I had the fortune (or misfortune?) of having dinner with a flamboyant boomer last year. I observed that he calls out to restaurant staff by clapping his hands twice.

Is that an acceptable practice?

I find it cringy... I just wait and wave at waiter . If not available , just wait until they appear.. I don’t like to be those demanding type

I've never seen people clap before.

Snap fingers, whistle, call out is normal or acceptable for MY culture.

snapping fingers the worst somehow for me

It's simple really.
Do you think it would be rude if someone use the same method to call you?

Raise hand and wave to attract attention la.
Moving objects get attention better than static ones.

Bestest I can remember someone else doing it:

Raise hand, then call "Mamak oiiiii, you tak mau duit kah, free makan kasi gua? Ok bye bye."

Waiters who are properly trained will respond by just eye contact, and also, in a formal setting waiters are constantly on the lookout for customers needing service. Unker used to bitch a lot about poorly trained waiters, but retarded uncivilised mareahsians are far more common. But a good waiter will get a good compliment from unker at the end of a meal (unfortunately unless its a special occasion being a cheapskate malingsian, baru ada tip la or a particularly attentive young waiter mebbe, old waiter meh why DAFUQ u still waiting after so long tongue.gif)

Every proper place ayam been so far - unker just establish direct eye contact with a waiter, they come serving - speak softly and respectfully they will serve you well (unless well again in Marehsia again lmao). This is the expectation and standard, no need to treat them like dogs/pets like 2" malingsia wannabes. Worse case raise a hand, but its not nice in a restaurant setting, so most trained waiters know u get a hand, u fcked up.

He should have started the song composition with the hook+chorus first - thats the only catchy part to be honest
