If you're eating at a restaurant with family or friends, do you worry if others are waiting?

If the restaurant has a line of people waiting for a table do you care? Will you skip the after dinner coffee or chit chat to finish up fast?

I was out with friends, and the initial place we were going to eat had a long wait so we went to a different restaurant that had no wait. At the end of the meal my mom said she was glad our friends (a husband and wife) suggested going there, and our friend (the wife) said, “yeah, we like it here, the food is good, and we don’t need to rush to let someone else have the table.” That’s the first time I have heard someone say that outside of my own family. I guess it’s because our friend is from NYC also.
