Nothing to eat at home. Okay, let's cook dinner. I'm starving. >> Yeah, same. Let's check the fridge.

>> I opened the fridge. >> What? >> Is this fridge empty?

>> Wow, that's depressing. >> I see water and sadness. >> Wait, there's one egg.

One egg is not a meal. >> Yeah, that barely counts as food. >> Maybe there's something behind this box.

>> The box is empty, too. >> Seriously, not even vegetables. >> Nope, just sauce. Lots of sauce.

>> We have ketchup, soy sauce, and chili sauce. >> Oh, nice sauce for dinner.

>> Yeah, no thanks. Sorry, I was really busy this week. I didn't go to the supermarket.

>> Yeah, I noticed the fridge is on vacation. >> Okay, rude.

>> I'm just being honest. >> So, what do we do now? >> Option one, instant noodles.

>> Classic, fast and sad. >> Option two, fried chicken. >> Oh, now that sounds good.

Yeah, but delivery is kind of expensive. >> True. >> But we had noodles yesterday, too.

>> And the day before that. >> My stomach is tired of noodles. >> My wallet is scared of fried chicken.

>> We can share one order. >> H. Okay, that sounds better. >> And tomorrow we're going shopping. No

excuses. >> Deal. Big supermarket trip tomorrow. >> Vegetables, meat, real food,

>> and snacks. >> Oh, yeah. Very important. >> Okay, I'll order the fried chicken.

>> Spicy or normal? >> Spicy. >> Good choice.

>> Unlike this fridge. >> Yeah, let's not open it again tonight. >> The scanner wouldn't read.

All right. Your total is $18.50. >> Oh, okay. Um, I think I have a discount code on the app.

>> Oh, nice. No problem. >> Let me find it. Ah, here. >> All right. I'll scan it for you.

>> Okay. >> H. >> Oh, is something wrong?

>> Oh, I don't think it's reading the code. >> Really? Yeah. Let me try one more time.

>> Sure. >> H still nothing. >> Maybe my screen's too dark.

>> Oh, yeah. Maybe. >> I turned the brightness down this morning to save battery.

>> Oh, yeah. And now the scanner wants full brightness. >> Seriously. Okay, let me turn it up.

>> All right, try now. >> Here. >> Ah, there we go. Got it.

>> Finally. Okay, your discount worked. You saved $4.

>> Oh, nice. >> So now the total is $1450. >> Perfect. I'll pay by card.

>> Sure. >> Oh, technology. >> Very true.

>> At least it worked in the end. >> Yep. Payment accepted. >> Nice. I was worried for a second there.

>> Happens pretty often, actually. >> Really? Yeah, especially with apps and digital tickets.

>> Oh, good to know it's not just me. >> Definitely not. >> Thanks for helping.

>> Of course. >> I probably would have restarted my phone next.

>> Honestly, most people do that first, >> including me. >> I would too, honestly.

>> Anyway, have a good day. >> You too. The shocking bill.

Hey, excuse me. Could I have the bill, please? >> Of course. I will bring it right over.

>> Thanks. >> Here you are. >> Wait a second.

>> Is something wrong? >> Wrong? This bill looks like somebody's rent payment.

>> Oh, >> it says $840. >> I see.

>> I only ordered soup and tea. Did the soup come with shark fin or something? >> Uh, let me check that for you.

>> Please do. My soul just left my body a little. >> One moment, please.

>> I thought this was a restaurant, not a five-star hotel. >> Uh, okay. I found the problem.

>> Please tell me I did not accidentally pay for somebody's wedding. No, nothing that serious. The system

mixed up the tables. >> Mixed up how? >> You are table six downstairs, but this

bill belongs to table six upstairs. >> Oh, so there are two table sixes. >> Yeah, one on each floor.

>> That feels a little risky. >> Yeah, a little. >> What did the upstairs people order? Gold

pasta, >> a lot of wine, seafood, and a birthday dinner package.

>> Ah, that explains the emotional damage. >> Sorry again about that. >> I looked at the bill and forgot how to

breathe. >> I'm so sorry. Here is the corrected receipt.

>> Okay, $12.50. Yes, that sounds like soup and tea. again. I am really sorry about the

mistake. >> It is okay. Honestly, it was kind of funny after the first shock.

>> At least now you have a good story. >> Yeah. For 10 seconds, I thought my vacation was over.

>> True. >> Okay, I'll pay by card. >> Of course.

>> Now I'm checking every number carefully. >> Probably a smart idea. a problem with the room.

Hi, sorry. I just checked in a few minutes ago. >> Oh, no problem. Is everything okay with

the room? >> Yeah, the room's nice. It's just a little noisy.

>> Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. >> I think I'm right next to the elevator. >> Ah, okay. Let me check your room number

real quick. >> It's 508. Oh, yeah. That room's pretty close to

the elevator. >> H Yeah, I noticed that very quickly. >> Yeah, those doors are not exactly quiet.

>> Especially with my luck today. >> Oh, long day. >> Very long. My flight got delayed twice.

>> Oof. Yeah, that sounds exhausting. >> Honestly, I mostly just want sleep right now. Yeah, I understand. Let me see if

we have another room available. >> Oh, thank you. I'd really appreciate that.

>> Of course. One moment, please. >> Sure. >> Okay. Good news. We do have another room

on the seventh floor. >> Oh, nice. Is it far from the elevator? >> Yeah, much farther. It should be a lot

quieter. >> That sounds perfect. >> And it's the same price, same bed, too.

>> Great. All right, just give me one second to change it in the system. >> No problem.

>> Okay, all set. Here's your new key card. >> Thank you so much. >> Of course. Sorry again about the noise.

>> Oh, no. It's okay. Not really your fault. >> Still, we want you to be comfortable.

>> I appreciate that. >> Do you need help with your bag? >> No, I'm okay. It has wheels, thankfully.

>> Oh, that definitely helps. Yeah, learned that lesson the hard way. >> All right, I'll go try the new room now.

