Bartender: Certainly sir, I'll get that straight away.
Mr. Jackson: What a day! My feet are aching! Where's an ashtray?!
Bartender: Here you go sir. Did you have a busy day?
Mr. Jackson: Yes, I had to walk all over town to get to meetings. I'm exhausted.
Bartender: I'm sorry to hear that, sir. Here's your drink. That should help.
Mr. Jackson: (takes a long sip) That's what I needed. Much better. Do you have
any snacks?
Bartender: Certainly, here are some peanuts and somen crackers, and a
napkin.
Mr. Jackson: Could I have a stir stick?
Bartender: Coming up... Here you are.
Mr. Jackson: Thanks. You know, I'm sorry to say this, but these snacks are
awful.
Bartender: I'm terribly sorry about that, sir. What seems to be the matter?
Mr. Jackson: The peanuts are stale!
Bartender: I apologize sir, I'll open a fresh can immediately.
Mr. Jackson: Thanks. Sorry to be in such a bad mood.
Bartender: That's quite alright. Can I get you another drink? This one's on the
house.

Bartender: Right away, sir. Do you have any preferences on the whiskey?
Mr. Jackson: Hmmm, what's that bottle over there?
Bartender: That's Jack Daniel's, aged 12 years.
Mr. Jackson: That sounds good. I'd also like to smoke. Is that possible?
Bartender: Unfortunately, we don't allow smoking in the bar. You'll have to step
outside.
