I keep hearing "sa ma" and I'm not sure what it means.
I work at a Chinese restaurant and I keep hearing what sounds like the Japanese "Sama" as a response to a lot of different things. I'm not sure what it means, or how to look it up since I don't know how it is spelled in Pinyin. It is only ever used as a response and there are no more words with it.

Working at a Chinese restaurant as delivery, what sort of things should I learn to say? (and hear)
Hello, I just started working as a delivery driver for a local Chinese place here. My tones are fine, and they understand me when I do say a word or two in Chinese to help them understand something. But, I literally only know a few words and grammar, so what should I do to start speaking with them USEFULLY right away? (One thing specifically I'm looking for is how to say 'I'm off' or something whenever I get a delivery, I feel like zai jian is not appropriate.) In Japanese, I always talked about hobbies and such, but here it's a little more unclear since it's a work environment. I wait for a delivery, go up, they explain to me the address, and I tell them if I understand or not, then I go. I'd like to be able to help them with misunderstandings with English, like they didn't understand "no breading" and I looked up the word for bread and said it to them and they understood. I'd like to be able to do this with out looking up words, but how do I know what to expect? Thanks!