>> Of course. I hope this one's much quieter. >> Me, too.

>> Have a restful night. >> Thanks. You, too. >> Almost missed breakfast.

>> Oh, breakfast is still open, right? >> Yes, until 10:00. >> Okay, good. I seriously thought I was

too late. >> You still have time. >> That's a relief. I forgot to set an

alarm last night. >> Ah, that happens sometimes, >> especially in hotel rooms. The beds are

too comfortable. >> Yeah, I hear that a lot. >> Is everything over there selfservice?

>> Yes. Drinks are on the left. >> Okay, got it. And the hot food is near the kitchen.

>> Thank you. >> We also brought out fresh pancakes a few minutes ago.

>> Oh, nice. >> And there are still eggs and toast, too. >> Perfect. I was worried everything would

already be gone. >> No, no, there's still plenty left. >> Oh, where are the coffee cups?

>> Right beside the machine. >> Ah, okay. Thanks. >> You're welcome. The coffee smells really

good. >> Yeah, a lot of guests like it. >> Good. I definitely need coffee first

today. >> Then you came to the right place. >> That's good to hear. H I think I'll try

the pancakes, too. >> They've been really popular this morning.

>> Yeah, they do look really good. >> The maple syrup is beside the fruit bowls.

>> Oh, thanks. I probably wouldn't have seen it. >> No problem.

>> Is it usually this quiet here? >> Um, usually earlier is much busier. >> Honestly, I like it better now.

>> Yeah, it's calmer after the morning rush. >> H, it feels relaxing in here. Oh, are

those seats near the window free? >> Yes, they are. >> Nice. I might sit there.

>> The view's really nice in the morning. Yeah, I can already tell. Thanks for helping me, by the way.

>> Of course. >> I was sure I missed breakfast completely.

>> Luckily, you made it in time. >> Yeah, and now I'm suddenly very hungry. >> Enjoy your breakfast.

>> Thank you. >> First day at the burger restaurant. >> Hey, you must be the new employee.

>> Yeah. Hi, I'm Olivia. >> Nice to meet you, Olivia. I'm Jake. I'll train you today.

>> Thanks. I'm a little nervous right now. >> Uh, yeah, that's normal on the first day.

>> I just hope I can learn everything quickly. >> You'll be fine. Let's start with the

front counter. >> Okay. >> When customers walk in, just smile and

greet them, >> like hi or welcome. >> Yep. Simple and friendly.

>> All right. >> Then ask what they'd like to order. >> What if they need more time to look at

the menu? >> Oh, that's totally fine. Just give them a minute.

>> So, I shouldn't rush them, >> right? Nobody likes that. >> Got it.

>> Some customers will ask questions about the food, too. >> Like what?

>> H maybe what comes with the meal or what drinks we have. Oh, okay. >> And if you don't know something, just

ask another worker. >> Okay, good. >> Yeah. Never guess.

>> I'll remember that. >> After you take the order, enter it into the register.

>> All right. >> Then tell the customer the total price. >> And after they pay,

>> give them the receipt and the table number card. >> Oh, the little number things.

>> Yep. Those. >> Okay. Yeah, I've seen those before. >> Then the kitchen starts making the food.

>> What do I do while customers wait? >> You can clean tables or refill napkins and sauces.

>> Oh no, that sounds busy. >> Lunch rush gets kind of crazy here. >> Uh-oh.

>> Don't panic yet. >> I'll try not to. >> Honestly, you'll learn pretty fast after

a few hours. >> I hope so. Oh, and always doublech checkck drink orders.

>> Why? >> Because people get really upset when the drink is wrong.

>> Honestly, same. >> See, you already understand customers. >> That's my special skill.

>> Nice. I think you'll fit in well here. >> Thanks. I'm starting to feel a little more relaxed now.

>> Good. We open in 15 minutes. >> Okay. I think I'm ready. >> Great. Let's practice one order before

customers arrive. Weekend coffee run. >> Excuse me. Is this seat free?

>> Oh, yeah. Go ahead. >> Thanks. Wow, this place is really busy today.

>> Yeah, weekends here are kind of crazy. >> I almost left when I saw the line outside.

>> Honestly, a lot of people do that. Then why is everybody still here? >> The coffee smell gets them.

>> Okay. Yeah, maybe that worked on me, too. >> First time here.

>> Is it that obvious? >> Um, a little. >> Yeah. My friend talks about this cafe

all the time. >> Oh, so you finally came to see if it's actually good.

>> Exactly. >> And >> honestly, I like it so far. It's loud,

but still feels calm somehow. >> Yeah, that's why I keep coming back here.

>> Do you come here a lot? >> Probably too much. >> Then I need help. What should I get?

>> H What do you usually drink? >> Just iced coffee usually. Nothing fancy. >> Oh, then you'd probably like the vanilla

cold brew. >> Hm. Vanilla cold brew. >> Yeah, it's really good.

>> Oh, okay. Is it really sweet? >> No, not really. Just a little. >> H. Okay, that sounds good.

>> The strawberry cake is really popular, too. >> My friend mentioned that.

>> Yeah, people are kind of obsessed with it here. >> Is it actually good?

>> Honestly, yeah. I bought it once, then came back again 2 days later. >> Okay, that's a pretty good review.

>> Yeah. >> Oh, I saw stairs near the entrance. Is there another floor?

>> Yeah. Upstairs is much quieter. >> Really? >> Yeah. There's a window seat up there,

too. >> Oh, nice. >> Especially when it rains.

>> Okay, that sounds really nice, actually. >> See, now you get why people stay here for hours.

>> Yeah, I can already feel it. All right, I should probably go order now. >> Good luck with the line.

>> Oh, no. Don't scare me already. Thanks for the recommendations. >> Anytime.

>> Something quick for dinner. >> Are you hungry yet? >> Yeah, a little.

>> Do you want to cook tonight or just order food? >> H maybe cook.

