Some people wait here — others rave about a uniform (10)
I believe the answer is:
restaurant
'some people wait here' is the definition.
(waiters wait at a restaurant)
'others rave about a uniform' is the wordplay.
'others' becomes 'rest' (I've seen this before).
'rave' becomes 'rant' (synonyms).
'about' says to put letters next to each other.
'uniform' becomes 'U' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'a'+'u'='au'
'rant' after 'au' is 'aurant'.
'rest'+'aurant'='RESTAURANT'
(Other definitions for restaurant that I've seen before include "table here?" , "Eating place" , "Eatery" .)
