Following the meeting with HR Thomasz decides not to return to work at this point. To try and lift his spirits Catriona organises for Thomasz to go out out to dinner with some friends.
At the restaurant the waiter brings them over the menu and Thomasz is very keen to make his choice independently. Click here to view the menu: Italian restaurant menu [PDF, 117KB]
When Thomasz opens the menu he realises that it is very detailed and written in Italian and English. He finds it very difficult to read the menu but doesn’t want the others see he is struggling. The waiter approaches the table to take their order. Thomasz feels under pressure, so when the waiter suggests pork Thomasz agrees. Catriona looks baffled as she knows he doesn’t like pork and that his favourite food is fish.
When the meal arrives, Thomasz is frustrated and states he won’t go out for a meal again. He goes to the toilet and overhears the waiter saying ‘The man at table 6 couldn’t decide what he wanted and was slurring his speech – he must be drunk.’