>> Really? >> Yeah, we ordered food yesterday already. >> True.

>> But uh I also don't want to spend an hour cooking. Same. I'm really tired today.

>> What do we even have at home? >> Hold on. Let me check the fridge. >> Please tell me there's something easy.

>> Oh, we still have pasta. >> Okay, that's already good news. >> And there's chicken, too.

>> Oh, nice. Pasta actually sounds really good right now. >> Hm. Cream sauce or tomato sauce?

>> Oh, tomato for sure. Yeah, I was hoping you'd say that. >> Cream sauce feels too heavy tonight.

>> Honestly, yeah. >> Wait, do we still have cheese? >> Um, a little. Not much, though.

>> Enough for pasta? >> Yeah, probably. >> Okay, good enough then.

>> I can cook the chicken if you want. >> Oh, really? >> Yeah, sure. You cooked last time?

>> Ah, thanks. Okay, deal. I'll make the sauce then. >> Oh, the tomatoes are on the top shelf.

>> Got him. >> Careful. One of them is super soft already.

>> Ah, yeah. I see it. >> We should probably use that one first. >> Definitely. Can you boil the pasta, too?

>> Yep. How much should I make? >> Maybe enough for tomorrow, too. >> Smart idea.

>> Future us will be very happy. Very true. Do you want anything to drink?

>> Just water tonight is fine. >> Cold water? >> Yeah, please. M. The sauce smells really

good already. >> Nice. The chicken's almost ready, too. >> Wow, this actually turned into a real

dinner. >> Better than instant noodles again, >> honestly. Yes.

>> All right, food's ready. >> Perfect timing. >> Thanks for helping. Hey, we both cooked

this time. >> True. Somehow that makes it taste better.

>> Yeah, I think so, too. >> Looking for a chocolate gift? >> Excuse me. Um, can I ask you something?

>> Yeah, of course. >> I need a small gift for my coworker, but honestly, I don't know much about

chocolate. >> No worries. Do you know what kind she likes?

H probably sweeter chocolate. >> Okay. Yeah, that helps. >> There's always chocolate on our desk, so

I figured it was a safe gift. >> Yeah, probably. We have some samples, too, if you want to try a few first.

>> Oh, really? >> Yeah. It's easier than guessing from the boxes.

>> Honestly, yeah, please. >> Okay, maybe start with this one. Oh, what flavor is it?

>> Milk chocolate with caramel. >> Oh, wow. Okay, that's really good. >> Yeah, people really like that one.

>> I can see why. >> And this one has hazelnut. >> Hm. Oh, I like this one, too.

>> It's a little less sweet. >> Yeah, I think I like that better, actually.

>> We also have strawberry cream. >> Oh, okay. Let me try that one, too. >> Sure. H. Yeah, maybe not this one.

>> Too sweet >> a little. It tastes more like candy. >> Yeah, I get that.

>> I think the caramel one feels safest for a gift. >> Yeah, that's a good choice.

>> How much is the small box? >> $12. >> Okay, that's fine.

>> Do you want normal packaging or gift wrap? >> Oh, how much is gift wrap?

>> Just $2 extra. Hm. Okay. Why not? >> All right. >> And uh maybe I'll get a small bar for

myself, too. >> Good choice. >> Yeah, the samples worked. How much is

everything together? >> $15 total. >> Okay, here's my card.

>> You can tap right here. >> Okay, done. >> Perfect. I'll pack the gift box now.

Here you go. >> Oh, wow. That actually looks really nice.

>> Glad you like it. >> Honestly, this was way easier than I expected.

>> Happy to help. >> Sudden rain in London. Oh no, it's raining so hard.

>> Uh, you look a little stressed. Are you okay? >> Yeah, I didn't bring an umbrella today.

>> Ah, that's unlucky. The rain started so suddenly. >> Yeah, London weather changes really fast

sometimes. >> I walked outside like 1 minute ago. Now I'm completely stuck here.

>> Yeah, that happens a lot here. >> I just don't want to get completely soaked.

>> Don't worry, there's a small shop nearby. >> Oh, really?

>> Yeah, they sell umbrellas there. Okay, good. Is it far? >> Not really. Maybe 5 minutes from here.

>> Oh, that's not bad. >> Just walk straight down this street. >> Okay.

>> Then turn right at the bakery with the red sign. >> Ah, okay. I think I saw it earlier.

>> Yeah, the shop is right next to it. >> Perfect. >> Hopefully they still have umbrellas

left. Yeah, I probably am not the only tourist today.

>> Definitely not. >> Honestly, I was worried for a second. >> First day in London.

>> Is it that obvious? >> A little bit. Yeah. >> I arrived this morning.

>> Ah, welcome to London then. >> Thanks. I'm excited to explore the city. >> Just always carry an umbrella with you.

Yeah, I am learning that already. >> Oh, and there's a cafe beside the shop, too.

>> Really? >> Yeah. You can grab a coffee while you wait for the rain to slow down.

>> Okay, that actually sounds really nice right now. >> See, the rainy day is getting better

already. >> Yeah, maybe this is part of the London experience.

>> Exactly. Rain, coffee, and umbrellas. >> Thanks for helping me today. >> No problem. Enjoy your trip.

>> Stopping by before work. Morning. Wow, it smells really good in here.

>> Good morning. The first batch just came out a little while ago. >> Ah, okay. That explains it. I could

smell the bread from the street. Yeah, that happens a lot in the morning. >> Is it always this quiet this early?

>> Usually, yes. Most people come in around 7. >> Nice. I like bakeries when they're calm

like this. >> Yeah. Mornings here are really nice. >> Um, what do people buy the most here?

>> Probably the cheese rolls. >> These ones? >> Yep. We made them fresh this morning.

>> Oh, they look really good, actually. The cinnamon buns are popular, too. >> Oh, no. Now I want something sweet, too.

>> Yeah, that happens very quickly in bakeries. >> Seriously, I only came in for bread.

