Have you ever felt confused by the actions of someone from another culture? If so, tell me about it.

Hello Sir [이름]!

Good evening!

How are you today?

Did you have enough rest this weekend? I hope you did.

The sentence wherein you mentioned that when a waitress drops by your table often to ask you something, that also annoys me.

It is really disturbing. Hope that you will have a great week.

Take care! See you soon!

However, it seems that she feels it is her duty to check whether my meal is okay.

I often feel that her asking is insincere and only to get the tip.
