"Thanks for calling Joe's Diner, what can I get for you?"
"Have you seen a man named Daniel sit down to have dinner?"
"Uhh... Customers don't really give me their name."
"Daniel has chestnut hair, about 6'2, and I think he was wearing a white shirt today."
"Ma'am, I've seen about twenty men today with the same description."
"Oh... Thanks anyways. Bye."
"Wait! I do remember people by what they order. What type of food does he like?"
"I don't know... What do you guys offer?"
"Pork chops, meatloaf, we have a variety of pastries and coffee, steak, French fries, mashed potatoes..."
"Okay... Meatloaf then, I guess."
"Oh yes! I think I've seen him. He ordered the onion rings, meatloaf with a side of mashed potatoes, two slices of pecan pie, and one slice of key line pie. "
"He was that hungry?"
"He didn't eat that all by himself, silly."
"Was he with a woman?"
"Yup."
"Oh my God..."
"Would you like for me to leave a name just in case he comes back? Hello? Hello? Hellooo?"