>> That's what a lot of people say. >> And then somehow I leave with five things.

>> Exactly. What kind of bread were you looking for? >> H maybe something simple. The brown loaf

is really soft today. >> Okay, I'll try that one. >> Small or large?

>> Large, please. I do not want to come back tomorrow already. >> Fair enough.

Anything else? >> Uh, two cheese rolls, too, >> of course.

>> And one cinnamon bun. >> Good choice. >> Everything smells too good in here.

>> Yeah, fresh bread is hard to ignore. Very true. Do you bake everything here? >> Yes, every morning.

>> That must start super early. >> Around 4:00. >> Wow. I am definitely still asleep at

that time. >> Most people are. >> All right. I think that's everything.

>> Okay. Your total is $11. >> Here's my card. >> You can tap right here.

>> Done. >> Thank you very much. Thank you. Honestly, I'm really glad I

stopped here this morning. >> Hope to see you again. >> Yeah, probably.

>> Have a good day at work. >> Thanks. You, too. Asking about the menu.

Um, sorry. Can I ask a few things about the menu? >> Yeah, of course.

>> Thanks. Some of these names are new to me. >> No problem. Some of the pasta names are

Italian, so it can be confusing at first. >> Ah, okay. I was starting to feel a

little lost there. >> You're okay. I can explain anything if you want.

>> All right. What's tag leatelli? >> It's a type of pasta. Long noodles. >> Oh, okay.

>> The mushroom tagotelli has cream sauce and mushrooms. >> M. Is it really heavy?

>> Uh, a little. Yeah. >> Ah, maybe not tonight. Then >> if you want something lighter, the pesto

pasta is good, too. >> Oh, what's in that? >> Basil sauce, chicken, and parmesan

cheese. >> H. Okay, that actually sounds nice. Is pesto strong?

>> Not really. It's pretty fresh. >> Okay. Yeah, maybe I can try that. Huh? Feeling a little adventurous tonight?

>> A little. Just a little. And what's this drink here? Sparkling lemonade. >> Homemade lemonade with sparkling water.

>> Oh, sweet or sour? >> Kind of both. >> M. All right. I'll try that, too.

>> Nice choice. >> I usually order the same food everywhere.

>> Honestly, a lot of people do. Yeah, but I guess I should try something different while traveling.

>> Exactly. >> Oh, one more thing. >> Sure.

>> The pasta portion isn't huge, right? >> No, normal size. >> Good. I ordered way too much food

yesterday. >> First trip to the city. >> Is it that obvious?

>> Uh, a little. >> Fair enough. >> All right. So, one pesto pasta and one

sparkling lemonade. >> Yep, that's it. >> Perfect. I'll put that in now.

>> Thanks for helping me with the menu. >> Of course. >> I feel smarter already.

>> That's the goal. >> Nice. The new haircut.

>> Oh, wow. Emma, you look so >> So what? Uh, different. >> Different good or different bad?

>> No, no, good. You just look fresher somehow. >> Oh, so you noticed.

>> So, you cut your hair. >> Yeah, I did. >> Wow, that's a pretty big change.

>> Too short. >> No, no, you look good. I was just surprised.

>> Yeah, my sister said the same thing. >> Really? >> Yeah. She just stared at me for like 5

seconds. >> Okay, that's kind of scary. >> I know.

>> So, when did you do it? >> Last night after work. >> Oh, wow. That feels kind of risky.

>> Yeah, it really was. The salon was almost closing. >> Ah, late night decisions.

>> Seriously, I almost changed my mind like three times. >> But you still did it.

>> Yeah. And honestly, washing my hair is way faster now. >> Okay, that's actually a good reason.

>> Oh, definitely. >> So, big day today, >> kind of. Yeah. I'm meeting an important

client this afternoon. >> Oh, so this is the important meeting haircut.

>> Maybe. >> Well, I think it works. >> Really?

>> Yeah. You look good. >> Okay, good. Yeah, people notice haircuts right away.

>> Oh, definitely. Nobody says anything for months, then suddenly, wait, you cut your hair?

>> Exactly. Honestly, people always feel nervous after a haircut.

>> Really? >> Oh, yeah. Every time my sister cuts her hair, she regrets it for like two days.

>> Seriously? >> Every single time. Okay, that actually makes me feel better.

>> See, you're already doing better than most people. >> Thanks.

>> Well, good luck with the client meeting today. >> Thank you, and thanks for being honest.

>> Of course. >> Yeah, I feel a little less nervous now. Lunch before the meeting.

Hi. Um, can I order here? >> Yeah, of course. What would you like? Um, I need something quick. I have a

meeting soon. >> Oh, yeah. We can make something fast. >> Perfect.

>> What kind of sandwich would you like? >> What do people usually get for lunch here?

>> The turkey sandwich is really popular. >> Oh, okay. That sounds good. >> White bread or brown?

>> Brown bread, please. >> Do you want cheese? >> Yeah, but just a little. Any vegetables?

>> Just lettuce and tomato. >> Any sauce? >> Um, mustard, please.

>> Sure. >> Oh, can you toast the bread, too? >> Yeah, no problem.

>> Thanks. >> Anything to drink? >> Just water.

>> Still or sparkling? >> Still, please. >> Anything else today?

>> H maybe chips, too. We have plain, barbecue, and cheese flavor.

>> Plain is fine. >> Okay. All right. So, that's one turkey sandwich on brown bread, light cheese,

lettuce, tomato, mustard, plus water, and plain chips. >> Yep, that's right.

>> Perfect. Your total is $12.50. >> Okay, here you are. >> Thank you. They're making your sandwich

now. Nice. >> Do you work nearby? >> Yeah, in the office building across the

street. >> Oh, nice. That's convenient. >> Yeah, really convenient, actually. My

co-workers come here a lot. >> We get a lot of office people around lunchtime.

>> Honestly, I get why now. It smells really good in here. >> Thank you.

