Sit down restaurants are operated by many personnel. The staff is varied, being composed by managers, chefs, all the way down to the bus-boys and hosts. The people that run the show as far as your time inside the restaurant are the waiting staff. The waiters/waitresses always greet you with a smile and hospitality as they place your orders, bring your food to the table, and take time to constantly see if your drink needs refilling or to see if there is anything else that they can do to satisfy you. The best waiters are the ones that makes themselves comfortable to talk to and depend upon. It's like a relationship as soon as you sit down at the table, and it's the waiters job to make themselves feel reliable to depend upon.  

I consider myself fairly polite at the table as a customer. Small things like saying "Thank You" when the waiter refills my drink, and not being afraid to exchange small talk help attribute with the relationship that we develop over the time of the meal. There is one thing, however, that I fill kills the relationship almost instantly. It's the awkwardness of when I actually do need anything from the waiter, and the waiter is no where in sight. 
 
 Let's admit it. Ketchup sucks ass in comparison to Ranch. This situation forces many different options that suddenly turns your pleasant evening and catapults down a dark alley of tragic incidents. The first option is to wait. Sometimes, it will work out for the better and your original waiter will come back within a very short amount of time, and everything can continue down it's smooth path. Unfortunately, you could be desperately needing the small cup of ranch dressing for your french fries immediately, and waiting on the waiter could cause your fries to become cold.  
 
When the time for waiting runs out, you have to make a drastic decision, which is to ask one of his/her co-employees for the cup of ranch dressing. Yes, this does solve the temporary problem, but it could damage the relationship between yourself and the original waiter. Just imagine yourself as the waiter, treating all of your customers with as much care as you possibly can, and you come back to find that one of your customers are being served by a different waiter. Imagine the betrayal you must feel. I would never want to cause this feeling to any person. 
 
 Visual Guide to what I'm talking about. Notice how sleek and non-interfering the call button is with the top of the airplane. Which is why I propose "The Waiter Button". The button will work in the same fashion as a Flight Attendant's call button on an airplane. Flight Attendants have it easy compared to waiters, no one expects much out of them, and they happen to have all of their customers sitting in a line that they walk down. This allows them to have zero confliction with anyone and allowing them to serve everyone as best as they possibly can. "The Waiter Button" allows for the same service, giving people like me a chance to continue strengthening my relationship with my server for the duration of the meal.
