  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Because a waiter sat at the table?

I sometimes feel like all the negative experiences people post about rude waiters in e.g. Paris is down to this, just a cultural difference in what we expect.

I feel uncomfortable every time a waiter comes by my table and I am not about to order or ask for the check.

Absolutely. I found dining out in America to be really draining. It takes far too long to do anything, and you're constantly being attended to. That's because I'm used to paying up front for the meal, then having the food discretely served, and then leaving immediately once done. I'm sure Americans would find the local service where i live to be extremely poor.

FYI it's not a common occurrence and I think I've only seen it when there were kids at the table