>> I skipped breakfast, too, so I'm extra hungry today. Ah, then you definitely needed lunch.

>> Yeah, probably. >> Here's your water and chips. >> Thank you very much.

>> You're welcome. And here's your sandwich. >> Oh, perfect. Thank you.

>> Careful, the bread's still hot. >> Oh, nice. Even better. >> Enjoy your lunch.

>> Thanks. Have a good afternoon. >> You, too. Exchanging a sweater.

Hi. Um, can I exchange this sweater? >> Yeah, sure. What seems to be the problem?

>> The sleeves are a little too short for me. >> Ah, okay. Do you have the receipt with

you? >> Yeah, it should be somewhere in the bag. >> No worries.

>> Ah, here it is. >> Thank you. Let me check first. >> Okay. I was in a hurry yesterday and

grabbed the wrong size. >> Yeah, that happens all the time. >> I usually wear medium. I do not even

know why I picked a small. >> Shopping too fast is dangerous sometimes,

>> apparently. >> What size would you like instead? >> Medium, please.

>> Same color. >> Yeah, if possible. Okay, let me check. Thanks. Oh, good news. We still have

medium in gray. >> Nice. >> Um, just so you know, this sweater was

part of last weekend's sale. >> Oh, right. I forgot about that. >> Since the sale ended, the medium is back

to the regular price. >> Ah, okay. So, I need to pay a little extra.

>> Yeah, just a small difference. How much is it? >> Let me see. Okay, it's $8 extra.

>> H, a little more than I expected, honestly. >> Yeah, it's just the sale difference.

>> Makes sense. >> Do you want to try the medium first? >> Yeah, probably a smart idea this time.

>> The fitting rooms are over there. >> Oh, wow. This already feels much better. >> Yeah, that looks better.

>> I can actually move my arms now. >> That's usually important with sweaters. >> Definitely.

>> All right, looks good then. >> Yeah, I'll take it. >> Perfect.

>> I'll pay by card. >> You can tap your card right here. >> Okay, done.

>> Thank you. And here's the new receipt. >> Should I keep it? Yeah, just in case.

>> Got it. Thanks for the help. >> Of course. >> I'm glad the bigger size worked out.

>> Me, too. >> Have a good afternoon. >> You, too.

>> Looking for a quiet place to study? >> Hi. Um, do I need a library card to study here?

>> You can study here without a card, but you need one for the study rooms and computers. Oh, okay. Then I should

probably make one. >> Yeah, sure. It only takes a few minutes. >> I actually moved nearby last week.

>> Oh, then welcome to the neighborhood. >> Thanks. I walked past this library yesterday and decided to come in today.

>> Yeah, that happens a lot actually. Can I get your name? >> Daniel Clark.

>> And your address? 18 River Street. >> Okay, thank you. Do you have an ID with you?

>> Yes. One second. It should be in my bag somewhere. >> No rush.

>> Ah, here it is. >> Perfect. >> Is the card free?

>> Yep, completely free. >> Oh, nice. >> You can borrow up to 10 books at a time.

>> 10? I do not think I read that fast. >> You'd be surprised.

>> I see. Uh, how long can I keep them? >> 3 weeks. >> Okay, that sounds reasonable.

>> You can renew them online later, too. >> Oh, that's really useful. >> All right, here's your card.

>> Thank you very much. >> You're welcome. >> Um, where's the quiet study area?

Second floor near the back windows. >> Great. Is it usually busy in the afternoon?

>> After school? Yeah. Mornings are normally quieter. >> Ah, okay. Good to know. And where are

the fiction books? >> Also on the second floor. >> Oh, nice. I might look around a little

first. >> Yeah, take your time. >> This place is really nice, actually.

Thank you. >> It feels much calmer than the coffee shops near my apartment.

>> Yeah, a lot of people come here for that reason. >> Honestly, I think I'll be here a lot.

>> Yeah, we'll probably see you again then. >> Probably. >> Enjoy the library.

>> Thanks. Have a good afternoon. >> You too. before the school concert.

You look stressed. Everything okay? >> Uh, kind of. I have the school concert this weekend.

>> Oh, right. Your piano performance. >> Yeah. And now I'm suddenly nervous again.

>> I thought you practiced that piece for weeks already. I did but practicing alone feels very different

>> because of the audience >> mostly. Yeah. >> A lot of people coming.

>> Pretty sure half the school is coming at this point. >> Oh no.

>> And they moved it to the main auditorium this year. >> Oh wow. That room is huge.

>> Exactly. Is this your first time performing there? >> First solo there?

>> Ah, okay. Yeah, I'd be nervous, too. >> Usually, I play with the music group, >> so there's less pressure,

>> right? This time it's just me and the piano. >> What are you playing again?

>> A chopen piece. >> Oh, wow. Sounds fancy already. >> It sounds fancy. until I hit the wrong

note. >> You're probably harder on yourself than the audience.

>> Maybe, but piano students notice everything. >> I think you'll be fine.

>> I hope so. I'm more nervous because my family's coming. >> Oh, yeah, that makes sense.

>> Yeah, my parents and my little brother. >> Supportive brother or annoying brother? Honestly, both

>> dangerous combination. >> Last year, he waved at me in the middle of a performance.

>> Seriously? >> Yeah. Huge smile. Both hands, too. >> Okay. I would lose focus immediately.

>> Exactly what happened. >> What time do you play? >> Around 7:20 on Friday night.

>> You'll do great. You've practiced a lot already. >> I hope so.

>> Just don't look at your brother. >> Honestly, that might be the real strategy.

>> The apartment above the bakery. Hi, I'm here to see the apartment from the listing.

>> Oh, right. Third floor. Come on in. >> Thanks. >> Careful with the last step there. It's a

little uneven. Oh, thanks for telling me. >> The building's pretty old, but the

apartment was updated recently. >> Honestly, I like older buildings. >> Yeah, a lot of people do.

