When eating at a restaurant...isit rude to make the sipping sound with a straw to get the waiter's attention

Answer 1

That is hilarious, I should try that one. It is rude but funny. So the benifets outweigh all

Answer 2

Yes! How is the waiter supposed to know that your loud sipping is a call for his attention? For all he knows, you're just being obnoxious and annoying the other customers. Instead, try raising your hand (like in class!) or saying, "Excuse me!" But not too loud.

Answer 3

Yes. It is rude not only to the waiter but to those around you who are trying to enjoy their dining out experience. There are better ways to get your waiter's attention.

Answer 4

Yes! Not only to the waiter but to everyone around you!! Simply get the waiters eye contact- he'll get the point that you need something.

Answer 5

yes its very rude. wait until the waiter comes near u and say excuse me 2 get his attention

Answer 6

I've found that it's better to tear small pieces off your napkin, form them into a ball, and then shoot them through the straw at the waiters head.
It's quieter and sure to get their attention.

-Or you can just say "Excuse me, waiter", but the spitwads are much more fun.

Answer 7

When you have an inattentive waiter, simply ask for another waiter. Noise making is for a two year od.

Answer 8

YES. Behaving that rudely to a waiter could result in his seeking revenge. He might, for example, spit in your next drink.

Answer 9

yes, i could see why you might do it if the waiter is taking forever to bring you a refill and you are trying to get their ttention by showing your drink is empty. but i would try and wave or flag him down before doing that. it looks childish to make sounds.

Answer 10

yes i think so. I either wave them down or just sit my glass at the edge of the table for a refil.
