If it's not something you like yourself, a simple "thank you but I'd like to be left alone" would do. You can hardly blame them - it's how they get a significant proportion of their wage.
I don't see why I should have to tell I waiter I wish to be left alone.If they were any good at their job they would know that anyway.
It isn't brain surgery but the fact that so may wait staff have difficulty performing even this simplest of tasks correctly shows how tipping people for bad service is plain stupid.
