Dialogue Five  Paying the Bill
 

Waiter:Bill , please.
Guest: Separate bills or one for all?
Waiter: Separate bills, please.
Guest: All right. I’ll make out the bill right away.
Waiter: Could I have my bill, please?

Guest: Yes, sir. Here you are.

Waiter: Could you kindly explain this to me? What is item 6?

Guest: The first item is the cover charge. Number 2 is the beer. Then you starter, your main course and the vegetables. The main course was 5 not 4, so item 6 is the difference.

Waiter: What about the service, is that included?
Guest: Yes, that’s marked down here, 10 per cent service.

Waiter: Good. Thank you. Now, can you take my credit card?
Guest:I’m afraid we don’t accept credit cards.

Waiter: Oh, dear! What about a cheque with a banker’s card?

Guest: Yes, sir. That will be all right.
