   My sister’s boyfriend did that to a waiter once. Fortunately the guy was easy going about it, but every time they go back to that restaurant, the waiter will snap his fingers at him in jest (I think).

   When I waited tables, some guy pulled that. I did a Flamenco dance over to the table snapping my fingers like castanets.

   Cant’ judge it without knowing how long he was waiting. With some waiters you do whatever you must to get their attention or you’ll sit there until closing time.

   Smart. Your food comes with extra spit and underarm hair. Little “Murine” eye drops…instant diarrhea. Works every time. Be careful how you treat your server.

   I wonder, what do you do when your waiter seems to look in all directions, except yours?

   With unemployment the way it is, why is good help so hard to find?

   I was at a diner a little further north once, and an elderly tourist had a bell he kept ringing to get the waitress’ attention. Fortunately the girl’s grandfather, the sheriff, came in for dinner as well. When the guy rang the bell a few times more, the sheriff told Jim he would put him in handcuffs if he did it again. The idiot said it was his right to get the waitress’ attention however he chose, and rang the bell in the sheriff’s face. The guy ended up in handcuffs in the back of the police car charged with disturbing the peace and had to sit there while the sheriff finished his dinner. Gotta love small town Maine.

   Those type of people shouldn’t take a job SERVING the public it they’re that touchy. I’d rather a finger snap that a shout. It’s the connotation that they don’t like; one can apologize and say, “I’m sorry, I just had to get your attention.”

   I think I’d call a few biker friends of mine to take a little visit in that town.

    What is wrong with getting your butt off your chair and walking over to management and asking for service if it has been too long?

    Snapping your fingers at anyone is plain rude.

    As long as your walking, just walk out the door and go somewhere else.
