Maria, a caregiver from the Philippines, comes to pay her employer's hospital bill and pick up medicine.
Maria: Excuse me, I need to pay this bill, for my employer.
Sharon: Sure, may I see the payment slip?
Maria: Here. She cannot come today, she is sick at home.
Sharon: That's fine. The total is one thousand two hundred NT dollars. Cash or card?
Maria: Cash, please.
Sharon: Thank you. Here's your receipt and change — please keep it for insurance claims.
Maria: Okay. Also, where can I get her medicine?
Sharon: The pharmacy counter is just around the corner, on your right. Give them this yellow slip.
Maria: Thank you so much, Sharon.
Sharon: You're welcome. Take care.
