The phone rings around 5:45 today.

I pick up.

Hello. I’d like to make a reservation for 4 on Saturday.

Okay. Let me take a look.

After about 15 seconds I reply, unfortunately the only thing I have for 4 on Saturday would be at 8:30.

We’ll that’s interesting.

Would you like to make the reservation?

You mean you don’t have anything else open? I don’t understand…

I’m sorry but we are full earlier in the evening.

What about at the bar.

I can do 2 people around 5:15 but nothing for 4.

I seriously don’t understand.

Yes. We are booked.
