This is something I hadn't considered. Do people actually do that? I mean, go into a restaurant, order a $1.85 cup of tea, and take up a booth for half an hour? That seems like a very inconsiderate thing to do to me. It hadn't occurred to me that they might have thought I was camping. I don't think I was projecting a "leave me alone" attitude.
I did stiff the waitress who never came to serve me. If what you suggest is what happened, then what I did in effect was take up a booth for half an hour, keeping them from using it, and then stiff a waitress who thought she was doing what I wanted.
Damn. It's a good thing I'll never be in that restaurant again. A customer who orders practically nothing, camps, and then stiffs the waitress is probably what they like the least. Or it must at least be near the top.
