If you want to minimize communication with the waiter when dining in a restaurant, you can try the following methods: 1. **Prepare in advance**: Before arriving at the restaurant, learn about the menu options through the restaurant website or menu app, so that you can make a decision quickly and reduce the time of asking questions. 2. **Communicate clearly**: When the waiter comes to the table, directly express your needs or order, and you can politely refuse unnecessary services. 3. **Use non-verbal communication**: You can respond to the waiter by smiling or nodding instead of verbal communication. 4. **Order with mobile phone apps**: Many modern restaurants provide mobile phone scanning code ordering services, and you can place orders directly through the application to reduce face-to-face communication. 5. **Inform the preferences in advance**: If you have clear dining habits or requirements, you can inform the waiter at the beginning, which can reduce the need for communication in the middle. 6. **Polite response**: If the waiter makes a normal service greeting, such as "Do you need a refill?" or "Enjoy your meal", you can simply smile or nod, and there is no need to respond in detail. It should be noted that the waiter's job is to ensure that your dining experience is pleasant, and basic courtesy and respect are necessary. Even if you reduce communication, please remain polite and friendly.
