FINE DINING

(Inspired by the "Your Social Peeve" competition)  
   
Good evening  
It’s nice to see you  
Will you be dining alone?  
Oh forgive me  
I didn’t see your device  
Table for two then  
   
Our specials for today  
An 8 oz filet with spring vegetables and WiFi  
And for your electronic friend  
A nice OS upgrade  
Excellent choice  
And for your tablet?  
Coming right up  
   
Sorry about the delay  
The chef was preoccupied  
He just HAD to complete level 5  
The way you two look into one another’s displays  
mesmerized by love  
I can tell you don’t mind the wait  
One filet, medium rare  
And the latest app  
for your companion  
Bon Appetit!  
   
Hello, Don Ensimismados  
We do take reservations  
when would you like to come?  
I have a table for four at 8 o'clock  
We will see you then  
Listen up kitchen!  
I’ve got a four top coming at 8  
Mr. and Mrs. Jones  
and their smartphones  
It’s their anniversary  
   
What seems to be the problem?  
I am so sorry  
I didn’t realize it wasn’t compatible  
I’ll send it back to the kitchen  
Can I interest you in a charge  
While you wait?  
Free of charge...of course
