  1. The receptionist should be dismissed on the spot for her limited skills in understanding the real client’s request, beyond the grammatical meaning. On the other hand, each one should adopt expressions without hypothetical misunderstandings.
    If we see that answer as an English humorous episode, it remembers me a similar situation: An Italian tourist in the City of London asked a Londoner on the street where he could have found a good restaurant, and the prompt reply was: in Italy, of course

    1. 😂 Thanks for that, Giuseppe. It got my day started with a big smile!

      My notes:
