On March 4th, in Zhoushan, southern China, as Ms. Ling's car approached two adjacent diners, where staffs greeted her with peculiar gestures, signaling her to park. With hands in pockets or behind their backs, they vigorously shook their heads, urging customers to dine at their respective diners.

One employee on the left repeatedly swung his head with hands in pockets, while another on the right placed his hands behind his back, twisting his body while gesturing for Ms. Ling to park at their diner.
In the end, she found the employee on the right more convincing and chose their diner.

On the morning of March 5th, a staff member from one of the diners explained that there were local regulations against using hands, hence the head-shaking method.

It's understood that to precent hand-signaling from affecting traffic, local authorities have taken strict measures against behaviors such as persistent hand signals or actions that disrupt the normal operation of transportation.

3月4日，浙江舟山，游客凌女士和同伴乘车前往朱家尖附近的大排档吃海鲜。正当她们的车靠近两家挨在一起的大排档时，两家店的店员分别用奇怪的动作招呼凌女士等人停车。他们双手插兜或把手放在背后，使劲甩头来示意顾客停车到自家的店门口就餐。其中，左前方的店员双手插兜，不停地用力甩头；右边的一位店员则双手放在后背，不仅甩着头，还扭动着身子，示意凌女士一行停到他们的店门口。
“看到他们这么卖力，我都整不会了。”凌女士说，看到眼前这一幕，觉得挺有意思，便用手机录了一段视频。最后，她觉得右边的店员扭得更好，于是选择了右边那一家。
3月5日上午，其中一家大排档工作人员称，有相关规定，不能用手，所以店员才用甩头的方式。
据了解，随着旅游旺季的到来，各类大排档生意日益火爆，安排人员招手揽客的现象也随之增多。这种行为既扰乱旅游市场正常秩序，还严重影响交通。针对这一旅游市场乱象，为进一步规范大排档营业秩序，营造良好区容区貌环境，舟山多部门联合开展了针对大排档规范营业的专项整治行动。对屡教不改或者招手揽客影响交通工具正常行驶等违法行为将进行严厉查处。
