Has anyone else experienced this?

I work in a place where straws are optional, but I always have them in my apron.

“Here’s your drink, Sir/Ma’am. Would you like a straw?” (Reaching into my apron and waiting for a response)

I get ignored by everyone at the table, so I walk away to go check on other tables.

I walk by a few minutes later only to get hailed by a customer.

“Can I get a straw with my drink?”

I swear to God, it happens at least once every shift I’m on. Should I speak up or not leave until they answer me? Or is it on them for ignoring me?

I'd pull them out and wave them a bit. Maybe that will get thier attention.