>> They feel warmer somehow. >> I get that. And the walls are thick, so it stays pretty quiet.

>> Oh, that's good. I work from home most days. >> Then yeah, quiet probably matters a lot.

Definitely. >> Here's the living room. >> Oh, wow. The windows are bigger than I

expected. >> The light in here is really nice in the afternoon.

>> Yeah, this already feels really comfortable. How long did the last tenants stay here?

>> Um, almost 4 years, I think. >> Oh, that's usually a good sign. >> Yeah, usually.

>> Is the bakery downstairs loud in the morning? >> Not really. Sometimes you smell fresh

bread around 6:00 though. >> Honestly, that sounds kind of amazing. >> Yeah, it's actually pretty nice.

>> How much was the rent again? >> 1,100 a month. >> Okay. And utilities.

>> Water's included. Internet and electricity are separate. >> All right, that sounds reasonable.

>> The kitchen was redone last year, too. >> Oh, I like these shelves. They're deeper than they look.

>> Nice. I cook a lot, so that definitely helps. Is there laundry in the building? >> Yeah, in the basement.

>> Coin laundry. >> Nope, thankfully. >> Oh, nice. That already makes life

easier. And parking. >> You get one spot behind the building. >> Oh, good. I was a little worried about

parking around here. Yeah, the street gets pretty full at night. >> Honestly, I was kind of nervous before

coming here, but I really like this place. >> Glad to hear that.

>> I still want to think about it tonight. >> Of course. No pressure. >> But yeah, this is probably my favorite

place so far. >> Well, that's good news for me. >> Fair enough.

>> If you decide later, just send me a message. >> Yeah, I will. Thanks again for showing

me around. >> Of course. >> Have a good afternoon.

>> You too. >> Missing hotel key card. >> Hi. Sorry. I think I lost my room key

card. >> I'm sorry to hear that. Can I get your name, please?

>> Yeah, of course. It's Sarah Miller. >> Thank you, Miss Miller. What room are you staying in?

Room 508. >> All right. When did you last use the key card?

>> H this morning before breakfast. >> Okay. >> I went shopping, had lunch, and changed

bags a few times. >> Ah, I see. >> Yeah. Now I can't find the card

anywhere. >> Don't worry. We can help you. >> I was starting to panic a little. It

happens sometimes, especially when people are traveling. >> That actually makes me feel better.

>> May I see your ID, please? >> Of course. Here is my passport. >> Thank you. Just one moment.

>> Sure. >> All right. Everything looks fine. >> Okay. So, what happens now?

>> I'm going to deactivate the old card >> so nobody can use it anymore. >> Exactly.

Oh, good. >> And I'll make a new card for you now. >> Great. Uh, do I need to pay for it?

>> No, it's okay this time. >> Oh, wow. Thank you. >> Here's your new key card for room 508.

>> Thanks so much. >> You're welcome. >> I'll definitely be more careful next

time. >> Most people say that. >> Yeah, today has been kind of hectic.

>> I get it. Anyway, thanks again for helping me so quickly. >> No problem at all, Miss Miller. Enjoy

the rest of your stay. >> Thank you. Have a nice evening. >> You, too.

>> Lunch from the food cart. >> Hey, what can I get for you? >> Honestly, I'm still deciding.

>> Yeah, no rush. >> I walked by earlier and the line was huge.

Yeah, lunchtime gets kind of crazy here. >> I figured the food was probably good then.

>> I'd like to think so. >> All right. What's the chicken wrap like? >> Pretty simple. Chicken, veggies, and

sauce in a wrap. >> Oh, okay. >> You can get grilled or crispy chicken.

>> Grilled, please. >> Got it. Want everything in it? >> Um, what comes with it again?

Lettuce, tomato, onion, and sauce. >> No onion, please. >> Sure. Mild sauce or spicy?

>> Hm. How spicy is spicy? >> Not too bad. Just a little kick. >> Okay, I can probably handle that.

>> Brave answer. >> We'll find out soon. Oh, and one sparkling water, too.

>> Yep. Okay. Grilled chicken wrap, spicy sauce, and one sparkling water. >> Yep, that's right.

>> Perfect. $11 total. >> Okay, I'll pay by card. >> You can tap right there.

>> All right, done. >> Perfect. Drinks are in the cooler on the side.

>> Ah, got it. Thanks. I think I've seen this cart before, actually. >> Probably. We're here most weekdays.

Yeah, I almost came yesterday. >> Oh, yeah. >> The line scared me a little.

>> Yeah, that happens. >> All right, your wrap's ready. >> Oh, wow. That was fast.

>> Yeah, we try to move fast during lunch. >> Makes sense. Wow, this smells really good.

>> Careful with the sauce at first. >> Ah, now you warn me. >> Little late for that.

Fair enough. >> Enjoy your lunch. >> Thanks. I'll probably be back.

>> Sounds good. >> Waiting out the rain. Ooh. Uh, is this seat free?

>> Yeah, go ahead. >> Thanks. Wow, it's really raining now. >> Seriously, it got so heavy all of a

sudden. >> Yeah, I was 2 minutes from the station when it started.

>> Same here. I almost started running. >> Honestly, everybody had the same idea. >> Yeah, this place got crowded really

fast. >> I walked around for like 5 minutes before I found this seat.

>> Oh, really? I got lucky then. >> Yeah, you did. >> I think half the city is hiding from the

rain in here. >> Probably. >> At least it smells nice in here.

>> Yeah, coffee shops feel better when it rains. >> Oh, definitely. Did you order already?

>> Uh, just tea for now. I still can't decide what to eat. >> H the chicken sandwich is pretty good.

>> Really? >> Yeah. And it's not too heavy. >> Oh, okay. Maybe I'll try it then.

>> Unless you really hate tomatoes. >> M I always take them out. >> Yeah, that sounds like hate to me.

>> Hey, I said I don't hate them. >> Sure. Okay, maybe a little. >> So, were you going home?

