Asking for service from the guy whose job it is to provide it isn't rude.

So screaming at a mcdonalds employee to hurry up is okay?
Depends where you draw the line but you make a generalization in the ''asking''. Raising your hand is pretty disrespectful especially in an unrewarding job like that; at least I couldn't take it.

Going from raising your hand to screaming at someone is a pretty strange leap to make. :lol

It is just how it is. You get paid like 3$ an hour to serve people, some assholes, some not.. Most people aren't disrespectful and make the job pleasant but then there are people who act like Day9 and make it extremely unpleasant.

It's disrespectful to expect people to do their fucking job? I don't understand that at all.
If I'm in a restaurant and I need something then I will get the attention of the waiter. Especially if I'm the only person in there.

That sounds really strange to me, but hey, I guess every country has its quirks.
I've long stopped wondering about what's going on with you guys over the pond. :p

It's all about context; if you sit in your chair and snap your fingers expecting service; then yeah you're being inappropriate.. Many times i'm in a restaurant and they are busy so i catch a waiters eye, raise my hand with a polite smile on my face.. In all honesty, they usually smile back and come right over.. If you're nice about it there is not an issue at all; it is their job at the end of the day and particularly in the US they working for tips so service should be their top priority..

I'm a Mcdonalds employee ^_^ Never got screaming, some profanity though. But that's a country mile from simply getting the attention of the person serving you, which is essentially what you're doing if you're raising your hand to a waiter. How else are they meant to know you want something? If a customer at my workplace tried to get my attention, I'd have to be pretty shit at my job to get offended and think them rude.

You are the type of person who gets employee of the week, every week. You are definitely in the minority of people who take their fast food/waiter job seriously.

As a former waiter and a lifetime restaurant goer i can say that no sensible waiter would ever see it as disrespectful to wave or raise your hand to get there attention. snapping or other things of that nature are disrespectful in all aspects of life. I dunno who was saying its disrespectful to do that in the US but its not and will never be.

So you would say pointing your finger is disrespectful? He pointed at the waiter as well as raising hand/looking through glass(wtf?). Atleast thats what he said in the story

$3? Isn't the minimum wage $7 or something? Unless the rest is made up in tips, in which case be polite to the people it's your job to serve, especially if they're just trying to get your attention.

Wow cmon you people I explicitly said that it was a hypothetical to prove that his statement was an over generalization I continued to say "depends where you draw the line" which means that it varies. He should have said something 'like raising your hand isn't rude' which is specific. I would still say that it is though because the workers know what they have to do and there are other things they have to do. Raising your hand doesn't accomplish anything and waiters are people who hold at least some self worth.

Whaaaaaaaat? Everyone at a restaurant is happy to help customers have a more enjoyable meal (well maybe not REALLY happy to help, but it's their job to be that way, and it's better for everyone if they actually are). Waiters would check tables more often but they don't want to be intrusive and annoying. As long as you aren't significantly disrupting other customers' experiences, a waiter wants you to get their attention. It's not like you go hunt down your waiter as soon as you want something, and you certainly don't interrupt them when they are interacting with other tables... but you just catch their eye when they are walking around. And it's better for them anyway, since the sooner they know everything they need to do, the better they can optimize how they're gonna serve all their tables.
I've been at restaurants that weren't very crowded and so my waiters weren't very busy, and when they had nothing to do they generally just watched their tables from afar. If I wanted something, I might look for eye contact or just put up my hand a bit (not really high waving it around) and they'd come. ezpz
At nice restaurants you've constantly got people un-intrusively topping off your water, clearing away empty plates, cleaning up crumbs, delivering drinks, appetizers, etc. Even tho most of those people aren't your waiter, you can ask them for something and they'll do it or they'll tell your waiter. That way they aren't annoying. You ignore them when you don't need anything, unlike the actual waiter who is always getting the attention of the table. It's a pretty nice solution to the dilemma between constant service and a private dining experience.

So first you got taught not to point at the age of 5, and then you got taught not to point at the age of 2. And it went from "raising your hand to get attention" to "screaming at a mcdonalds employee".
Why do I get the impression you're making this up as you go along?
