. She said Wait till I 've done this table. And we did. Eventually she finished and it took us 1 minute to pay. This was at 3.15 in the afternoon, there were any number of empty tables so not the slightest need to prioritise clearing more tables. I can see this is quite self-sacrificing by floor staff who throw away tips by this, but it would be more conventional and I suggest better to prioritise customers."