>> Actually, no. I was meeting a friend nearby. >> Ah, and now

>> she texted me a few minutes ago. She's stuck in traffic. >> Uh, rainy day traffic is the worst.

>> Seriously? >> Well, at least you found a warm place to wait.

>> Yeah, true. >> I came here after work. I just wanted a quiet place to read. Uh, bad timing.

>> Yeah, a little. >> Nobody's leaving until the rain stops. >> Honestly, we might be here all night.

>> Oh, no. Then I'll need another tea. >> And maybe that sandwich, too. >> Wow. Now you sound like you work here.

>> Maybe I do. >> Wait, really? >> No.

>> Oh, wow. Okay, that was actually good. missed the bus to the beach. Excuse me. Does the beach bus still stop

here? >> Uh, yeah, but I think you just missed it.

>> Oh, no. Really? >> Yeah, it left like 2 minutes ago. >> Wow, that is terrible timing.

>> Honestly, yeah. >> Do you know when the next one comes? >> Maybe in 20 minutes.

>> H, that is kind of long. Are you in a hurry? >> Kind of. I wanted to get there before it

gets crowded. >> Ah, yeah. The beach gets really busy after lunch.

>> That is what my hotel receptionist said, too. >> Then honestly, you should probably walk.

>> Really? Is it close? >> Oh, yeah. Maybe 15 or 20 minutes from here.

>> H Okay, that actually sounds better than waiting. >> And it is a nice walk today. Yeah, true.

I do not want to stand here doing nothing. >> Fair enough.

>> So, how do I get there? >> Go straight past the pharmacy. >> Okay.

>> Then turn left at the second traffic light. >> Left at the second light. Got it.

>> After that, you'll see a big park. >> Oh. Do I walk through it? >> Yeah, just follow the path through the

middle. Okay, that sounds easy enough. >> And honestly, it's prettier than the bus ride anyway.

>> Oh, really? >> Yeah. You can see the ocean near the end of the walk.

>> Oh, wow. Okay, now I definitely want to walk. >> See, much better.

>> Oh, and I brought my headphones, too. >> Perfect beach mood. >> Exactly.

>> Oh, and there's a small coffee shop near the sand. >> Really?

>> Yeah. Their iced coffee is seriously good. >> Okay, now I am definitely going there.

>> You'll probably love it. >> Honestly, this trip already sounds better now.

>> See, missing the bus wasn't that bad. >> Yeah, maybe not. >> Well, enjoy the beach.

>> Thanks, and thanks for helping me. >> No problem at all. >> All right, beach time.

>> Have a good day. >> You, too. Wrong line at passport control.

>> Next, please. >> Hi. Um, is this the right line for visitors?

>> Oh, actually, no. This line is for local citizens. >> Oh, no. Really?

>> Yeah. But do not worry, that happened. >> I was standing there for like 15 minutes.

>> Ah, that is rough. Seriously, >> where are you arriving from? >> From Canada.

>> Long flight. >> Very long. I barely slept. >> Yeah, long flights can be exhausting.

>> Yeah, I feel half asleep right now. >> All right, you need the visitor line instead.

>> Okay, where is it? >> See the blue sign over there? >> Oh, near the coffee shop. Yes, that one.

>> Ah, okay. >> Do you already have your arrival form ready?

>> Uh, I think so. >> Let me check really quick >> here.

>> H, your hotel address is missing. >> Seriously? >> Yeah, but everything else looks good.

>> I knew I forgot something. >> It's okay. You can write it here. >> All right. Done. Perfect.

>> Thanks for helping me. >> No problem. >> All right, I should go to the correct

line now. >> Yeah, probably best >> before I make another mistake.

>> Good idea. >> Thanks again. >> You're welcome. Enjoy your trip.

>> Thank you. Have a nice day. >> You too. Changing a flight date.

Hi, I need some help with my flight booking. >> Of course. What can I help you with

today? >> Uh, I need to change my flight date. >> Okay. Can I have your booking number,

please? >> Yeah, sure. It's BK4729. >> Thank you. And can you confirm your full

name? >> Yes, it's Michael Turner. >> Great. One moment while I check your

reservation. >> No problem. >> All right, Mr. Turner. I found your

flight to Toronto this Friday. >> Yeah, that's the one. >> What date would you like to change it

to? >> I'd like to fly next Monday instead. >> Okay, let me check the available

flights. >> Oh, I really hope there are still seats left.

>> Let's see. >> Thanks. My schedule changed at the last minute.

>> Uh, yeah, that happens sometimes. >> It's been a pretty stressful day. >> Oh, good news. We still have a few seats

left Monday morning. >> Oh, really? >> Yes. The flight leaves at 9:15 a.m.

>> Okay. Yeah, that time works for me. >> Perfect. >> Uh, is there a fee for changing the

ticket? >> Yeah, there is. It's a $40 change fee. >> Ah, okay. That's not too bad.

>> Would you like me to confirm the change? >> Yes, please. >> All right. I'm updating your booking

now. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Everything is confirmed.

>> Oh, wow. That was quicker than I expected. >> Yeah, not too bad today.

>> I'm glad to hear that. >> You'll receive a confirmation email shortly.

>> Perfect. I'll check it later. >> Please review the new flight details carefully.

>> Yes, I will. >> Is there anything else I can help you with?

>> Actually, yeah. Does my checked bag stay included? >> Yes. Your baggage allowance stays the

same. >> Oh, good. I was a little worried about that.

>> Yeah, no problem. >> All right. Thanks again for your help today.

>> You're very welcome, Mr. Turner. Have a great day. >> You too. Safe travels.

First time using selfch checkout. Um, excuse me. Is this selfch checkout machine working?

>> Yeah, it is. Are you having trouble with it? >> A little. I've never used one before.

>> Oh, don't worry. It's actually pretty easy. >> I hope so.

