Do I pay you now or when I leave. Some places with fixed cost for a meal, such as the buffet, will ask you to pay as you get in the door. But most of them will wait till you are done with your meal.

I took the question to mean "do I pay you (the waiter/waitress) here at the table, or do I pay at the cashier's desk as I am leaving the restaurant?
