Matre d': We need to replace the point of sale terminals our servers use to place orders with the kitchen. The existing units are too complicated and slow service to our customers. New terminals would speed order delivery by 18 percent.
Restaurant Manager: No, we should keep the existing terminals. We can give our staff more training in the existing terminals. A new system would be too expensive.
Matre d': That won't work. The staff has already been well trained in our current system and their speed has not increased any.

- C The Matre d' claims that a new system would increase customer satisfaction.
- D The Matre d_ claims that additional staff training would be too expensive.
