こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今回も、飲食店、レストランなどでのオーダー方法についてはなしますね。

店員さんとのやりとりのイメージを話します。


何名さまですか？
ー2人です。

こちらにお座りください
ーありがとうございます。

メニューを渡してくれます。
今日のオススメはーです。
のちほどおうかがいします。
と言って、店員さんは席を離れます。

オーダーが決まったら、店員さんを呼びます。
店員さんと目があったら手をあげると来てくれます。
少人数で働いている店がほとんどだと思います。
もしかしたら、気づいてもらえないかもしれません。

そういった時は、店員さんを呼ばないといけないかもしれません。その時は、
すみません。
すみません、注文良いですか。
すみません、注文お願いします。
など言ってください。ちょうど聞こえるぐらいの大きさが良いですね。大きすぎても良くないので。

気づいてくれたら、席に来てくれます。
そこから注文をします。

ーを1つと、ーを1つと、ーを1つください。
以上です。
といいます。

だいたいのお店では注文の確認があります。
オーダーがちゃんと通っているか、復唱して確認することが多いです。
店によっていろいろ聞かれることがあります。
例えばラーメン屋では、麺のかたさはどうしますか？とか、
カレー屋さんでは、辛さはどうしますか？とか、
コーヒーに砂糖、ミルクはいれますか？とか、
お飲み物はいつおもちしますか？など。

かためでお願いします。
2でお願いします。
あ、いらないです。
食後で/一緒にお願いします。

などと言います。
これでオーダーは完璧です！

最近はコロナの影響があって、
食券を買う店があったり、
モバイルオーダーがあったり、
席でタブレットでオーダーしたり、
いろんなオーダー方法があります。

小さい店や昔からある店は、会計方法が現金だけしかない店もありますので、入る前に確認したほうがいいかもしれないですね。

ということで、今回はここまでです。
最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！

Teacher Joseph's Podcast

UK Supermarket Employees to get Bodycams (with transcript)

Kapımı çalıp durma ölüm,
Açmam;
Ben ölecek adam değilim.

Alıştım bir kere gökyüzüne;
Bunca yıllık yoldaşımdır bulutlar.
Sıkılırım,
Kuşlar cıvıldamasa dallarında,
Yemişlerine doymadığım ağaçların,
Yağmur mu yağıyor,
Güneş mi var,
Farketmeliyim
Baktığım pencereden.
Deniz görünmeli çıksam balkona.
Tamamlamalı manzarayı
Karlı dağlarla sürülmüş tarlalar.
Ekmekten olamam doğrusu,
Nimet bildiğim;
Sudan geçemem,
Tuzludur teneffüs ettiğim hava.
Ya nasıl dururum olduğum yerde,
Öyle upuzun yatmış,
İki elim yanıma getirilmiş,
Hareketsiz,
Sükûta râmolmuş;
Sanki devrilmiş bir heykel?

Ellerim ne der sonra bana?
Soğumuş kalbime ne cevap veririm?
Utanmaz mıyım ayaklarımdan?

Kalkmalıyım,
Dolaşmalıyım,
Sokaklarda, parklarda.
El sallamalıyım
Giden trenlere,
Kalkan vapurlara.
Bilmeliyim,
Gölgelerin boyundan,
Saatin kaç olduğunu...
Islık çalmalıyım.
Türkü söylemeliyim
Yol boyunca,
Keyfimden ya hüznümden.
Geçmiş günleri hatırlamalıyım,
Dalıp dalıp akarsuya,
Hayaller kurmalıyım,
Güzel geleceğe dair.
Yanımdan geçenler olmalı,
Selâm almalıyım;
Robenson'u düşünmeliyim,
Garipliğini:
Şükretmeliyim
İnsanlar arasında olduğuma.
Nedir ki eninde sonunda ölüm?
Ayrı düşmek değil mi aşinalardan?

Kapımı çalıp durma ölüm,
Açmam;
Ben ölecek adam değilim.

Covered with pins and adornments, Vivianne Robinson is hard to miss in the streets of Paris.

The Olympics superfan has attended seven Summer Games over 40 years. But this trip to Paris came at a cost of $10,000.

Robinson, 66 and from Los Angeles, maxed out her credit cards and worked two jobs to afford the trip and the 38 event tickets she bought. And she has to work two more years to make up the money she spent.

"It was hard to save up and it's a big budget, but it's a thousand times worth it," she says.

Robinson's fascination with the Olympics started when her mother worked as a translator for athletes during the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Her mother would come home after work with pins from athletes that she gave to her daughter.

Her hobby of collecting pins led her to Atlanta 1996, where she made rice necklaces for athletes in exchange for their pins.

"I got all the pins and I got to meet all the athletes. And in those days, it wasn't high security like now," she said. "Now you can't even get near the athletes' village."

From there: Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, London 2012 and Rio 2016. She got a visa for Beijing 2008, but couldn't afford the trip. It was similar for Tokyo: she bought tickets, but got refunded as COVID-19 soared and the Games were held without spectators.

Robinson's outfits started simply but have become more complex over time. She spent a year working on her Paris outfit, which has hundreds of adornments. People often stop her in the street, asking for a photo.

As soon as these Olympics end, she will start working on the next Summer Games — which will be in her hometown in Los Angeles.

"I'm going to do it forever," she said. "I'm going to save all my money and just concentrate on Olympics."
