Can you not at least give someone 5 minutes?

I find that at takeaways when as soon as you walk in they look at you expecting your order straight away when there's a row of 6 different boards to consider

Restaurants I don't mind as its easier to say you need a couple more minutes and I prefer attentive waiting staff to those who leave you for ages. Worst thing is when they seat you with menus but don't take a drinks order early on and only come back to you a while later for the whole order, I want to enjoy a drink while I consider the menu damn it
