In the US, we try to kind of move it along when we talk with service staff. As a former server myself, it is a pain in the ass to wait for customers who don't know what they want at a restaurant or a bar. For the love of Christ, just pick something already. Here, you can chill with your waiter and they will patiently wait while you go back and forth and they will answer questions to help you determine which options are low FODMAP, no gluten and anti-inflammatory. This is expected behavior and nobody minds and they will chat you up as much as you like and warmly welcome you if you return. It feels strange for us but we are getting used to it and oddly genuine because there is no tipping here which we are also getting used to.
