Dialogue: At the cafeteria
Cafeteria Staff: Good afternoon! Welcome to the campus cafeteria. What can I get for you today?
Cafeteria Patron: Hi there! I’m feeling quite hungry. Could you please tell me what’s on the menu today?
Cafeteria Staff: Of course! We have a variety of delicious options available for you. For today’s specials, we’re offering a chicken Caesar wrap served with a side of crispy potato wedges. Additionally, we have freshly made salads, hearty sandwiches, and a selection of soups.
Cafeteria Patron: Hmm, the chicken Caesar wrap sounds tempting. I’ll go with that, please. Oh, and do you have any vegetarian options available?
Cafeteria Staff: Absolutely! For our vegetarian patrons, we have a mouthwatering Mediterranean quinoa salad tossed with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and feta cheese, drizzled with a zesty lemon vinaigrette.
Cafeteria Patron: That sounds delightful! I’ll add that to my order as well. Oh, and can I also get a cup of your soup of the day?
Cafeteria Staff: Of course! Our soup of the day is a hearty minestrone loaded with fresh vegetables and savory herbs.
Cafeteria Patron: Perfect! I’ll have that too. And to drink, I’ll take a refreshing lemonade, please.
Cafeteria Staff: Sounds like a fantastic meal! Your total comes to $15. Will you be paying with cash or card?
