Good one telos!

My opinion has always been that the restaurant closes at a certain time. Meaning that I can be in there up until the minute they close. If they want to try to run us out at 9:45, then close at 9:45. I know they may have friends and family to get to, but sorry tough luck, this is their job. I know they have to work later then when the restaurant closes, but that's just part of having a job at restaurant. Any cleaning up that greatly disturbs customers should done after closing. Now if people are there after closing, by all means run them out.

Speaking of waiters being overly attentive, when I was little we used to go to Golden Corral a lot. There was this one waitress who would always refill my glass even when I told her not to (I guess she thought little kid I don't have to listen too). The things was I'd only usually drank about an inch worth of the tea when she refilled. One time I said no and put my hand on top the glass. She then proceeded to pour through the little crack between my fingers. My parents always thought it was funny because that drove me so nuts!

Oh, also, when we went into the italian place it was a little before 9. They just took forever getting us our food.

My family always eats late. If we are eating dinner at home it's usually around 9 or 10. Guess it has something to do with us being night owls. (Guess it may also have something to do with the fact when I was little my family would go shopping all day with only stops for snacks. We'd only go to really eat after all the main stores had closed. Couldn't miss a minute of shopping!).
