Although I do hate it when aspects of Germany become more like America, I do wish that sit down nice restaurants had wait staff that checked on us a little more frequently with the expectation that maybe we want to leave!
- ThePadawan 5y agoI've had an OK experience with just demanding the bill when your table's last plates are being taken away.
- ubercore 5y agoAs an American sitting in Germany right now, I think that wait staff here aren't bothered if you try to actively get their attention like they might be in the USA. Making eye contact or a polite wave, etc. Feels rude based on US service, but I see people doing that more often here.
- RalfWausE 5y agoThe best thing in most restaurants is - as soon as the waiter is something near you - just say "I would like to pay the bill", or in german "Ich würde gerne zahlen".
- herbst 5y agoThe not 'checking on you' is the whole point we prefer about our 'system'. Just call them if you need something and otherwise they let you enjoy your time without permanent nagging or time pressure
- brummm 5y agoI actually find this super irritating in American restaurants. Just let us enjoy our meal in peace...
- vmception 5y agoYeah there is a happy medium that alot of wait staff gets wrong here in the states
