It will always feel rude to me how in the USA the waiters leave the check at tge table a couple of minutes after they bring your food. What if I want something else later?

It feels as if he/she "finished" with your table and you are SOL if you want anything else.

I've never had that happen and ive lived in the US my whole life. Must be a regional thing. I've never gotten a check before asking for it.

Huh. I wish this was the norm in my area, so I didn't have to wait around for the check once I finish eating.