>> First, just scan your items one by one. Okay. Like this? >> Yep. Hold the barcode under the scanner.

>> It worked. >> See, you're already doing fine. >> Okay. Yeah, that was easier than I

expected. >> Most people feel nervous the first time. >> Yeah, I was scared I might break

something. >> You'd have to try pretty hard for that. >> Good to know.

>> After you scan something, put it in the bagging area. >> Right here. Exactly.

>> What happens if I forget? >> Oh, the machine starts beeping really loudly.

>> That sounds embarrassing. >> Yeah, it happens sometimes. >> Okay, that actually makes me feel

better. >> Are you paying with cash or card today? >> Card.

>> Nice. Then you just tap your card at the end. >> Oh, okay. That sounds simple enough.

>> Yeah, just don't scan things too quickly. >> Why not? Sometimes the machine gets

confused. >> Honestly, same. >> Fair enough.

>> What about fruits and vegetables? >> Ah, those are a little different. >> Uh-oh.

>> You need to search for them on the screen first. >> Oh, okay.

>> Then the machine weighs them automatically. >> Impressive. Okay, that's actually pretty

cool. >> Yeah, technology is kind of crazy sometimes.

>> Sometimes. >> True. Oh no. I think I scanned this drink twice.

>> Let me see. >> Yeah, it says two bottles. >> No problem. Just press remove item.

>> Oh, wow. That's easy. >> See, you're doing fine. >> Thanks for helping me.

>> Of course. >> I feel way less nervous now. >> Next time you'll probably be faster than

me. >> Okay, let's not get crazy. Buying a desk lamp for a new apartment.

Hi, I'm looking for a desk lamp for my apartment. >> Sure. Do you want something small or

mediumsized? >> M probably mediumsized. >> Okay. Is it for studying or just general

use? >> Mostly for studying at night. >> Ah, then you'll probably want a brighter

light. Yeah, my current lamp is way too dark. >> Oh no, that gets annoying really fast.

>> Seriously, my eyes feel tired after like an hour. >> Yeah, I get that.

>> Do you have any lamps with adjustable brightness? >> Yep. This one here has three brightness

levels. >> Oh, nice. >> And you can move the neck up and down,

too. Okay, that already sounds smarter than my old lamp. >> Probably.

>> Can I test it? >> Of course. Just press this button. >> Oh, wow. Impressed. That's much

brighter. >> Better, right? >> Definitely.

>> It also has a warmer light setting for evenings. >> Oh, I like that. White light feels too

strong sometimes. >> Yeah, a lot of people say that. How much is this one?

>> It's $45. >> H. Honestly, that's not too bad. >> And it saves electricity, too.

>> Nice. >> The bulb also lasts pretty long. >> Good. I hate changing light bulbs.

>> Yeah, same. >> Does it come in other colors? >> Yep. Black, white, and silver.

>> H I think black would look best in my room. Good choice. >> Do I need to build anything at home?

>> Just the base. It only takes a few minutes. >> Oh, good. I'm terrible with tools.

>> Don't worry. This one's really simple. >> All right. Yeah, I'll take it. >> Perfect. Would you like a bag?

>> Yes, please. >> All right. I'll get one for you now. >> Thanks for helping me choose.

>> You're very welcome. I hope you enjoy the lamp. The first deep dish recommendation.

Hi, can I get a coffee, please? >> Yeah, sure. What would you like? >> Just a small latte,

>> of course. Anything to eat? >> H maybe later. I'm still thinking about lunch.

>> Ah, okay. >> Everyone keeps telling me to try deep dish pizza here.

Yeah, people talk about it a lot in Chicago. >> Is it actually good or just famous?

>> Honestly, both. >> Oh no, that already sounds dangerous. >> The first slice feels normal. The second

one is the problem. >> Good to know. >> First time in the city.

>> Yeah, I got here yesterday evening. Oh, then you picked a really cold week to visit.

>> I noticed that immediately. The wind here is serious. >> Yeah, people realize that pretty fast.

>> I thought my jacket was warm enough. >> And now, >> now I understand why everybody walks so

fast here. >> Winter teaches people quickly. >> So, where should I try the pizza?

There's a place about two blocks from here. >> Is it super touristy?

>> Um, a little, but honestly, it's still really good. >> That's fine. I'm basically a tourist

this week anyway. >> Fair enough. >> Do people here actually eat deep dish a

lot? >> Not all the time. Usually more on weekends.

>> Ah, okay. That makes sense. Maybe I should walk around first then. Yeah, probably a smart idea.

>> Coffee now, pizza later. >> Sounds like a solid plan. >> All right, your latte's ready.

>> Thanks. Oh, wow. That smells really good. >> Careful. The cup's hot.

>> Got it. >> Enjoy Chicago. >> Thanks. I think I already am.

>> Good. Have a nice morning. >> You, too. The first Chicago pizza.

Hi. Just one table, please. >> Yeah, of course. Right this way. >> Thanks.

>> Here's the menu. >> Thanks. Oh, wow. These pizzas are huge. >> Yeah, deep dish is bigger than most

people expect. >> People kept warning me about that today, honestly.

>> And now you finally see it. Yeah. >> Thinking about trying it? >> Yeah, I feel like I kind of have to.

>> Then you came to the right place. Small or large? >> Um, definitely small.

>> Probably a good start. >> How long does it take? >> Around 30 minutes.

>> 30? >> Yeah, it takes longer to bake. >> Oh, okay. Good thing I'm not in a hurry

then. What toppings would you like? >> H, what's popular? >> Sausage is really popular here.

>> All right, let's do that. >> Perfect. Anything to drink? >> Just water for now.

>> Okay. All right. One small deep dish with sausage. >> Sounds good.

>> I'll put that in now. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Here it is. Careful. The pan's

really hot. >> Oh, wow. That is way taller than I expected.

>> Yeah, photos really don't explain it well. >> This feels more serious than normal

pizza. >> That's fair. >> Um Oh, wow.
