Counter Rush: Dev's First Shift

Dev's first shift at a busy burger counter gets real fast. Grades 6-8 students learn workplace words, find the text clue that shows a feeling, choose calm and polite ways to fix a wrong order, match texts to the right reply for each sender, join ideas with and, but, or and so, sort short texts by author's purpose, and pick professional counter talk.
