Fill bags with ice - polite way to ask

Fill bags with ice - polite way to ask
 

I have knee pain that I manage with ice. Sometimes I ask waiters and waitresses in restaurants to fill my little plastic ziplock baggies with ice so I can place them on my knees. How would I ask this politely in the Yucatan? (In English, I would say, "Could you please fill these bags with ice?" I may also say, "It's for my knees, they are hurting.")

Thank you in advance for your help.

Please try to write your own translation in Spanish. Someone here will be happy to correct you. Your attempt will help you learn.

polite request to fill bags with ice
 

A user of this site just suggested to me that I can try to create this request in Spanish and someone here will correct me to perhaps improve the grammar. How about: ¿Podría por favor rellene estas bolsas con hielo para mis rodillas dolorosas?

Thanks for your help.

Not bad. You will be understood, but instead of rellene, use llenar. I think llenar is better in this case.

It would also sound more natural if you use por favor at the end of the sentence.

Good sentence, and I like Poli's suggestion too, although "por favor" may be in both places.
My Mexican twist would be like this:

- ¿Podría (por favor) llenar(me) estas bolsas con hielo (por favor)? Son para mi dolor de rodillas.
*The pronominal adds emphasis on the favour they'll be doing for you.

Or really Mexican:

-¿Me haría favor... etc.?
-¿Me podría hacer favor de... etc.?

Caribbeans may say something like:
Regálame hielo por favor. Es pa' mis rodillas que me duelen mucho.
Or shyly: me puede hacer el favor de regalarme más hielo pa llenar esas bolsas que me duelen mucho mis rodillas.

Ya que estamos, así se diría en sevillano: me pué hasé er favó de regalarme máh hielo pa llená esah borsah, que me duelen mucho lah rodillah. Grasiah, miarma.

Un saludo.

:D :) :rolleyes: ¡Grasiah!
