Appointment: a meeting set for a specific time or place:
CP: Greetings, sir. How may I turn our conversation into a post today?
Doesn't Understand The Concept Here: <presents covid vaccine record card>
CP: Pretty.
DUTCH: I'd like to schedule an appointment.
CP: <Knowing how this will go, thereby baiting> Phor?
DUTCH: A covid booster.
CP: Okay. And which one?
DUTCH: Da Booster.
CP: Da Bears.
DUTCH: Huh?
CP: Which Booster?
DUTCH: The new one.
CP: <tired of this game already> And which day works best phor you. Phor your appointment?
DUTCH: Now.
CP: Sorry?
DUTCH: Now. I'd like it now.
CP: Mayhap you misunderstand the concept of both "scheduling" and "appointment". To schedule means to plan phor a phuture date. Phuture, as in not today, let alone not forthwith. Appointment is an agreed upon time in the phuture where we conduct business. You are expecting a walk in vaccine.
DUTCH: So can you do it now?
CP: No. As you clearly expected, our covid boosters are by appointment only. Which requires scheduling. Phor the phuture. Uber Tech here will gladly assist you with this.
