When dining in a restaurant, regardless of the background of the waiters, respect and courtesy are the most basic social norms. The following are some suggestions that can reduce unnecessary communication while maintaining respect： --- ### 1. **Clear needs and concise communication** -**When ordering**: Browse the menu in advance, clearly state the name of the dish (such as “Please give me a set A, a glass of lemonade”), and avoid open-ended questions (such as “What are your recommendations?"). ”). -**When adding demand**: Use short and direct sentences, such as “Please add another glass of water” or “Please check out”, to avoid small talk. --- ### 2. **Make good use of nonverbal signals** -**Eyes and smile**: Nod or smile in response to the waiter's inquiry (such as “How is the taste of the food?") ”), no need to say too much. -**Gestures**: Raise your hand to indicate that you need service, and just say “Thank you" softly when you are done. --- ### 3. **Choose self-service or technology tools** -**Scan code to order**: Give priority to restaurants that support mobile phone scan code to order and checkout to reduce manual interaction. -**Self-service area**: Take your own tableware, spices, etc. to reduce the frequency of contact with waiters. --- ### 4. **Politely refuse to extend the topic** -If the waiter takes the initiative to talk, you can politely respond“ "Thank you, I want to focus on the meal first” or “I don't need other help for the time being.” -Keep your tone peaceful and avoid showing impatience. --- ### 5. **Respect is a prerequisite** - Even if you want to reduce communication, please avoid contempt or indifference. A simple “thank you” or smile can reflect basic upbringing. -Remember: the waiter's duty is to ensure the dining experience, not to disturb it deliberately. --- ### Key principles： Reduce communication and arrogant attitude. Efficient and clear communication can not only save time for both parties, but also make each other more comfortable. If you are sensitive to social pressure, it is also a good way to choose a time when there are fewer people to eat or a more private seat.
