      Single Step English thank you so much for your response. I m working at Chinese restaurant. Usually taking orders over the phone.So some times customers blame on me when they claim received wrong items which was their fault. Like one customer came back saying they don’t eat pork however when they placed order they didn’t tell me of that. Also , how do you tell customers when they told you “ I don’t want it if the food is cold”! While our driver is already on the way to deliver food to them. Sometimes customers don’t wanna bring back the return but want a refund ect. Hahah a lot of headaches. Do you have strategies for those problems to deal with??

    • @SingleStepEnglish
      @SingleStepEnglish  3 года назад

      That’s a great question!
      I think you will hear people use both. However, we have a carrot cake implies that the restaurant has one carrot cake. We have carrot cake implies that the restaurant has more than one cake.
      My question....do you prefer carrot cake or chocolate cake?

    • @SingleStepEnglish
      @SingleStepEnglish  3 года назад +1

      One more thing regarding A carrot cake v. carrot cake (your original question).
      If the server had forgotten and then remembered that the restaurant had carrot cake, they would probably say....We also have a carrot cake. In this case, the speaker would include the word A for emphasis.
      I will give you another example:
      Customer: What is the lunch special today?
      Server: We have ginger pork, beef stew, and a delicious seafood chowder.
      In this case, the server is trying to put emphasis on the seafood chowder. Or perhaps, the restaurant would like more customers to order the seafood dish ;-)
      I hope that helps.

      @FPr-dx9si 4 года назад

      Actually, I just finished watching your tipping video - even though many aspects are explained very thoroughly, I still believe something to be missing. You never discuss the actual tipping procedure. For instance, in Germany if you order the check, the waiter will stand in front of you with their wallet. Let's assume the check is 50$ and you want to tip 10% and you have a 100$ bill on you. Now you would say "60 please" and the waiter would give you back 40$. I hope this is comprehensible.
      However, I don't think that is something you could do in the US, right?!
