One of the great things about eating out is the table talk with strangers, which reminds us that everyone has a life and a name.But the other day I heard that some restaurants are ending this talk between diners and servers.I listened to the reporter describe how their improvements are allowing customers to text orders from their tables to speed up service.

　　The reporter got my attention with this sentence “Five minutes after typing ‘I'm at table 3’， a meal arrives at the table.” But there wasn't a “please” with this order, which should have been a request.If you've ever waited on tables, you know that the last thing you need is yet another way for a customer to be unpleasant.

　　Most servers are often mediating(调解)between customers' requests for substitutions and overworked cooks' accusations of treason(背叛)．Except at high­end restaurants, servers also have to walk back and forth like mothers of preschoolers so that we might consider them worthy of a large enough tip to lift their pay to minimum wage.

　　Texting a server from a table a few feet away is equal to moving our fingers and shouting, “Hey, you！” It was rude in 1957, and it's rude now.You won't ever find me texting a waiter or waitress.

　　文章大意：作者对一些顾客电子点菜发表了自己反对的观点。

　　24．What do we know from the text?

　　A．The waiter knows Jackie well.
