I have the same problem where I go. As I am being seated, I have asked them, politely, to leave me alone, saying that they’ll soon know if things are not ok! Mostly it works. But mostly it doesn’t! It really infuriates me, but you can’t take it out on the waiters who have been told to ask.

Why do you keep going there?

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 !
