I cannot imagine why you would think that an American restaurant staff would fail to notice or care about the manners of those dining in their establishment. Unless its a fast food place where most customers take their food elsewhere, not only are the staff going to notice, but so will the other patrons. And while the staff may be polite, those at the neighboring tables will not hide their astonished looks or restrain from whispering comments across their own table.
Undeadpopart, follow the advice given and if those around you find it odd, be secure in knowing that you are following traditional etiquette associated with the cuisine and those who find it odd are ignorant.
