Understanding when to place a napkin on your lap at a dining table, how long to wait on hold during a phone call, and being courteous when seeking to call back later or asking for a repeat of information are all part of social norms and manners. These norms help facilitate polite and effective communication.
When the pizza store asks if they may put you on hold, responding depends on your preference and circumstance. If you are able to wait, you might say 'Yes, please'. If you're in a hurry, 'No, thank you', or if you didn't catch what was said, 'I'm sorry, what did you say?'.
And if you need to call back when you have more time or when it's more convenient for you, 'I'll call back later' would be appropriate. It is important to follow up if you've promised someone a call back, as this is part of maintaining reliable and respectful communication.
