Not to be argumentative but I tend to think it is not especially terrible to try to give patrons the hint to leave when it is close to closing. From the working person's point of view they are only waiting for you and they can get around to the closing process, which takes some time. Most often they have been working for a long time and the extra 15 minutes would mean they actually get to close on time and go home to family or out with girlfriend/boyfriend. Waiters/waitresses have lives too, and I feel a little compassion never hurts.....If it were me I would be overly sensitive, finish up and leave, and wish them a nice evening. Might make somebodies "good memories of work" conversations. Think I am crazy? Fine. But then I believe in small acts of kindness daily, and it brightens my day to go out of my way to be helpful.

Thank you Sue, Angela, and MaryEllen for being the best trainers. My goal is to break 140 again. It would be the first time in 22 years.
