“In case we finish eating before you.” We went out to lunch with a group of folks, including one elderly relative who did exactly that. Finished eating, wiped his mouth, and said “I’ll wait for you in the car.” Hubby had to go get him and bring him back to the table, where he drummed his fingers, shifted around, and generally drove us nuts while he was “being patient”.
They’re probably the reason that a couple of all you can eat buffet restaurant chains have gone out of business in recent years. They pay for one meal and eat the equivalent of a dozen of them.
Joy is right, her and Burl will definitely finish first, including seconds on everything from salad to dessert…. and walk out before the bill arrives… and they will be waiting in the car for their ride home!

Are they BBQing lunch? Or going out to dinner after dinner? Knowing them, that may be the case.

Good thinking. You don’t want to be seated when the check arrives.
