to order or not to order

Me and TescoGirl went to have dinner at a small coffee shop which serves western food and its quite popular at that area too.

So we sat down and knew what we wanted to order cause we've been there a couple of times but no one came to take our orders. So we waved and waved trying to catch the attention of the waiters/waitresses. Then finally we caught hold of a waiter who took our orders and we were happy.

Then a minute later, one of the waiters came to us to ask us if we have ordered and we politely told him yes we have. After another minute another waiter came along and asked us if we have ordered! This went on for about 3 - 4 other waiters.

Where were they when we really wanted to order in the first place :p

Me and TescoGirl starred at each other - why does this always happen when you've already ordered!

So the trick is to act like you've already ordered when you haven't and a waiter/waitress will pop-up shortly to take your orders. hahaha
