I never leave comments on youtube but I want to thank you so much for making videos like this! So practical and helpful to learn how to handle everyday situations in a natural way that I haven't found with other creators. And I love that you recorded an authentic conversation. Amazing work! ありがとうございます！ (:
I’m honored to be the first one for you to leave a comment on UA-cam. I’m preparing another video where I’m buying things at a convenience store. I hope you’ll like it. Thank you for your comment! ありがとうございました😊
I live in Japan and I am trying to learn more Japanese. I watched two minutes of your video, paused it, and subscribed. I like your style, how you explain things, and is easy to understand. Thank you for your content and I look forward to watching more of your videos.
In American restaurants, we can pay either 1) at the cash register, or 2) have the waitress/waiter take our payment, using a credit card or cash. If we pay with cash we'll receive the change and then we'll leave a tip. ( Sometimes, we might say "keep the change", which would be the tip). If we pay with the credit card, there is a line on the credit card receipt for a tip, and you would fill in the amount. Waiters and waitresses depend on tips to make their living, as the minimum wage would not be enough. In high-end restaurants, you can make very good money, but the restaurant has to be busy.
I see. Japanese waiters and waitresses don’t make good money and they don’t get tips. Too bad for them. Japan used be an expensive country for foreign people to visit, but now it’s cheap for at least people from developed countries to travel around Japan. Thank you for your comment!
@@SpeakJapaneseNaturally Also, we don't generally tip for take-out orders, or for fast food, but some places have small tip cups/jars near the cash register, so you can leave some money there. During COVID times, many people tip for take-out orders to help support waitresses, who don't have many customers who are dining in. Although some do waitress as a full-time occupation, many do it as high-school or college students, to pay for an apartment or for basic living expenses. The problems with waitressing usually involve the lack of employment benefits, especially health insurance, although young people can be kept on their parents' insurance until they are 26 now.. Good website!
Thank you for the information. I learned a lot! In Japan, a person can be included their parent’s or their spouse’s or their child’s health insurance system no matter how old they are. People are usually covered with this system. That’s one good thing about Japanese government.
@@SpeakJapaneseNaturally Also, in the US, eating at a sushi restaurant is considered to be more of a "fine-dining" experience, so it's more expensive, and a waitress could make quite a bit of money ( many will tip more than 20%, too). An old-fashioned American diner, serving hamburgers/fries/pancakes/bacon/sausage/sandwiches, etc, can be a money-maker for a waitress, but the bills are smaller, and so are the tips, so it has to be a high-volume business (get the customers in, serve them, and get them out, to seat more customers). The money can be good, too, but you'll work pretty hard, too. And if you're really good, and friendly, you might develop regular customers who might even ask for you, by name, when they arrive..
This also good and useful for someone who is curious to know about entire Japanese's flow.(?sensei i don't know exact expression so understandable please) As someone who has in the future native tongue related task in eng, why started viewing Japanese was to 👈enhance the tasks and to win trap experiencing now(don stress out sensei😂) and to keep money and mine and more. But mmm like i said before feeling attraction and wish being good a decade later.
え-と is like 'Ummm' in English, or Aaa/ano in Filipino, both are fillers. I think every language has it. The pitch labels are very helpful. ありがとうございます!! P.S. Would it be appropriate to say お疲れ様でした here?
Thank you for your comment! I didn’t know which one would be the best, so I didn’t translate ええと😅 We have あの as a filler too!!😳 お疲れ様でした is fine here too. We use it to someone close enough that you know the person put some effort into it. If you meant to say “Good job,” then it has to be something like, いい動画でした. お疲れ様でした is sometimes translated as “Good job,” so I wanted to make it sure.
현금으로 계산하셨군요? 요즘 한국은 8~90%는 카드로 결제하는거 같습니다. 점점 현금을 사용하지 않고 있어요.일본도 요즘은 많이 바뀌었겠지요? 영상 잘 보았습니다😊 現金でお会計されたんですね？ 最近韓国は8~90%はカードで決済するようです。 だんだん現金を使っていません。日本も最近はだいぶ変わったんでしょうね？ 映像ありがとうございました😂 You paid in cash, didn' I think 8~90% of people pay by credit card in Korea these days. I'm not using cash anymore.Japan has changed a lot these days, right? Thank you for the video😊 230418

Thank you for the comment, and I'm so happy that you subscribed to my channel. I'll make more videos. I hope you'll enjoy them😄
Thank you for this video. I can never really understand every time what the cashier says , when he/she receives the money and so on. Much appreciated
Great!! Glad to hear that 😊

More than 20%!!
That’s a lot!
I didn’t know that you can name a waiter or waitress to serve for you.
Anyway waiting tables is a hard job.
I like this kind of video! Would be able to do the same at a combini ? I know sometimes they use slightly different phrases ? Thanks!
Could you wait a month or two?
I’ll definitely do that!
Thanks for the suggestion😁
@@SpeakJapaneseNaturally sure! It's not like I can go to Japan now anyway sadly 😂

wow, he spoke so fast. I'd have to use すみません、ゆっくり話してお願いします／もい一同お願いします a lot. :3
Right…, but maybe you can guess what a cashiers are saying because they don’t say something extraordinary 😁
