Lesson 22 Key Conversation Can I Get These Shirts Laundered?

Steve: Hi, I have a few dress shirts to pick up.

Clerk: Can I see your ticket, please? Yes, those are ready today. Anything to drop off?

Steve: Yes. Can I have these pants cleaned, please? Also, the hem on the left leg is coming loose.

Clerk: We can fix that, too, but it'll be a few more days since our seamstress is backed up this week.

Steve: That'll be fine. When will they be ready for pick up?

Clerk: Probably by Friday. We'll give you a call. About that stain you pointed out...

Steve: Yes. Were you able to get it out? Nothing I tried worked.

Clerk: Yes. Good as new - and we got rid of the ring around the collar, too.

Steve: Great, thanks! I can always count on you guys to save me from embarrassment.
