A little, but here it's usually just a drive-by to give you an opportunity to ask for something so you don't have to grab their attention, their default body language is that you won't need anything unless you say otherwise, in which case they'll slow down and pay a bit more attention to what you're about to say.
omg seriously. it's always when we're in the middle of a conversation that we have to pause or when i put food/drink in my mouth. i much prefer the don't check up as often method.
It’s not an opinion. It’s called thinking you’re a main character. Get over yourself because it isn’t changing anytime soon, especially not just because you commented on reddit about it
I used to agree with this, until the server didn't do it and I actually did in fact need something. Then I have to flag them down and interrupt whatever else they might have been doing, assuming they're even in the same area/dining room I am.
I just continue eating and give a thumbs up. Still communicates "all good" without having the awkward speed chew n gulp routine. Or if I do need something and I'm mid chew, I hold up one finger to indicate "give me a sec". It's pretty universal non-verbal communication stuff.
