Excuse me, is it ok to swap seats? We’re a little bit too close to the smoking section.
Waiter
That would be no problem. Let me just clear the table for you.
Customer
Is it ok to keep this seat? Our friend will arrive in about 30 minutes or so.
Waiter
Sure, would you like to order a drink while you wait?
Customer
If I order the green salad, is it ok to have the dressing on the side? Like in a little dish?
Waiter
That should be no problem. I’ll let the kitchen know your request.
Customer
Oh, and the coffee we ordered, can you please bring that with our desserts after our meal? I don’t want to drink it with dinner.
Waiter
No problem at all. I’ll bring it round after I take your empty plates.
