The first option only deals with the price of the chicken. Though the second option involves a bigger risk, it could bring about better benefits. Activity 4: Discussion If you were the manager, what would you do for the narrator and his friends? And Why? Activity 5: Read the Para.8 to 11 and think about what risk the manager took . ●What did manager offer at last? Only free wine instead of free chicken. ●What risk did the manager take? The manager took the risk that the customer might refuse the proposal, unwilling to pay the bill and make a scene by talking about food safety loudly, which might do harm to the restaurant’s reputation, a worse consequence than financial loss. ●What enabled the manager to take the risk that was financially and psychologically in her favour? On one hand, the narrator got free wines. On the other hand, the narrator had been friendly throughout the conversation and never raised any voice. So the manager assumed the narrator would not overreact and make a scene. Activity 6: Discussion ● What did I do at last? How did I feel? I paid the check and, along with a $5 tip and felt unsatisfied but accepted it ● If you were the narrator, how would you negotiate with the manager? We should keep it in mind that what a restaurant manager really cares is not one customer’s personal awful experience in the restaurant, but all the present and potential guests’ concerns and impression of the food quality in the restaurant. If I were the narrator, I would write a letter of complaint to the manager and would offer some constructive advice to the manager in the hope that he would take my complaint seriously and do something to improve the situation.
