"Olá, tudo bem? Eu gostaria de fazer uma pergunta um pouco diferente. Sou cliente do restaurante Duda e gosto muito do atendimento de vocês. Sempre que passo aí, percebo que o rapaz do caixa é muito simpático. Gostaria de saber, de forma respeitosa, se ele é solteiro. Claro, entendo que pode ser uma questão pessoal. Mas, se possível, poderiam me informar discretamente? Não quero ser inconveniente, apenas tenho interesse em saber. Se não puderem responder, compreendo totalmente. Desde já agradeço pela atenção e pelo carinho no atendimento!"
