Me: “Thank you for calling [restaurant]. How may I help you?”

Caller: “How long is your wait right now?”

Me: “There is no wait at the moment.”

Caller: “What does that mean?”

Me: “That you don’t have to wait for a table.”

Caller: “But how long is the wait?”

Me: “There is none. You will be seated right away.”

Caller: “I don’t understand what you’re trying to tell me!”
