Waiting Too Long

Fifteen minutes and still nothing — asking politely, showing the receipt.

等太久了 · 8 turns · you say 4 lines

  1. Them

    Order for Chris!

  2. You

    Excuse me, I've been waiting about fifteen minutes.

  3. Them

    Sorry about that. What was your name and order?

  4. You

    It's a medium mocha, under Sam.

  5. Them

    Let me look — I don't see a ticket for it. Did you pay at the register?

  6. You

    Yes, I did. I still have the receipt right here.

  7. Them

    I'm sorry, it must have been missed. I'll make it now, and it's on us.

  8. You

    Thanks. Could you make it to go? I'm running late.
