Jew can be used as a insult for someone who is a bit of a tightwad... (and that's pretty much the only way i've heard it used.)In this context it's a little tough to figure out how the waitress meant it..
Jew as a description is a tough, because unless he's wearing a yamulke or dressed in Orthodox attire (dark hat, and dark clothes) it'd be pretty tough to determine someones nationality by looking at them.
Table numbers would be a lot easier than trying to go with someone else's description of what someone looked like... If you asked two people to describe the same person in 5 words or less, they owuld probably come up with different adjectives...
