When someone goes to the trouble of cooking for you, the least you could do is taste it (even if it is a mere formality for you) before salting/peppering.

Manners are important.

And as a former waiter, I can say without doubt that anyone who snaps thier fingers at a waiter is an asshole and doesn't deserve a second date.
