Answer Key forWeek 1: Who's That Guy?

Step 1: Pre-Video Listening Exercise Transcript

Have you ever wondered who someone was? Maybe you were at a party, in abar or even just on the bus.

You might have recognized the person from somewhere. Their face mighthave seemed familiar or maybe your have heard their voice before. Whatwould you do if you recognized someone on the bus? Would you go over tothem and say hi or would you slump down in your chair, look out the window

and try not to be seen? Maybe it just depends on who it is.

In Jerrys case he was not recognized at all he was a total stranger- and to behonest the waitress was not very friendly or good at her job.

What would you do if you went into a bar and someone asked another personin the bar quite loudly, whos that? I would probably do what Jerry didfeeluncomfortable but stay in the bar and order something.

Isnt it funny how we choose to suffer social awkwardness rather than just

leave? I mean, Jerry could have left the bar and gone to a different place toeat, but he decided to stick it out there. What would you have done?

Pre-Video Listening Exercise Answers

1) You might recognize someone in a party, on the bus or in a bar.

2) To slump down

3) I think he went into a bar because he is interacting with a waitress andthe audio refers to a bar later on. It could also have been a restaurant.

4) To stick it (something) out. Ex: The party was extremely boring but Istuck it out for 2 hours but at 1am I was exhausted and went home tosleep.

5) I dont know about you, but I (Diana) would not. I only tip people whenthey provide excellent service. Why should I give someone extra moneyfor being rude, slow or unfriendly?

looked painful.

though. It must be all those junk food places like, Dunkin Donuts and Burger

King that are on the way home from the gym. Two weeks ago Jerry stopped at

a place called Henneseys Grill for the first time since it changed into a bar.

When he first went in, he stopped to look around. So much had changed since

he had last been there, especially since there was now a big bar in the middle

of the room and a popcorn machine in the corner.

Jerry went over to help himself to some popcorn, which he assumed was

complementary, but as he did the bartender and manager started talking and

thats when the bartender pointed over at him and said quite loudly, Whos

that guy?

How rude can you get? I cant believe that the bartender would say something

like that to Jerry, especially since he is a potential customer. Anyways, the

manager went over to Jerry and Jerry explained that he hadnt been in the



22/23


place since it reopened and he didnt know that he couldnt help himself to

popcorn.

The manager said it was ok and invited him to sit down and order something,

but I would like to know what happened to the popcorn. Did Jerry eat it or did

he put it back in the machine? Anyways, he sat down at the bar and the

bartender immediately came over and said, quite abruptly, Ok, whatll ya

have?

Jerry didnt want a drink before his meal so he just asked for a minute to look

over the menu and while looking over the menu a group of guys came into the

bar.

Now, even though Jerry ordered before them, that group of guys ended up

receiving their food before Jerry, which made him a bit mad, which I can

understand. The waitress didnt seem too interested in serving him that day at

all.

To make matters worse when his food finally did arrive, 30 minutes later, he

didnt get the right order. The steak sandwich was right but he got fries

instead of mashed potatoes, cornbread and a cucumber salad.

Jerry asked her to check with the kitchen to see what was happening with his

side orders and she eventually brought them out, but still no corn bread. By

then he was getting pretty annoyed so he just said to forget about the bread.

Then he ordered a beer but the waitress gave him his tab instead. Talk about

bad service and it turned out to be a dollar more than he thought it would be.

The sandwich was $8.50 instead of $7.50. When he asked her why it was a

dollar more she said that it was a dollar for grilled onions in the sandwich.

Way to say that in the beginning lady.



23/23


In the end Jerry asked if he could get the fries packed up to go, which

surprised the waitress as he hadnt ordered them in the first place but she did

it anyway.

Then Jerry had to figure out how much to tip her, which was hard because the

waitress was rude, kept trying to rush him and didnt give him what he

ordered. In the end he gave her 2 bucks and wasnt sure if that was fair but

he didnt care too much because she had been so rude about the popcorn. Not

to mention that fact that Jerry would not be returning to that bar again in the

future.
