(I was a waiter at a 50’s style dinner in a mall restaurant where a customer asked me to turn the heat up.)
Customer: “It’s a little cold in here. Could you turn the heat up?”
Me: “I would love to, but the restaurant is open to the mall and we have no control over the mall temperature.”
Customer: “Could you please just try?”
Me: “I would love to but there is no way–”
Customer: “I would really appreciate it if you would just try.”
Me: “I’ll be right back and see what I can do.”
(I then proceed to walk into the back house and munch on some onion rings. After a few minutes pass, I walk out.)
Me: “How’s that?”
Customer: “Much better!”
