How annoying waiters are. I don't need small talk and I don't need you asking if everything's okay every five minutes. Just let me eat in peace!

The exact opposite experience if you're non white. I'm light skinned and get normal service. I go out with certain friends and suddenly we're getting ignored and waiting longer than people that came in way after us. We just end up ordering pickup or avoiding certain places all together.

they do it hoping you get larger tips for being attentive, because it's not enough that you're paying the restaurant; you need to subsidize the wages of their workers.

Attentive is looking up from time to time for people who are waving, not interrupting.
