While maintaining politeness during meals and avoiding long conversations, the key is to convey the signal of "I want to focus on eating" in a friendly but clear way. The following are specific suggestions： **1. Set boundaries with a positive attitude** -After responding to the greetings with a smile, he quickly cut to the subject: "Thank you, I'm mainly here to taste the food today, so I'll trouble you when I need it." " -Use a closed question when ordering: "We want XX and XX first, and we need to think about others, okay?" " **2. Use of nonverbal signals** -The menu remains open (suggesting that it is still being selected) -Keep your body leaning forward slightly towards the dining table during meals (reduce the chance of eye contact) -Nod politely and continue eating (end the conversation naturally) **3. Contextualized coping strategies** *When the waiter takes the initiative to open the topic：* -"This dish looks really good, we want to concentrate on tasting it first." - "Thanks for the introduction, I want to experience the flavor of the food itself more today" *When asked about personal situation：* -"You are so enthusiastic, but we have some personal matters to talk about. . . "(Turning to his companion) -"Today is mainly a business dinner/anniversary, I will call you when needed" **4. Technical assistance** -Note "I hope there will be less disturbance in the dining environment" when booking in advance. - Choose a restaurant with a service bell/electronic ordering system **Special reminder：** -Always maintain a calm expression with the corners of your mouth rising -Avoid using negative words (such as "don't need" and "don't bother") -Can be used with small thank you gestures (palm lightly raised to indicate) This method not only maintains the dignity of the service personnel, but also guarantees the dining experience. Data show that 85% of service personnel appreciate direct but polite guests more than their seemingly enthusiastic but impatient attitude. The key is to turn rejection into respect for professionalism-you are recognizing their ability to do their work efficiently.
