Do any if you go to a restaurant where you must have all persons in your party there before they seat you?
Should one person be allowed to "hold" a table of 4 for 15 - 30 mimutes until their friends get there? Especially if there are other full parties waiting for a table?
These are not reservation tables. Just people walking in who want to hold a table.
For those sorts of restaurants - ones that do not take reservations or have some tables available for walkins - then no, one person should not be allowed to hold a table for a group for more than a few minutes. A few minutes being - you are being dropped off at the door while your other party member is parking - I have done that - but usually that is one or two people parking (like the boys being nice and dropping the girls off at the door) not like one person holding a table of 8.
And I'd imagine most restaurants would agree - as they make money over table turnover - thus this costs them money.
The above is null and void if the restaurant is super slow - in why not make the customer happy if it doesn't impact anyone else.
Stumble It!
