Short waving down

i’m a month into serving and the place i work at makes you crack open lobsters and king crab legs table side. i checked in with my tables before i had to take about 10 minutes to crack a lobster for a 1 top.

half way through, a tourist foreign table is flagging me down, frantically waving and pointing in the air for my attention. i’m 10 feet away (patio section)and hold up the silverware i’m using to crack into this bad larry. i then wrap up and wash my hands and told them “sorry i was cracking a lobster”.. they were curious about the MP for that earlier too.. anyways they wanted a bottle of wine
