I'm pretty sure that's just social anxiety and not being an introvert.
Could be because someone is introverted as well, and just can’t be bothered to deal and talk to the waiter to sort the issue out.
Yeah, there's definitely a hassle vs reward calculus that quickly gets figured. Usually the hassle side of the equation is a little too high unless its something that can be quickly and easily fixed. Like if they forgot something it's very easy to just go "oh, and can I please get ..." which usually immediately reminds them and they go grab it.
Or if the food got royally fucked then engagement can become worth it, even over something harder to fix. Like, if my steak is well done and I ordered med rare, I kinda want either a new steak or a comped meal.
Yeah I suppose there is a line between ignoring the mistake and having to tell the waiter what the issue is, I mean especially with meat.
