This bat-shaped fidget spinner have been imported from China.   They spin in your hand, as you would expect from a fidget spinner.  These ones get bonus points for style due to a certain resemblance of a bat themed super hero.

Manager: “Our place, our rules. Failure to pay the total bill will result in a call from the police, and we have your card details on file from previous visits; we remember you as you’re always the ones who keep us an hour past closing.”

After a few months of this, my manager has had enough and approaches them, speaking bluntly while he removes the bill that’s been sitting there for almost half an hour.

We’re not sure about all the claims of fidget spinners helping with ADHD or any kind of medical condition.  They can be quite mesmerizing to spin, and could possibly be used as a passive focus enhancing tool, in the same way that they say the propeller on a hat can help you to think faster 😉

Manager: “I’m just giving you your updated bill. Please settle it within the next few minutes and enjoy the rest of your day!”

We have a regular set of customers who are frequent “campers” — customers who stay seated long after they’ve paid their bill. To counter this, we put a sign up saying we’d appreciate it if customers left within fifteen minutes of settling the bill (which for a busy restaurant is VERY generous), but then, these regulars countered again by being super slow to settle the bill, even if they’ve stated they’re done ordering and the bill is sitting on their table, untouched.

Imported fidget spinners from China.  They have an uncanny resemblance to something that might be used by a particular bat-themed comic book character.

The customers grumbled but paid the new bill. They left no tip, but the “camping fee” made up for that! And we never saw them again!

Also, they’ve started doing this AFTER we have closed, forcing us to stay late just to take their payment. At this point, we’re sure they’re doing it as some sort of power move.

Manager: “Yes, you haven’t ordered anything since finishing your meal half an hour ago. I am glad we are in agreement. Please settle the bill and be on your way.”

Manager: “Yes, but we also have a camping fee, and you’re being charged a dollar for every minute you stay past closing. Please, continue to sip that coffee slooooowly; our staff appreciates the extra tips.”
