I’m not British so waiting is not my specialty. This factoid is from the JustSell.com daily newsletter:
According to the National Restaurant Association, the average consumer is willing
to wait 23 minutes for a table for dinner. That number rises slightly to 31 minutes if it’s
a weekend.
If you replace minutes with seconds, you will know my threshold for waiting at a restaurant. My wife, who will wait 45 minutes to get into a good restaurant, has initiated a behavior modification plan to correct this weakness in me.
