Target & Queueing with Alex Royston



Matt and Emily welcome Alex Royston to the podcast as they enjoy Harry & David’s Bing Cherry tea by The Republic of Tea! For her mini-topic this week, Emily brings up her favorite place to shop: Target! They talk about how all Targets have the same layout, what happens when they don’t follow that layout, and Bullseye the dog’s possible drinking habits. For this week’s guest topic, Alex shares her feelings about queueing (AKA getting in line) from living in Australia, England, and now America. They talk personal space, driving, the stars, and the some of the different ways people use English to say the same thing. (Are you used to people saying “step up,” “step down,” “this way,” or just shouting “next”?)
