That’s in theory correct, but in a busy poker room the waitress has maybe 30-60 seconds to serve everyone at the table their drink before moving on. There’s no extended waiting or coming back, that’s just not practical.
What’s often happening among regs when one of them is involved in a hand, is that one of the other regs takes care of the waitress and gets reimbursed by the other player later or next time.
One of the casinos I frequently play at is in a jurisdiction that doesn’t allow for free alcohol on the casino floor. One time a player asked the dealer what would happen if his drink arrives while he was all-in and the dealer told him that he can pay from his stack or out of pocket. I am not 100% sure if the dealer understood the question correctly or if his response was just wrong, but he basically told the player he could pay from his stack
after being all-in.
