I think regardless of whatever method you use, it's rude if you don't look at the waiter or at the direction of waiter when calling for attention.

In some countries, you can only use eye contact because even raising your hand is considered rude and uncivilised.

Clapping hand is like treating them as your own personal butler, I dunno, I see this in TV shows haha

Sometime need to do this. Waiter/waitress not attentive, dun care to serve guests cos no mandatory tips so still get celery and shared 10% service charge.

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?

Raising your hand or calling them when they walk pass you would do greatly.

A danger to eat with such people. You never know what extra ingredients are being serve to you. Pizza sprinkle with dandruffs in replacement of cheese and drinks mixed with nose mucus to enhance flavour....I'll leave it to your imagination.
