Colleague Lunch Discussion
Deciding where to eat lunch and coordinating with coworkers
Situations
Choose from 6 conversations to practice
Initial Brainstorming
Colleagues begin discussing potential lunch spots, throwing out various ideas and preferences.
Dietary Restrictions & Preferences Check
Someone in the group brings up dietary restrictions (e.g., vegetarian, allergies) or strong preferences, prompting a re-evaluation of options.
Budget & Distance Negotiation
Colleagues discuss practical considerations like budget per person and how far they are willing to walk or drive for lunch.
Making the Final Decision
After some back-and-forth, the group tries to reach a consensus and choose one specific restaurant or type of cuisine.
Coordinating Logistics
Once a decision is made, the group discusses practicalities like who is going, what time to leave, and if anyone needs to make a reservation.
Last-Minute Change of Plans
Just before heading out, unexpected circumstances (e.g., a planned restaurant is closed, a new urgent task) force a quick change or postponement of lunch plans.
