2
Morning bro, you're lucky, the chef is still doing administration.
3
Did you already see him?
4
Yes, he is not having a good day.
5
Nice, that's going to be a horrible day for us too then.
6
Please let this be a good day.
7
Damn, the knife is missing.
8
Let's get one.
9
Did you even call behind when you walked past me?
10
You already saw me, right?
11
That's not the point, Wojak.
12
We have systems.
13
I don't care.
14
It is not busy yet.
15
That doesn't mean the rules don't apply.
16
Ruben, please.
17
This job is already draining enough.
18
Keep your mouth shut unless it's important.
19
Two burgers for table 5, steak for table 12, heard.
20
Heard.
21
Three salads for table 7 and one pizza pineapple for table 13.
22
Heard.
23
Everybody drop your stuff now.
24
Table 7 is vegan and gluten free.
25
Can we do that?
26
What is that for a question?
27
Hey don't be a jerk Jimmy!
28
Shut up Ruben!
29
Well?
30
You seriously want an answer to that?
31
Yes.
32
Tell Table 7 to f* off!
33
I suppose that's a yes.
34
Yes.
35
I'm not happy with this.
36
Wojak, Table 8 is not happy with their food.
37
What's wrong with- They didn't order this.
38
Why do you come to me?
39
I don't know.
40
I'm also new here.
41
Guys, who made this? made this.
42
Alright.
43
What exactly did table 8 order?
44
The steak with red sauce.
45
This is literally the steak with red sauce.
46
I'll check with them.
47
Okay, so hear me out.
48
Yes?
49
They ordered the steak with red sauce but this is brown sauce.
50
This is a joke right?
51
Number?
52
They expected red sauce.
53
What hex code red did they expect?
54
Obviously the sauce is not actually red.
55
Well they want red sauce?
56
What in the OCD is this discussion?
57
I'll throw ketchup on it if that makes them happy.
58
Here they go.
59
Send them my apologies What the bloody hell is going on here?
60
Is this a donkey shed?
61
What are we all waiting for?
62
My retirement?
63
Get back to work right now.
64
We have a restaurant to run you all.
65
What's this supposed to be?
66
Chicken breast.
67
Not good enough.
68
What on earth is this?
69
You think people will eat this?
70
Hello chef.
71
I am making pasta.
72
I don't need to hear it.
73
Ruben, continue working.
74
Why is there ketchup here?
75
I don't know.
76
Don't lie to me.
77
I know you like to eat that when nobody's watching.
78
Remember everybody.
79
We are a restaurant.
80
As soon as they walk in these doors, our customers suddenly think they are the most important person in the whole universe.
81
We must live up to this fantasy of them and deliver the best possible service.
82
Leave your ego outside of the kitchen and treat them like the king.
83
Mocking and whining only happens inside your head or at the smoking break.
84
Lunch rush is over, shall we do a quick smoke?
85
Yeah sure.
86
I seriously got a customer asking if we serve our chicken sticks without chicken and put carrots on it instead.
87
Bro, it's not on the menu for a reason.
88
That stuff always happens during rush hours too.
89
Like, do they even know how much those custom orders slow us down if we have to make them on the fly?
90
And then they try to compensate by giving us a 3% tip.
91
You mean the waiter?
92
We barely get anything from the tips.
93
Table 8 sent back their steak again.
94
Said the red sauce was not red enough.
95
I heard, but the manager comped it.
96
Let it go, bro.
97
I know, but it's like they think our suffering doesn't matter.
98
Our suffering doesn't matter though.
99
Where did you come from?
100
Were you standing here the whole time?
101
Yes.
102
Now 86 your smoke skies.
103
It's time to go back to work.
104
Everybody listen.
105
We survived another night.
106
I am proud of what we've achieved today and now that the last guests have left, it's time for a good family meal.
107
I think you get better food in prison.
108
If you're not happy with it you can leave the kitchen.
109
Don't disrespect me like that.
110
Now eat everybody.
111
Whoa Jack, how are you doing?
112
I survived.
113
Yeah.
114
I wanted to talk to you about the steak with red sauce this afternoon.
115
I heard you comped it.
116
I did indeed.
117
The customer was tough and it wasn't worth it.
118
I understand, thank you.
119
Now to compensate, I'd like you to do some dishwashing.
120
Jerry is sick and we need the hands.
121
What?
122
I saved you today.
123
Now you can do something for me.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
