this is everyone's experience since 2020. and if you go to coffee shop they make the chairs as uncomfortable as possible on purpose so you don't linger. everything is made to get you in, charge you, and get you to leave asap. successful restaurants have the process optimized: attractive hostess to get you in, talkative waitress to talk you into a tip, bill arrives before you even finish eating, as soon as you finish eating the sweaty busboy comes by to get you to leave, and if you don't leave then the waitress comes by and give you the "anything else i can get you" to get you to leave.
