健忘的餐廳服務(wù)員

At a restaurant,my husband and I had a waitress who was just now on the job.Four munutes after taking out order,she returned to say "sorry,will you tell me again?"And then she came back with nothing.We made another selection,but my husband’s choice was sold out after she came back again.We ordered a third time.Ten minutes later she appeared ,looking nervous."I fotgot to put your order in." She frankly admitted.So we had no way just to wait fot a forth time.We couldn’t imagine how many times we could enjoy our meal.
