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.
