Having lived in Greece for five years, for the first time in a taverna, we were forced to pay the bill and leave the place before we had even finished our meals. When we ordered a second bottle of ouzo, the lady working there told us that we had been sitting there since 16:00 (2 hours) and that she couldn't serve us anything new.
