But I ordered the potato soup.
Music.
Waiter: Welcome to the restaurant from Hotel Antrim.
I am Roland and will be your waiter for this evening.
Do you need a menu or do you already know what you would like?
Customer: I don't know yet, what I would like.
Waiter: Here is the menu.
Would you like to order something to drink in the meantime?
Customer: I would like a mineral water.
Waiter: With or without carbonation?
Customer: A still mineral water, please.
Waiter: Coming right up.
** a few minutes later **
Waiter: A still mineral water for you.
Have you decided what you would like to eat?
Customer: Maybe. What would you recommend?
Waiter: I can recommend the pork roast, but the beef roulade is also very popular.
Customer: Does the beef roulade have a lot of onions?
Waiter: There are a few pieces in there, but I don't think that it is too much.
Customer: I think, I'll take the pork roast.
Waiter: And the side dish?
Customer: Hmm. I didn't think about that. What do you offer?
Waiter: It is on this page of the menu.
Potato salad, coleslaw, red cabbage, sauerkraut, spätzle, boiled potatoes, or dumplings.
Customer: Spätzle and red cabbage, please.
Waiter: Good decision. Our spätzle is wonderful.
Would you like a salad or a soup? The soup of the day is potato soup.
Customer: A potato soup, please.
Waiter: Thank you.
** a few minutes later **
Waiter: Here is your salad. Enjoy.
Customer: But I ordered the potato soup.
Waiter: Oh. I'm so sorry.
The salad is for the man over there.
I will bring you your potato soup right away.
** a few minutes later **
Waiter: Potato soup for you. Enjoy.
Customer: Do you have a spoon?
There isn't any silverware on the table.
Waiter: Oh my. Here it is.
Customer: Thank you.
But there isn't a spoon in there.
I can't eat potato soup with a fork.
Waiter: Hmm. Let's see.
Aha. Here is a spoon.
Customer: But it is dirty.
Customer: I would rather have a new spoon, please.
** a few minutes later **
Waiter: A spoon for you.
Customer: It is already cold.
Waiter: I'm very sorry. I will warm it up again for you.
** a few minutes later **
Waiter: Roast beef with dumplings and sauerkraut.
Customer: I ordered the pork roast with red cabbage and spätzle.
Yes. That is the pork roast...
that is spätzle and...
I am color blind. Does that look red?
Customer: Actually, more purple, but that is red cabbage.
Waiter: Great. Enjoy.
Customer: I'm not eating that. You put your finger in my food.
Waiter: But how else was I supposed to know if it was pork roast or beef roast?
Customer: They don't look the same.
You could smell the food or simply ask in the kitchen,
before you bring the food to the customer without knowing what is really on the plate.
Waiter: But you don't have to be so mean. I will get a new plate for you.
Customer: Thank you.
** a few minutes later **
Waiter: PORK roast with spätzle and RED cabbage.
Customer: Thank you. May I also have some pepper?
Waiter: The pepper is already on the table.
Customer: The pepper shaker is on the table, but it is empty.
Waiter: I will fill it up and come back.
Customer: Thank you.
** a few minutes later **
Waiter: Your pepper, my lord.
** a few minutes later **
Waiter: And how does it taste?
Customer: Everything is very delicious.
Waiter: Would you like some dessert?
Customer: No, thank you. Just the check, please.
Waiter: Maybe a piece of Black Forest cherry torte, an apple strudel, or a bowl of ice cream?
Customer: The bill. That is all.
Waiter: Then that would be €38.50.
Customer: €40. Keep the change.
Waiter: Thank you. Have a great rest of your evening. Good-bye.
