Just been for lunch again at a local restaurant. It annoys me so much when the waiter comes and asks how everything is..' food okay?..need anything?'
'Everything's fine thank you' I mumble, mouth full - followed 5 mins later by another waiter, same thing. Always happens at the place. When you want the bill nobody's around. When they finally bring bill they ask for the third time if you enjoyed your meal. I know it's a first world problem! Hard to make a fuss of it. But it irritates me so much ! Leave me in peace to eat !

They seem to have it down to a fine art to ask you if everything is alright with your meal when your mouth is full - every time 😂.

They will soon know if I am not satisfied. So just stand back

Slightly off thread but why do sales staff pounce on you asking if you need help as soon as you walk in the shop? Not all shops.

In Singapore they are really hot on service.
DH worked there for a while and so I spent some time there .the shops were wonderful but the staff just wouldn't leave me alone
I'm fact if I saw a salesgirl approaching , id walk out
