No, this seems to be a mostly north american problem.... i've never been rushed to GTFO in europe or asia, no matter high or low end

I'm in NA and I've never been asked to leave a restaurant in my life.

The closest has ever been being in a busy restaurant at peak time and seeing a line of people waiting to be seated and I'm well and done just chatting it up.

Still not asked to leave, but I noticed glances from staff and such so I left earlier than I would have, but on my own accord because I want to be helpful.

i didnt mean literally asked to leave, but i've had the check brought to the table without me asking, which is a pretty clear sign they want you out

Also being told at the start of the meal that there is a 90min limit until the next seating, or at the time of reservation that there is a time limit
