What silence? Prison labor happens all the time here in the states. I don't think the US has the space to point the finger at any other nations, because its happened here since the beginning of time.

I'd also add, people driving cars with a 5.7 liter engine does not help either when the some cars have a 1.5 engine. It's hundreds of different types of cars on the interstate outpacing each other, which in turn can lead to road rage.

Exactly, just go to the bar and say "no one's come by our table yet, can you take our order?"

Not to dismiss this, but I worked in the industry for 6 years as a server in my teens and early 20s. I have forgotten to greet tables, and even after taking an order and greeting a table I forgot to send their order after 45 minutes. I was terrible, and while this could be a potential, I don't think suggesting shutting down the restaurant because of an isolated incident solves the problem here. Talk to a manager first, and allow the restaurant to resolve the problem for you. This is how it usually works.
