Dear team.
Customer 1said Oh, then I'll have an apple juice instead, please.
What the different from :
Customer 1: Oh, then I'll choose an apple juice instead, please.
Why is he not just say: give me an apple just please...(it is sound more simply word)
Hello fahri,
The conventional form is I'll have... when ordering something like this. People would understand choose but it would not be the normal form and would sound rather strange.
Give me is very direct and would sound rude in the context of a shop or a restaurant. You could say something like this if you were talking to a very close friend, for example, but even then Could you give... or Can you give... would be more common.

Hello Alifaraax,
I'm afraid there are not certificates of completion for our webpages or courses right now. We'll certainly let your users know if this changes in the future.
All the best,
