A middle-aged lady came with a big pitcher of coffee and four menus to get their orders.
By the time George, Nora, and Marcy got a cup of coffee (James didn't want any), and they ordered sodas, Nora was ready to order first.
"Sirloin steak, medium..."
"We are out of steak.", the woman interrupted Nora.
"Pot roast with..."
"We are out.", the woman cut off George's order.
Marcy was next. "Chicken skillet..."
"That's out also."
"How about a fish platter?", James asked, already guessing that it won't be available.
The woman grimaced. "Fish is not fresh, so I wouldn't recommend it."
After attempting to order a few more dishes, Nora snapped, "How about you tell us what IS available?"
The woman was not fazed by Nora's attitude. "Sweetie, I would recommend house special. Burger and fries."
"Is that all?", Marcy asked.
