OP here.
To answer Lowspark’s question, this isn’t a restaurant that
closes between lunch and dinner hours. It is open from 11am to
10pm so there was no need to hurry people out.
I’m glad I made the remark but I wouldn’t have taken it any
further. She got the customary tip. It’s not the kind of thing I
would complain about it to management, unless it happened over
and over again (in which case I’d probably stop going there
anyway).
I enjoyed reading everyone’s responses and seeing what other
people would have done.

What are the hours on the restaurant?
I looked at my favorite local Mexican restaurant and the hours
are 11:30-3pm, 4:30 - 10pm.
So if you came in at 2:55 and the waitresses shift ends at 3:00,
she is going to want to take care of her part asap.

There still might be an "end of shift" situation going on.

I truly can't imagine being bothered by that. In light of
everything that's happening nowadays, it doesn't seem like that
big a deal. Certainly not "Take me to your manager" worthy.

Of course there could. But it's not on the customer to fix or
accomodate. Another waitress would/should take over.

As a former server even if you are closing, you don't just drop
the check off right after your table gets the food.
Yes, it is unfortunate if a table comes right before your shift
ends, but it's the nature of the job. I have had people come in
5 minutes before closing, but you smile and treat them like any
other customer.

Many years ago, my husband regularly worked at a client about 3
hours away. I was a SAHM, so my toddler and I would come with
him, and explore the area. It was a small town with limited
dining options, but there was a little diner with en extensive
dessert menu. The waitress would always bring our check with our
meal, then act put out when she had to rerun the bill after we
ordered dessert. We had to resort to telling them, “we will
probably order dessert when we’re done, so please don’t bring us
the check!”
I hate feeling rushed or pressured, and there were times we
skipped dessert just because we didn’t feel like bothering the
waitress any more. It wouldn’t rise to a “speak to the manager”
level, but it did leave me less than impressed, and likely to go
elsewhere in the future.
