I dont mind a bit of chat...in fact if they dont say anything I normally instigate it by asking them if they have been busy and what time do they finish...

Off topic slightly but we have a problem like this with the Waiters at our favourite Indian Restaurant....we are sociable people and we do chat but when we go for a meal they keep coming over and chatting whilst we are trying to eat and its really putting us off going there...which is a real shame...But what do you say to them without causing offense???
