Since some feel I was completely out of line let me give a verbatem accounting of the actions:

Location: Grandma Hatties in Carson City, Nevada (note, she is dead...)

Hostess: Would a booth be okay?
Santa: A table would be better please
Hostess: Here you go (departs)
Mrs. Santa who is angry at me for getting flat tire earlier: I'll be back, get me ice tea and don't break anything
Santa: (sits quietly while hostess seats people at table behind him and others in booth)
Mrs Santa returns: Where is my ice tea?
Santa: No one has come by yet, just hold on a minute and they'll be here
Mrs. Santa: What? No one has come by for drinks?
Santa: Just hold on a bit, they'll be here soon
(waitress comes in and walks past table to see if other table behind us were ready for to order, took drink order then walks past our table to back)
Santa: Excuse me....(ignored or not heard)
Mrs Santa: They were not here, why did they get served but not us?
Santa: Maybe they heard you yelling at me earlier
Mrs. Santa: That is BS, they didn't ask for our drink order or anything?
Santa: No, don't worry about it.
(waitress walks past to drop of drinks, then circles back around to other side of room and slips into back)
Mrs. Santa: Why are they not asking what we want?
Santa: Listen, if it bothers you that much we'll leave.
Mrs. Santa: That's right we'll leave, I can't believe this
Santa: Lets just go, don't worry about it
(Hostess, who is grand daughter of Hattie, who is dead, see's us leaving and comes over to ask what is wrong)
Santa: Sorry, we have to head out
Mrs. Santa: No one asked what we wanted, we were completely ignored while the people who came in after us were served.
Hostess: I'm sorry, I'll speak to the servers
Santa: (to hostess) That's alright, thank you (to Mrs. Santa) Come on, that is enough
Mrs. Santa goes into rant once outside that last ten minutes and involves calling Santa names.

There, I realize I was a brutally rude person and I will accept my punishment. Ther server was completely in the right for not checking to see if we needed anything while daring to sit in her domain. We should have left a huge tip to make up for our rudeness and lack of server service.

Lastly if you get to Grandma Hatties they have killer biscuits and gravy.... and I'm looking for any good dead grandma jokes.

Nash, how do you know those guests weren't discussing the funeral arrangements for a loved one who just died? Or divorce proceedings? Or a multi-million dollar business deal? Maybe they just discovered their teenage daughter got pregnant, or attempted suicide, or is in jail on drug charges. Maybe they just came from court where the guy who raped the woman at that table was found not guilty. I know lots of magicians who have "Magic for all occasions" listed on all their promo materials, but let's face it, none of the above occasions really merits a magic performance, now does it?
