1
She'd really help out more.
2
I don't think you want Lainey seeing you like that.
3
No. I'm a waiter, not a busser.
4
If she wants me to clean cups, she's got to pay me more.
5
Waiters make more than bussers.
6
You do know you're already getting paid more, right?
7
Sam, thank you so much for helping out with that.
8
James, try not to work too hard.
9
I'll try not to.
10
We just had a big table come in, so could one of you guys help with that, please?
11
Uh, sure.
12
Yeah, no problem.
13
Sam, why don't you go take care of that?
14
I would have thought you would want to help, James.
15
There's probably a big tip involved.
16
Well, maybe if we didn't have to split our tips, I would be very motivated.
17
But since we pool them, it doesn't really matter, does it?
18
Ah, that reminds me.
19
The new owner wants to do away with the shared tipping system, so everyone will be able to keep 100% of their tips from now on.
20
Really?
21
Yeah.
22
Also, they are moving me to the downtown location, so the manager position here is going to be open,
23
and the new owner is coming in today to decide who gets it.
24
Mm-hmm.
25
That sounds like a lot more responsibility without any pay.
26
So no thank you.
27
I'll pay six figures.
28
Okay, say less.
29
I will take care of that table.
30
Sam.
31
Yep?
32
Make sure you clean those glasses really well.
33
I see you leaving spots.
34
You're not my boss. Yet.
35
But I will be soon.
36
And I would hate to have to fire you, buddy.
37
So do better.
38
All right.
39
Hello everyone.
40
My name is James and I'll be assisting you today.
41
So are we celebrating anything special?
42
Yes, we are.
43
The company just got acquired.
44
Quiet.
45
Oh.
46
Well, congratulations.
47
You must be in a really big celebratory and dipping kind of mood.
48
That's expensive.
49
What are you...
50
Yeah, I didn't ask.
51
Shh.
52
I'll tell you what.
53
A bottle of wine on the house.
54
Oh, that's so nice of you.
55
It is the least I could do.
56
Now, if you've gotten a chance to look over the menus, we have a Japanese Wagyu that is so tender you can cut it with a fork.
57
It's about thirty dollars an ounce, but I suppose that won't be a problem for you flying folks.
58
Uh, sorry to interrupt, but I just sat him in your section.
59
Uh, wait, um, have Sam cover him.
60
Thanks.
61
Sam's in the back, helping with everything else.
62
I don't care, I'm not gonna help someone who looks like him.
63
I've gotta get to the front.
64
You can tell Sam.
65
Well, I'm sorry folks, but I'm going to have to step away for a moment.
66
So why don't you look over the menus.
67
I'll be back to take your orders and I'll have some free bread brought out for you.
68
Okay.
69
Enjoy.
70
Oh, hey.
71
I was just coming to find you.
72
I need you to take that table over there.
73
Thanks, bye.
74
He's in your section, okay?
75
And I'm busy.
76
I'm helping out in the back.
77
Yeah, but I just told you to help him.
78
Okay, dude, it's only one table.
79
What's the big deal?
80
Do I spell everything out for you?
81
Clearly that guy has no money.
82
I mean, just look at him.
83
His clothes.
84
Okay, and now that we're not splitting tips, I don't want to waste my time on people who are just going to order water and free bread all night.
85
Wow.
86
Really, James?
87
Yeah.
88
You shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
89
That's cute.
90
You're trying to give me advice, when you obviously know nothing.
91
No wonder you're gonna be working for me someday.
92
Now, I'm gonna go take care of customers that actually have money.
93
I need you to hurry it up.
94
Oh boy.
95
Hey, sorry for the wait.
96
Can I get you started with anything to drink?
97
Um, it's no problem.
98
Can I get a water though?
99
Yes.
100
Do you have any questions with the menu or...?
101
I'm still looking, but can I get some bread in the meantime?
102
Yes.
103
Excellent choice.
104
Great, I will put that right in.
105
In the meantime, enjoy your wine.
106
Thanks.
107
Okay.
108
There's your bread.
109
Yeah, Jax, can I please get some bread too?
110
Thank you.
111
Thanks, man.
112
Okay, I'll be right back.
113
Sure. So... Was I right?
114
Free bread and water?
115
Well, yeah, but I'm sure he's going to order more than that.
116
Keep telling yourself, though, pal.
117
So you just gotta listen to me.
118
See my table over there?
119
They ordered steak, seafood, the whole works.
120
I'm gonna make more tips off them in that one table than you will in a whole week.
121
We'll see about that.
122
Yeah, you know what?
123
Since I'm feeling bad for you, you can have that table over there.
124
I mean, the guy looks like a janitor, but he'll probably order something more than just free bread and water.
125
At least an appetizer.
126
That's kind.
127
Thank you.
128
You're welcome.
129
Okay.
130
Here you go.
131
And you are welcome to tip on the card.
132
Cash is always preferred.
133
No one likes to pay taxes, am I right?
134
Yeah.
135
How are we doing over here?
136
Oh great, thanks.
137
Would you like to order anything or?
138
Not right now, I'm actually waiting on someone.
