How you flag someone down says a lot. 请问 is the neutral opener for a stranger and is almost always the right choice. 服务员 is how you call a waiter - shouting it across a restaurant is normal and not rude. 小姐 is the trap: once a standard address for a young woman, it now carries a suggestive edge in much of the mainland, and 美女 or nothing at all is safer.
