Choose two categories of maxims that B is violating in the given context.  A is a waiter at a restaurant and B is a customer. A checks in on B to make sure everything is going okay.  A: Is everything tasting okay with your food? B: # The steak is a bit less cooked than I wanted. The pasta is okay overall, but it could have been cooked a bit longer. The sauce is saltier than usual. The lighting tonight seems dimmer than usual. I also think the water tastes different. However, I like the new table decorations, even though I usually prefer more delicate ones. By the way, I’m planning to buy a new car next week, maybe a Tesla.
