Episode 24: The Stockroom
Manager: Morning Tim, you look very well turned out today.
Tim: Thank you. It's a new suit for the New Year. I like to look smart for the customers.
Manager: Yes. Erm, I need to talk to you about something. I'd like you to work in the stockroom.
Tim: The stockroom! But...
Manager: I know, I know. But don't forget the jewellery department will need an assistantmanager soon.
Tim: I don't understand.
Manager: Well, if you do this for me, I'll make sure you get an interview for the position.
Tim: Right, so if I work in the stockroom...
Manager: You'll have a chance of promotion. No guarantees of course.
Tim: Hmm...can I think about it?
