Server: Are you ready to order? Customers: We are. Customer: Excuse me. I have a question. Server: Yes Customer: I’m in the mood for lamp, but the sauce looks too fatty. Can I order the lamb without a sauce? Server: Sure. Customer: What does it come with? Server: French fries Customer: I don’t like fried food. Could I have grilled vegetables instead? Server: I think we have grilled papers Customer: Perfect! Server: Would you like to start with an appetizer? Customer: Is there oil on the tomato salad? Server: There’s a lot of olive oil, yes. Customer: Could I get it without the oil? Server: Hm - hm, but it won’t taste very good. Customer: Then I’ll just have a mixed green salad. Server: And you? Customer: I’m sorry, I have another question. Is there salt on the lamb? Server: It’s cooked with salt and pepper, yes. Customer: I don’t want a lot of salt. I think I will have the fish instead. What’s in the sauce? Server: Lemon, butter, milk. Customer: Oh, that’s too much dairy. Maybe I’ll have a large salad for my entree and no appetizer. What’s in the salad? Server: Lettuce, carrots, peppers, onions, egg. Customer: Oh no egg, please. Server: Salad no egg. Anything to drink? Customer: Just water please. Server: And for you. Customers: I’ll have the special, the special, the special. Server: Great! Customer: Can I ask you another question? Customers: No!
