Meaning of "neat" in conversation.
When I was reading a dialog for English learner I noticed an incomprehensible usage of word "neat". Here is a section of dialog:
...
B: Big John called and he's late too.
A: Oh! Good! That means I can drive a bit slower and be safe. What a relief!
B: When he called, Big John mentioned he's in need of a new assistant manager. Wouldn't that be *neat*?
A: Are you being sarcastic?
...
Big John is A and B's boss in dialog. I know neat has the similar meaning as tidy or clean, but what does B want to describe here?
Thanks.

What is the polite way to say that I have been helped in shop?
Let's say I am in a shop, an assistant helped me, then he/she went away for other stuffs, maybe he/she was checking the inventory for me, or maybe I don't have any further questions and I just want to look around. Then another assistant come to me and ask if I need help. Most of time in I just say "No thank you." But I think there should be a more polite way to say that some one else already helped me, I am just waiting for him/her or I don't need further help. So in this kind of situation what should I say?

Question when ordering taco bell.
Hello guys. I am a English learner. Yesterday I went to Taco Bell to order my lunch. I ordered a crunchwrap and then said I'd like to change "beef" to "steak", then the clerk asked me a question but I totally could not catch what her said, she repeated twice but I still don't understand, then she said "you want 1 dollar or what else" or something like that, I answered 1 dollar. Then we done. Eventually I found they charged me $1.2 to change my "beef" to "steak" in crunchwrap. My question is, what probably did she ask? and usually, what the clerk will say when I am trying to custom your food? Thanks.
