T: Excuse me.
M: Yes,sir.
T: I’m afraid that the fish I ordered taste terrible.
M: Oh. Really? What’s the matter?
T: It doesn’t taste fresh at all. Look! There is a fly. Such dirty food is bad for our health and it will also damage the reputation of your restaurant. I come here and eat regularly because I thought your food was fresh.
M: I am sorry, sir. You can order something else.
T: No, I’d like to have a full refund.
M: OK, sir. Anything else?
T: Yes, I’m unsatisfied with the eating environment. It’s too noisy. I wonder if you can stop them (people sitting next) making such noise. I told a waiter about it, but the waiter just ignored my request.
M: Yes, you are right I am terribly sorry.
