Table Vultures

People trying to find a table to sit at in a crowded coffee shop. They will often circle the coffee shop repeatedly while looking for a place to sit and will hover buzzard-like near the table of someone who looks like they might be about to leave.
In Seattle’s popular coffee shops it’s common for customers (often with laptop computers), to sit at their tables for hours making it hard for other people to find a free table to sit at.

"The other day I was writing at Cafe Solstice in the U District. It was full and the second I started packing up I could see a couple table vultures hovering, just waiting for me to leave."

cash table

Where you play poker with live money in the form of chips at a casino. There are certain tables for certain games, such as No Limit Texas Hold 'em, Limit Hold 'em, Omaha, and Seven Card Stud. Each of these tables also has a particular stake, ranging from $1/$2 into the thousands with its own minimum buy-in (No Limit and Pot Limit tables also a maximum buy-in).

Not to be confused with tournament tables, one can sit at and exit a cash table at their leisure, bringing and taking their chips with them, and may switch tables as much as they like.

At cash tables it is also customary to tip the dealer with a chip or two when you win a substantial pot, as a symbol of "thanking" the dealer for the cards. While the dealer has nothing to do with the cards other than dealing them out in random orders, their income from tips is notable enough to justify doing it both from a symbolic perspective and a friendly, sportmanlike persective. Plus, you'll seem stingy to them and the other players if you don't.
"Stefan took his winnings from his first cash table and tried to move up to higher stakes. Unfortunately, he ended up going broke within the first few minutes there."
