Is it natural to say “Never mind/ Forget it” in the following circumstances
?
1. when you walk in a restaurant for dinner, but the receptionist says it’s
fully-booked, you can still leave your phone number on a waiting list, but
you decide to seek another restaurant instead.
2. You want to buy item A in a shop but it’s sold out, the staff then
recommends you an item B, in which you have no interest.
Does it sound rude? Or any other phrases you would suggest?
