W :
Here is the total bill for your stay. Please check it over to see if everything is correct.
M :
Okay, thank you. Let me see... I think there are some mistakes on my bill. I’ve been charged for using the minibar, but I didn’t take anything from it.
W :
Let me check the details... It looks like you used a toothbrush, a tube of toothpaste, and a razor.
M :
Aren’t they complimentary?
W :
I’m sorry, but disposable products are no longer provided free of charge for environmental reasons. In addition, they are included on the price list for the minibar.
M :
I see... There is another problem here. This charge from the coffee shop must be wrong. I didn’t go there once during my stay.
W :
All right, sir. I’ll double-check to see if there is a receipt with your name on it from the coffee shop. [Pause] Oh, here it is. Your name’s on it... Mr. Harris, room 807.
M :
That’s neither my name nor my room number. My last name is Harrison, and I was in room 1807.
W :
Oh, yes. You’re right. I’m very sorry for the mistake, Mr. Harrison. I’ll take that off and print out a new bill for you.
M :
Okay.
W :
Here is your new bill. Once again, I apologize for the mistake.
