"Please could you help me over here?" Depends on the tone of voice in which it is delivered. Polite tone and with no irony behind it, it's perfectly polite.
"Some help would be nice!" There is almost no way to delier this line without come across as sarcastic. Delivered apologetically, with a smile, and no indication of impatience, it might be perceived as a plea for assistance without an overtone of impatience or sarcasm, but I think most help staff are going to find it rude.
"Hey, I need some help!" Same as previous. You either come across as distressed or rude, depending on the tone.

These answers are all required at some places. #1 should be used first; if no response #2 can be used but watch your tone!; still no service #3 is okay. If still no response, leave. But before you go, tell the manager about your issues with the service/lack of service you received.
ps. #2 is rather rude and sarcastic
#3 is also rude, but may be appropriate
#1 is very polite, and should be used first

is that this an opinion question? i might say D, by fact time fluctuates way too lots for somebody to define it like that. i've got on no account been one to maintain song of time, and it style of feels to be at random whilst i glance on the clock and comprehend that the two 5 minutes have handed, or 5 hours have handed! the two classes of time can experience the comparable to me, so there is not any telling how lots time has handed if i've got not got a clock interior reach. additionally, being a forgetful individual often seems to velocity up the time earlier a ultimate date. Or, once you're waiting for something, time seems to inch by very slowly. sometimes, although, you would be wanting your reliable days, the place each and every thing is going nicely, and you smile. it quite is situations like those the place you experience you quite have a carry on existence, and time strikes by merely superb. yet, that on no account happens to me. :P -Kara
