A Problem with a Restaurant Check
I waved my hand To get the waiter’s attention.
Waiter: Yes?
Leslie: The Check, please.
Waiter: Would you like any Dessert, or some tea or coffee?
Leslie: No, just the check. Thanks.
Waiter: Here you are. I’ll Ring that up for you when you’re ready.
Leslie: Thank you. Oh, there seems to be a Mistake on our bill. We didn’t order this Appetizer.
Waiter: Let me check this and I’ll be right back…Here you are. I’ve Adjusted the check. I Took off the appetizer.
Leslie: Thanks, but there still seems to be a problem. We had a Two-for-one coupon, but We’ve been charged for both meals.
Waiter: I’m sorry, but you needed to present the coupon to me when you Placed your order, not when you’ve finished your meal.
Leslie: That isn’t Stated on the coupon. I don’t want To be a pain, but could I see the manager, please?
Waiter: I’ll see if she’s available…I talked to the manager and she said To make an exception in this case and to give you the discount.
Leslie: Okay, thanks.
