This is a transcript of the restaurant dialogue in Exercise 87.1

MANAGER: Tina, could you assist these customers please?
SERVER: Sure, but afterwards I will be taking my lunch break.
MANAGER: No problem. Have the tables already been set with the proper utensils?
SERVER: Before I leave I will make sure. There are some customers who have been waiting for that table.
MANAGER: Excellent! You are a great server. Here, let me get that booster seat for you.
