Staff: Okay, it’ll be about an hour. You can wait over there.
Customer 1: Is there a cafeteria or someplace I can get a coffee?
Staff: There are many places outside that sell food and coffee.
Customer 1: But, you have my passport. How do I get back in the embassy? Forget it. I’ll just wait here.

Customer 2: I gave you my husband’s passport and we went outside to eat and now they won’t let him back in without his passport.