139
Oh, okay, well perfect.
140
Take your time and let me know. For sure.
141
Thank you.
142
Are you ready for some food?
143
We're actually good with just the appetizer.
144
Oh, of course.
145
Yeah, I'll just leave this here for you then.
146
If you need anything else like water, bread, chips or salsa, let me know, okay?
147
Thank you, you're so sweet.
148
Please, it's my pleasure.
149
Thanks.
150
Okay.
151
Congrats again on the sale of your company, by the way.
152
You must be so proud.
153
If you ever do end up deciding to come back here, I'll probably be managing the place, but I would not mind being your waiter at all.
154
You know, I have no ego when it comes to these things. At all.
155
I just stuck them with the most expensive food that we have.
156
And let me guess, Mr. Free Bread still hasn't ordered anything?
157
Nope.
158
See if he's waiting for someone and then he'll order.
159
Sure he is.
160
Sam, that is the oldest trick in the book.
161
He's just saying that so you stay off his back, and then he's gonna come up and say something like, Hey man, the person I'm waiting for, she's taking too long, so I'm just going to head out.
162
Do I owe you anything?
163
Oh, no, no problem, man.
164
You're all good.
165
Thanks.
166
You sure, man?
167
Can I tip you?
168
No, no, no, no. Seriously.
169
Just promise you'll come back to visit us another day.
170
Oh, of course, man.
171
I definitely will.
172
Okay.
173
Thank you.
174
So, did I call it or did I call it?
175
I still can't believe you didn't take the tip, though.
176
I mean, it's just going to be a couple bucks, but it's still going to be better whenever the couple gives you.
177
Let me guess, they've been ordering appetizers all night.
178
Sam, my boy, see this is why you're never gonna get ahead in life.
179
Because here you are, you're gonna spend all day and get a few lousy dollars, and here I am, racking up a bill of about a thousand dollars.
180
Twenty percent, that's gonna be at least a $200 tip, and I would bet even more.
181
Careful.
182
Everything okay?
183
Oh no no no, it can't be happening.
184
It says a zero dollar tip back.
185
No, that's not right.
186
Thanks again for the great service.
187
Okay, I'll be right back with your change.
188
No, it's okay, you can keep it.
189
It's a hundred dollars.
190
The bill was...
191
No need.
192
You were great.
193
You deserve it.
194
One hundred dollars?
195
but for some chips.
196
How can you afford that?
197
Uh, excuse me.
198
He actually owns his own company and employs over 100 people, so he just has a weirdly modest style.
199
Wow, that's impressive.
200
Not that I thought any less.
201
Thank you, guys, really.
202
No problem.
203
Right.
204
Hey, guys.
205
I think there might be some sort of mistake.
206
I saw on here that you put zero dollars for a tip.
207
Did you mean tipping cash or...?
208
No, that's right. But I don't understand.
209
Why would you not tip?
210
I gave you guys fantastic service.
211
I even gave you free wine.
212
I mean, you guys just sold your company for crying out loud.
213
Well, first off, we're European.
214
We don't believe in tipping.
215
And second, yes, we sold our company.
216
But the only reason we're celebrating is because it was going into bankruptcy.
217
We didn't actually make anything.
218
Oh, and before I forget, could you get us some more bread?
219
Cheapskates, man.
220
What are you laughing at?
221
Nothing.
222
I'm still going to be the manager here, okay?
223
And when I am, you are not...
224
Hey, man.
225
Um, so she did show up, so we actually are going to eat here.
226
Oh, that's great.
227
Hi.
228
I wanted to introduce myself.
229
I'm Sharon.
230
This is who I've been wanting you guys to meet.
231
She's the new owner.
232
Oh.
233
Well, hello Sharon.
234
It is so lovely to meet you.
235
My name is James and if you need anything, please let me know.
236
What if you and your son got a table?
237
I would love to be your waiter.
238
Cut it, James.
239
The hostess already told me how you refused to serve her son because of how he looked.
240
You are unbelievable.
241
But Sam, they did tell me how nice you were and I thank you for that.
242
You're exactly the kind of person I want managing this place.
243
I mean, if you're interested, of course. And...
244
Yes, yes, of course, I would love that.
245
Thank you.
246
Thank you both so much.
247
Great.
248
So, I want you to start as soon as possible, but can we eat first?
249
I'm starving.
250
No problem.
251
I'll be right there to take your order.
252
I did try to warn you.
253
Maybe next time try to listen to my advice and don't judge a book by its cover.
254
Wait, where's my Brit?
255
Better hurry up and get that Brit, James!
256
Oh yeah, and do it quick before I fire you.
257
Oh!
258
Oh!
259
Excellent!
260
Oh, James, here you go.
261
What's this?
262
It's your receipt.
263
I heard you gave away some free wine.
264
Someone's gotta pay for that.
265
Are you serious?
266
Can this day get any worse?
267
Hi, are you James?
268
I am Charlie from the IRS.
269
I'm here to talk to you about some bad things.
270
I am Charlie from the IRS.
271
I'm here to talk to you about some back taxes from unclaimed tips.

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
