Pizzeria Napoli — Restaurant in Weimar

I had a very unpleasant experience at this restaurant today. When I waved in a completely normal and polite manner to get the waiter’s attention for ordering, he approached me and lectured me in a serious tone, saying that this gesture is not acceptable in Germany because it supposedly resembles a historically controversial salute. I was honestly shocked — my hand gesture was absolutely innocent and common, not exaggerated or disrespectful in any way.

I replied calmly, saying, “I understand, but I think maybe you’re being a little too sensitive.” The waiter then became quite personal and said he’s old enough to be my father, and I shouldn’t speak to him using “du” (the informal “you”), but rather “Sie” (the formal form), because we’re not friends.
