Showing Immaturity 


Romero: Are you going to tell Amber 1 that she can’t have Saturday off of work or should I? 


Alice: You’d better tell her. I don’t think she’s going to take it well. 


Romero: I’ll do it, but I’m not looking forward to it. She can be really immature 2 when she doesn’t get what she wants. 


Alice: Yeah, that’s why I don’t like working with her. If things don’t go her way, she pouts 3 and whines 4. I don’t know why they don’t fire her. 


Romero: I think she’s just a little inexperienced. This is her first job, after all. Some of her behavior is pretty childish, but when she’s not kicking up a fuss or moaning about something, she does good work. 


Alice: That’s like saying somebody is a good worker when they’re not napping! 


Romero: She’s not that bad, but we do have to look past some juvenile 5 antics when our employees are so young. 


Alice: Yeah, too bad we can’t have seniors selling to teenagers. 


Romero: I think that would open a whole different can of worms!
