Why is "Kellner" unacceptable ?

3/9/2013, 10:14:18 AM

My question too.

It is accepted now.

Kellner is acceptable. Ive used it

What happened to "Herr Ober"

"Ober!" or "Herr Ober!" are correct in German

same as "Kellner!"

I think these answers must be added, nobody in Germany says Diener!

I don't think "Herr Ober" is used anymore in Germany.

Right. I'd say none of these are used anymore. They all sound kind of rude. Most people just say "Entschuldigung" with a rising inflection.

Yes. Waiters normally don't like it when you call them 'Bedienung' (Or "Kellner" or "Herr Ober"). I'd also vote for 'Entschuldigung'.

If you're watching a movie from the 50s you might indeed hear it...

Or if you'd studied German from an Assimil course.
