After that it you want something flag down a passing "server" with hands full of dirty dishes.

The only thing "personal" I found was when some twit called me dear. I won't tolerate some unknown individual using Elder-speak - - - dear, honey, sweety. It's not only rude, it's offensive. Previous threads have questioned why there is an apparently large turnover in restaurants here in TV. Well, wake up managers and owners. If your staff is going to treat us disrespectfully you'll quickly lose the scent of our $$$.
In my opinion you are over reacting. I'm sure the "twit" meant nothing by it when calling you "dear". That is not disrespectful to most people, nor is it meant to be rude or offensive. I personally use the term "dear" and I'm surely not a "twit".
