     @ekaitz_zarraga actually I used "me das un cappuccino, por favor." Which still sounds super direct and rude to me, in English I would never say "give me .." to a waiter. But hey it worked 🤷🏼♀️

     @Gina More than "me das" I would say "me pones" which is like put but *to me*.
     Das is more like give (for free or something) but yeah, people will do some effort to understand you... You know, we are not English (😘 ).

     Also if they see you looking guiri they will be more understanding. :)
