Dialogue B
Manager:You asked to see me, Mr.Smith?
Customer:Yes,I did.I'm very upset at the way I have been treated.
Manager:Perhaps you could tell me what exactly is the matter.
Customer:It's my steak.
Manager:What is wrong with your steak,sir?
Customer:It is too raw.I can't eat it.But when I complained to your waitress she just ignored me.
Manager:I'm very sorry,sir.I'm sure the waitress didn't mean to be rude.You see,she just started out as a waitress a week ago and doesn't under stand English very well.She should have changed your steak.
Customer:Except she didn't.
Manager:It's been a misunderstanding, sir.I'll have the steak returned to the kitchen right away.
Customer:That's more like it.Well,there is something else.This wine here,I think it is corked.
Manager:Are you sure,sir?The Chianti has been very popular with our guests.
Customer:Well,here you are.Try it for yourself.
Manager:No,sir.It doesn't taste wrong at all.Perhaps it is a little too sour for your taste.I would recommend that you try the Bergundy next time.
Customer:Right.Perhaps I will.
Manager:Is that it,sir?
Customer:Yes.
Manager:Well,I hope you enjoy your dinner.
Customer:I'll try.
