    I don’t want my waiter to leave me alone. I want them to be attentive to my every need. A good waiter knows how to appear just when they’re needed.

      You’re living in a fantasy land. Nobody appears when they’re needed, you just happened to look up when they had a moment free.

      You act like a guy bringing you fish and chips is some genie in a bottle popping out when you need a top off on your Diet Coke. Give me a break lmao.

            I think you meant snob, and in all fairness I am snobby, but only when an expectation has been set. If I’m paying US $300 or more for a dinner for 2 then I’m going to expect that my waiter knows exactly when to come over and ask if I need another martini.

      I’m from Europe and I apprecaite a good waiter since majority of them really aren’t very good. I haven’t been to US but if its true that this “good service” means being interrupted for soda refills then that for sure does not mean good service.

        You’re never interrupted. A good waiter will keep an eye on your table and will notice things like how fast you drink your soda, for example, and if it’s 3/4 gone and you’re only halfway through your burger they’ll come to your table and ask if you’d like more. They don’t randomly appear and ask if you need another soda refill.
