Community Lunch in London

It is 10:00 AM on Saturday, November 12th. Yusuf meets Fatih at the busy train station near Platform 4.

The weather is rainy, but they walk quickly to the community center. They have worked as volunteers for the local charity all morning.

The announcer says that the 11:30 train is delayed due to roadworks. They decide to visit a nearby restaurant for lunch instead.

Yusuf reads the menu aloud to Fatih. The roast chicken costs 12.50 pounds and the soup is 4.00 pounds.

Fatih asks Yusuf if they should add a tip to the bill. Yusuf explains that a service charge is sometimes included in the total.

They order two meals and a drink. The total price for their lunch is 22.00 pounds exactly.

Yusuf tells Fatih that tipping 10 percent is common in the UK. They decide to leave 2.00 pounds extra for the waiter.

After the meal, they check their appointment for the doctor at 2:00 PM. They do not want to be late for the health check.

They leave the restaurant feeling happy about their contribution. Volunteering for the neighborhood feels very rewarding.

They arrive at the clinic on time. The day has been very productive for both Yusuf and Fatih.
