The Food Is Taking Too Long
It has been a while — asking how much longer.
- Them
Is everything all right over here?
- You
We ordered about forty minutes ago.
- Them
I'm sorry about that. Let me check the kitchen.
- You
Could you tell us how much longer it will be?
- Them
They say about five more minutes for your table.
- You
All right. We have to leave by eight.
- Them
Understood. I'll ask them to hurry it along.
- You
Thank you, that would really help.
