I went to a restaurant (alone) and the staff showed me to a table right in the middle of the room. My seat was facing the direction of where the waiting staff wait. I started reading. 95 minutes later, they brought me the menu. This is a record for me, at least.

I didn't want to embarrass the staff by making them think that I was upset about being ignored for an hour and a half, so I thought it better to just wait for them to realise or fate to intervene in some other way.
If this had happened in Britain, though, the staff would have been equally embarrassed about the situation, and a standoff would have continued until closing time, which would have been later than usual, if ever.
