Conversation 283 (Listen and Read)

Eugene, do you know how much longer it will be for the appetizers for Table 3?

It's looking like about 10 more minutes.

I'm trying my best, but it's a hectic night with just two cooks.

They've been waiting close to 45 minutes, and they're starting to get impatient.

I understand, and I'm really sorry.

We're moving as quickly as we can.

Maybe we should offer them a free dessert to smooth things over.

I'll check with the manager about it.

Good call. I'll keep pushing on my end, too.
