This annoys me
It's been fairly common at chain restaurants for a long time, but it seems to be creeping into better places over the past few years. The wait staff walks up to your table and asks whether everything is OK or if you need anything and it doesn't make any difference to them if you are talking or chewing a mouthful of food, they just blurt it out.
What are you supposed to do? It's impolite and just plain gross to talk with your mouth full, but I feel like an idiot sitting there chewing while some waitress stares at me and waits. If someone is talking they talk right over them. It seems they could take 5 seconds to stand by the table and wait to be acknowledge their presence before they interrupt. Who trains them to do this?
