We had to wait twenty minutes for a glass of mineral water. M: I see. Well I'm sorry to hear that. The trouble is that we're a bit sort of hands at present. Two waitresses are ill.

It wasn't a very enjoyable meal at all. M: This is most regrettable. W: Look at this bill. We've been overcharged. We only had one dessert, not two. Can you check the bill again, please? M: I do apologize, Madam. W: I'm afraid I'm not going to pay the service charge, or give a tip, as I don't feel satisfied with it. I'm quite disappointed as a matter of fact.
