What is the best way to handle (stupid) servers,who insist on asking you if you need anything,when you have a mouthful of food ?

IS there any "polite" way, or should I make them wait until I have finished my bite of food ?

How would one handle this ?

    just shake your head. You're right, it's a lack of common sense and a failure of training to apprehend this silly behavior for the servers. I'm sure the management doesn't know they do it, but that doesn't make it not stupid or ok, that's true.

    If you don't need anything, just shake your head. If you need something, then nod your head and hold up a finger ( not the rude finger) to indicate you will be a minute. They will get what you are trying to say.

    I'm not sure that is stupid--it may be calculated! I also do the head nod-or thumbs up if everything is great----or the "wait one moment" finger and then swallow.
