Dialogue
A: Pegou tudo que precisava?
B: Acho que sim, vamos pra fila?
A: Nem pensar, todas as filas com um milhão de carrinhos lotados de coisas.
B: Nós não temos muita coisa no carrinho. Vamos para a fila dos 10 itens ou menos, beleza?
A: Michael, nós temos muito mais que 10 itens!
B: Bom, então… vamos usar o aplicativo. Não tem ninguém naquela fila.
A: Boa, vamos. Escaneia esses, tá bom?
B: Pode deixar, esse aplicativo é bem melhor que esperar na fila.
A: Got everything you need?
B: I think so, should we get in line?
A: No way, every line with a million carts filled to the brim.
B: We don’t have that much. Let’s get in the 10 items or less line, OK?
A: Michael, we’ve got way more than 10 items!
B: Well, then… let’s just use the app. There’s nobody in that line.
A: Yeah, let’s do that. Scan these in, OK?
B: Got it, this app’s way better than waiting in line.
