Waiter: Hello. Is it okay to take your order now?
Lady: Yes, I’m just about ready. Sorry it took me an age! Waiter: Absolutely no problem! What can I get for you? Lady: Well, I’ll just order for myself for now as my friend is running late. Can I just ask, do the starters have any shellfish in them today? Sorry but I’m really allergic! Waiter: Not at all! Let me take a look for you… Well, I do believe they are all cooked without any shellfish or fish - I’ll of course double check for you too! Lady: That would be perfect. I wouldn’t want to cause you any stress if I got ill! Ah, here’s my friend now! Man: So sorry to keep you waiting. My bus turned up late as usual. Lady: Well, I did tell you to book a grab taxi! Anyway, don’t worry about it - you’re here now. Man: It’s better to be late than never, right? Waiter: Please sit here, sir. Would you like a drink whilst you take a look at the menu? Man: Yes please, that would be great. Do you have a dry white wine available? Waiter: We certainly do. And for you? Lady: I’ll take the same, please. Waiter: No problem. Man: This place came highly recommended right? Lady: It did, my old boss messaged me and said it’s a must try. Apparently, the chef has previously won a Michelin star. Man: Wow, how very fancy! I hope the menu is reasonably priced though! Lady: Well, you're paying as you arrived late. Shall we order some snacks now? Man: Sounds good to me.
