Words you can keep
Receipt-aka server's "goods."
your server is taking your order right next to you and you are looking at "something else." If she catches you looking, you can just say you were looking at the receipt/order.

Example:
Her: Do i have something on me or what?
You: Oh-I was just looking at the receipt.

receipt hostage

When eating out: the purgatorial time between receiving the check and receiving your receipt. In this space, you are trapped, having already finished your food, but cannot leave the restaurant because the waiter inexplicably does not just take your card when he gave you the check. And when he does, takes 10 minutes to come back. Generally not seen outside the US, where waiters, more smartly, carry credit card machines with them.
