Write a letter to the newspaper editor about an experience you had at a restaurant.
The experience can be good or bad. Describe your experience in detail and state whether or not you recommend others to visit the restaurant.

To the editor,

I recently had a dining experience at a local restaurant called “The Twisted Fiddle,” that I must write in to tell you about. This was the worst dining experience I have ever had. Upon entering, it took 10 minutes before a host noticed me and took me to a table. After seating, I had to wait another 10 minutes for my drink order to be taking. The waitress was very rude. I looked through the menu and decided on something I didn’t think would be bad.

Unfortunately, after waiting another 20 minutes for my food, it turned out to be poorly cooked and seasoned. I asked to see the manager and the waitress once more gave me an attitude. I spoke with the manager but was not pleased with the conversation. Please print this letter so that others can avoid such a poor dining experience.

Thank you,
Unhappy Customer
