[W] Will you please arrange
for an elegant lunch during the
regional manager's visit?
[M] That's such an annoying
burden. Why don't you just go to a
restaurant?
[W] I need to show our impressive sales data during lunch and
can't show slides at a restaurant.
[W] Here's a list of 12 restaurants in the area.
[M] Let's narrow this list to two or three and then ask the
staff to make a final selection.
[W] First, let's
double-check that they all offer free delivery
to this building.
[M] I'm so annoyed. I've
sent multiple E-mail notices to
staff asking for their votes for lunch choices.
[W] I think you are trying
too hard to pamper people's individual
tastes and preferences. Just make a decision.
[M] Why does this job
always fall to me?
[M] Do caterers usually
charge a fee for picking up the dirty dishes after an event?
[W] It's common to charge
extra for that, but I know of one caterer who will pick up for free.
[M] That settles it. As far as I am concerned, we
can use the cheaper caterer.
