Use Your Words, People!

I am walking to help another table when a diner holds up her glass of water, empty but with just ice. Instead of asking for a refill like a nice human, she just shakes it to get my attention. I help the other table, and on the way back, the customer shakes her glass at me again, even more vigorously.

Me: “Are you making music, or did you want something?”

She sheepishly asked for a refill while her fellow diners were quietly amused.
