i'm not sure if i'd call it rude but personally, i do find it a little inconsiderate.
if they can still cook for you even though you walk in close to closing time, can you realistically finish your meal within that same time? people usually need some time to eat and it's not like we can just rush through our food and leave immediately.
so then, what time are the staff actually supposed to finish? if they have to stay back and work overtime just to serve someone who walked in late, i don't think that's really fair to them.
sometimes, even if the restaurant still accepts you, it doesn't mean it's necessarily considerate to walk in at the very last minute 😅.
