S… Speaker 4 (PART 3_TEST 02)

Hi, I recently purchased this vacuum cleaner here, but it turns out this model isn't the one I need for my kind of floors.

0:49

S… Speaker 4 (PART 3_TEST 02)

Could I exchange it for a different model? I have the receipt right here.

0:55

S… Speaker 5 (PART 3_TEST 02)

That's no problem, sir. As long as you have all of the attachments and original packaging, you're allowed to exchange it.

1:03

S… Speaker 5 (PART 3_TEST 02)

However, you will need to cover any difference in the price of the two products if the product you select is more expensive than the one you want to return.

1:13

S… Speaker 4 (PART 3_TEST 02)

Oh, that's fine. In fact, I looked online and found a model that perfectly fits my needs.

1:19

S… Speaker 4 (PART 3_TEST 02)

It's about $30 more, but it has a steam cleaning function.

1:23

S… Speaker 5 (PART 3_TEST 02)

Great. Do you remember the model's serial number? I'll check immediately if it's in stock.

Excuse me. I have a plane ticket for South East Airlines flight 507 to Detroit, but they just announced that the flight has been cancelled. What should I do now?

2:12

S… Speaker 4 (PART 3_TEST 02)

Don't worry. Do you still have your boarding pass? Just take it over to that counter and you'll be given a new boarding pass for the next flight to Detroit.

2:22

S… Speaker 3 (PART 3_TEST 02)

But are you sure my credit card won't be charged for this new ticket? I don't want to pay for it twice.

2:28

S… Speaker 4 (PART 3_TEST 02)

No, we don't charge any money here. Your bill has already been processed by your travel agency.

Good afternoon. I subscribe to your periodical business news weekly.

3:13

S… Speaker 1 (PART 3_TEST 02)

I remember I'm signed up for six months, but since the beginning of April I haven't received any deliveries.

3:20

S… Speaker 3 (PART 3_TEST 02)

Yes, there seems to be a mistake. I can see you've only received one month's worth of magazines.

3:26

S… Speaker 3 (PART 3_TEST 02)

Are you still living at the same address?

3:28

S… Speaker 1 (PART 3_TEST 02)

Yes, but now that you mention it, I did request to have the journals delivered to my office at 339 21st Street.

3:36

S… Speaker 3 (PART 3_TEST 02)

Ah, that seems to be the reason. The address I have listed here is 339 22nd Street.

S… Speaker 4 (PART 3_TEST 02)

Miss Villez, do you know where they keep the original blueprints for this building?

4:22

S… Speaker 4 (PART 3_TEST 02)

I thought they'd be in our archives, but I can't find them.

4:26

S… Speaker 3 (PART 3_TEST 02)

As far as I know, they were removed from our archives and sent to the architect's office.

4:32

S… Speaker 3 (PART 3_TEST 02)

He wanted to have them restored.

4:34

S… Speaker 4 (PART 3_TEST 02)

Well, I need them urgently.

4:37

S… Speaker 4 (PART 3_TEST 02)

The inspectors from the Federal Safety Commission are dropping by today for their annual inspection,

4:42

S… Speaker 4 (PART 3_TEST 02)

and they'll want to inspect those blueprints to make sure that our fire escape routes are up to date.

4:48

S… Speaker 3 (PART 3_TEST 02)

If it's that urgent, I'm sure you can get someone at the architect's office to fax you a copy.

S… Speaker 3 (PART 3_TEST 02)

I think I have their number in my desk somewhere.

5:29

S… Speaker 2 (PART 3_TEST 02)

Our new flagship branch is opening downtown,

5:31

S… Speaker 2 (PART 3_TEST 02)

and I need an experienced fitness instructor to lead the management of the gym.

5:36

S… Speaker 1 (PART 3_TEST 02)

That sounds like a great opportunity.

5:38

S… Speaker 1 (PART 3_TEST 02)

However, I am staying home now because I hurt my leg last weekend.

5:44

S… Speaker 1 (PART 3_TEST 02)

I won't be able to do anything active for a few weeks.

5:48

S… Speaker 2 (PART 3_TEST 02)

That shouldn't be a problem.

5:50

S… Speaker 2 (PART 3_TEST 02)

We're planning to use your technical expertise to develop some customizable training programs.

5:55

S… Speaker 2 (PART 3_TEST 02)

6:42

S… Speaker 2 (PART 3_TEST 02)

Oh, really? I haven't seen her in months.

6:45

S… Speaker 2 (PART 3_TEST 02)

I miss working with her.

6:46

S… Speaker 2 (PART 3_TEST 02)

She was always so cheerful and willing to help.

6:49

S… Speaker 5 (PART 3_TEST 02)

Yeah, it's a pity she decided to leave.

6:52

S… Speaker 5 (PART 3_TEST 02)

I guess another company is paying her better.

6:55

S… Speaker 1 (PART 3_TEST 02)

Well, I invited her for lunch tomorrow at Bob's Grill.

6:59

S… Speaker 1 (PART 3_TEST 02)

Why don't you both come along?

7:01

S… Speaker 2 (PART 3_TEST 02)

I'd love to, but I'm not sure where that is.

7:04

S… Speaker 5 (PART 3_TEST 02)

It's a new diner that just opened on Bedford Street.

7:07

S… Speaker 5 (PART 3_TEST 02)

Should I send you a map?

7:09

S… Speaker 1 (PART 3_TEST 02)

No need. We can all share a taxi.

7:12

S… Speaker 1 (PART 3_TEST 02)

Just meet me at the front door at 12 o'clock sharp.

7:15

S… Speaker 2 (PART 3_TEST 02)

I recently purchased your software to keep track of my warehouse inventory,

11:10

S… Speaker 2 (PART 3_TEST 02)

Sure. How can I help?

11:11

S… Speaker 3 (PART 3_TEST 02)

Well, we've been getting an alert whenever the inventory for our deep fryers drops below 10,

11:16

S… Speaker 3 (PART 3_TEST 02)

but we usually don't stock many of those because restaurants don't often need to replace them.

11:21

S… Speaker 3 (PART 3_TEST 02)

So, can I lower the alert level for just those items?

11:25

S… Speaker 2 (PART 3_TEST 02)

Yes. In the system, if you click on that product, you'll see a link that says Set Custom Alert,

11:31

and you can set it to any number from there.

as well as the magnolia grove.

12:29
