| A: | Excuse me, waiter? Waiter! |
| |
| B: | Yes, sir? What can I do for you? |
| |
| A: | I've been sitting here for the past twenty minutes and no one has offered me a glass of water, brought any bread to the table and our appetizers haven't been served yet! You know, in this kind of establishment, I'd expect much better service. |
| |
| B: | I am sorry, sir. I'll check on your order right away. |
| |
| C: | Relax honey, the place is busy tonight, but I've heard the food is amazing. Anyway... |
| |
| B: | Here you are, sir. The foie gras for the lady, and a mushroom soup for you. |
| |
| A: | Waiter, I ordered a cream of mushroom soup with asparagus. This soup is obviously too runny, and it's over-seasoned. It's completely inedible! |
| |
| B: | Okay, I do apologize for that. Can I bring you another soup, or would you like to order something else? |
| |
| A: | Take this foie gras back as well, it's rubbery and completely overcooked. And look at the portion size! How can you charge twenty-five dollars for a sliver of duck liver? |
| |
| B: | Right away... sir. |
| |
| C: | Honey come on! The foie gras was fine, why are you making such a big deal? Are you trying to get our meal comped again? |
| |
| A: | What do you mean? We are paying for this. If I'm shelling out my hard earned bucks, I expect value for money! |
| |
| B: | Here you are, sir. I hope it is alright now. The chef has prepared it specially for you. |
| |
| A: | Yes, fine. |
| |
| C: | Honey, are you alright? |
