You aren’t rushed to leave your table at a restaurant because the staff is working on tips and trying to turn as many tables as possible. You can sit there for an hour after your meal for all they care.

Gas/petrol stations, fill up at the pump before you even go inside to pay.

There's a restaurant my friend and I love to go to, we can be there for and the restaurant don't care.

Staff actually love sitting with us an having a good old chat. And often the chef will give us a new dessert that she's working on the give our opinion on. Place is just so chill and lovely.
