and acting like this.
Acting like sometimes you have do to do things you don't want to at work? Go back to whining about all the fancy beaches you've been to.

I don’t see how it’s a tough concept to understand that if you do something intentionally that you know will inconvenience another person (and yes working late is an inconvenience), you are an a-hole. I’m not even looking at this from the perspective of the server, the server knows that they will have to work late at times. I’m looking at it from the perspective of a customer who is being inconsiderate of the way that their behavior affects other people. If you don’t understand that, then I guess you’re just an a-hole

If the hours are until 10:00pm, then people can be seated until 10:00pm.
If they want to post that seating guests ends at 9:00pm, then do that.
It is not complicated, and the customers should not be expected to figure these things out.

it just shows a lack of understanding of social norms and what should and should not be acceptable.
Why should should people going to restaurants have to understand these ambiguous social norms, causing grief to poor restaurant staff, when this could all be cleared up by the actual restaurants really easily?
Does every restaurant follow these same social norms? What if they are regulars at other restaurants that happily let them stay behind the poster closing time becuase they tip well? Why is this ambiguity burden placed on millions of customers when restaurants can easily just let guests know exactly what they want them to adhere to?

I don’t think it’s ambiguous, but I’m also not autistic
And I’ve never worked in the restaurant business, so it’s not like this is some sort of inside info. It’s just common sense.

Again. Why the need for unwritten rules?

A society that would cause less grief for all parties if restaurants just made it clear what they wanted and didn’t want lol

Completely agree with this. That being said, the courtesy should be there that if you were in the employee's shoes you would want to get home as well. My personal cut off time is an hour before as I know they still have closing duties that are not completed

Why are we making the public the ones that need to figure these details out? What if the customer believes that everyone stays an hour after closing time no matter what to do stuff finished?

I workd at a grocery store in college. Some got to leave right at closing and some had to stay and do closing duties.
Why are we making it the customers responsibility to know all these details behind the scenes?

That doesn’t answer my question at all.
Why is it on the customer to know the staffing details of the restaurant behind the scenes?

Why does their need to shut the kitchen down early outweigh a late diner's need to eat at a restaurant that is open?

The guests should have this mindset but the staff should not? What makes the staff so special?

This isn't some hard line that people are expected to follow. It's like that meme about return the cart. You dont have to do it but you can if you want to think about the other people around you. My restaurant seats and serves until the time on the door. That is the bottom line in all lf this.

I would tell you the rule for unwritten rules but really you should know it and I don’t want to write it down
