I don't feel entitled to, nor should I expect different treatment, because the game I chose to play charges time v. rake.
We're taking about grabbing a quick bite here. Not a protracted dining experience.
I acquiesce. I accept the ruling.
This +1
I go over to the bar all the time to grab a drink, food, smoke, or just clear my head.
Personally I don't want to eat in front of 9 strangers. I'm there to play poker. If I must do something else, I leave the table. I don't think its right to involve 9 others to partake in satisfying my needs. Eating at the table is the same to me as peeing in a bottle. Just get up and go do your thing.
