Here you are, sir. Enjoy your meal.
This is disgusting! I said medium-rare! Are you blind?
Then we split it. I handle the data analysis remotely. You handle the client revisions. We meet on Zoom Sunday night. Together.
Deal. And Mark? Next time, a little more notice would be great.
I ordered the steak medium-rare. This is well-done. Would it be possible to have another one?
(Long pause. Exhales) Fine. Sunday, 7 p.m. Don’t be late.
(Rushed, slightly pressured) Hey, Sofia. Got a sec?
You are a customer at a busy restaurant. You ordered a steak medium-rare. It arrives well-done (overcooked). You want a new one. You must be firm but polite. First, listen to the example.
Of course. I’m so sorry.
(Looking up from screen) Sure, Mark. What’s up?
James? (Laughs dryly) He’d mess it up.
