Avoiding deep discussions at the table has less to do with the education of your server and more to do with occasion, etiquette, and personal preference. Here are some tips to help you avoid deep discussions: 1. **Keep the topic simple**: Choose light and common topics, such as the weather, food, or the day's schedule. These topics usually don't develop into deep discussions. 2. **Focus on the meal**: Focus on the food on the table and compliment the taste and presentation of the dishes. The food itself is enough to be an interesting topic of discussion. 3. **Prepare polite replies**: If someone tries to get into a deep topic, respond with a short, polite reply and slowly change the subject. 4. **Ask questions about the service**: Focus the conversation on questions related to the dining experience, such as recommendations or special events of the day. 5. **Use non-verbal cues**: Use non-verbal means such as eye contact or smiles to show that you are happy but don't want to expand the topic. 6. **Focus on other things**: If you interact more with the people at the table or the environment, you can also naturally distract from the possibility of deep conversation. With these methods, you can gracefully avoid getting into a too-deep discussion in an inappropriate situation.
