She'd really help out more.

I don't think you want Lainey seeing you like that.

No. I'm a waiter, not a busser.

If she wants me to clean cups, she's got to pay me more.

Waiters make more than bussers.

You do know you're already getting paid more, right?

Sam, thank you so much for helping out with that.

James, try not to work too hard.

I'll try not to.

We just had a big table come in, so could one of you guys help with that, please?

Uh, sure.

Yeah, no problem.

Sam, why don't you go take care of that?

I would have thought you would want to help, James.

There's probably a big tip involved.

Well, maybe if we didn't have to split our tips, I would be very motivated.

But since we pool them, it doesn't really matter, does it?

Ah, that reminds me.

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.

Really?

Yeah.

Also, they are moving me to the downtown location, so the manager position here is going to be open,

and the new owner is coming in today to decide who gets it.

Mm-hmm.

That sounds like a lot more responsibility without any pay.

So no thank you.

I'll pay six figures.

Okay, say less.

I will take care of that table.

Sam.

Yep?

Make sure you clean those glasses really well.

I see you leaving spots.

You're not my boss. Yet.

But I will be soon.

And I would hate to have to fire you, buddy.

So do better.

All right.

Hello everyone.

My name is James and I'll be assisting you today.

So are we celebrating anything special?

Yes, we are.

The company just got acquired.

Quiet.

Oh.

Well, congratulations.

You must be in a really big celebratory and dipping kind of mood.

That's expensive.

What are you...

Yeah, I didn't ask.

Shh.

I'll tell you what.

A bottle of wine on the house.

Oh, that's so nice of you.

It is the least I could do.

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.

It's about thirty dollars an ounce, but I suppose that won't be a problem for you flying folks.

Uh, sorry to interrupt, but I just sat him in your section.

Uh, wait, um, have Sam cover him.

Thanks.

Sam's in the back, helping with everything else.

I don't care, I'm not gonna help someone who looks like him.

I've gotta get to the front.

You can tell Sam.

Well, I'm sorry folks, but I'm going to have to step away for a moment.

So why don't you look over the menus.

I'll be back to take your orders and I'll have some free bread brought out for you.

Okay.

Enjoy.

Oh, hey.

I was just coming to find you.

I need you to take that table over there.

Thanks, bye.

He's in your section, okay?

And I'm busy.

I'm helping out in the back.

Yeah, but I just told you to help him.

Okay, dude, it's only one table.

What's the big deal?

Do I spell everything out for you?

Clearly that guy has no money.

I mean, just look at him.

His clothes.

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.

Wow.

Really, James?

Yeah.

You shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

That's cute.

You're trying to give me advice, when you obviously know nothing.

No wonder you're gonna be working for me someday.

Now, I'm gonna go take care of customers that actually have money.

I need you to hurry it up.

Oh boy.

Hey, sorry for the wait.

Can I get you started with anything to drink?

Um, it's no problem.

Can I get a water though?

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.

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.
