Show of Hands

Some places they never do. However, it would feel weird speaking to them by name and honestly they'd be weirded out. That's my opinion. I don't say "yo waiter or waitress, but I get your point. I normally would just say excuse when they come by.

If they take the time to introduce themselves, then out of respect, I will use their name. It is a sign of someone who loves what they do.

If I remember it. Works better than flicking peas at them.

I hear them say their name, but I don't bother to remember it. If I need their attention I use hand signals.

That would be so awkward.

I use their name.

Pointer, middle, And thumb goes up in the air (like the European style of counting to three), and I make eye contact and raise my eyebrows.

I usually never address them by either, I might say sir, or miss, or ma'am, but that's about it.

I don't call out anything, so really neither, but I don't think I'd use their name in conversation with them either. I just try to get their attention with eye contact or a hopefully unobtrusive (to other diners) hand wave.

Never. I forget their name as soon as they say it.

Herr Ober, bitte.
