(Ken and Leo are talking about the minimum charge..) Ken: Food is less expensive in a cafeteria, because you serve yourself. Leo: How to do it? Ken: Just pick up a tray, then put a knife, a fork, a spoon and a paper napkin on it and stand in the line. Leo: What is the minimum charge? Ken: It's not the same. Generally speaking, you can't pay for soft drinks. But you charge some money for each alcohol order. Leo: I see. How long will it take to reach the buffet?
