These are the translations (English, with Kanji, just Hiragana and Katakana, Romanji) used in the video.

"The customer has been waiting for over an hour."

お客さんは1時間以上 待って いました

おきゃくさんは1じかんいじょうまっていました

Okyaku-san wa ichi-jikan ijou matte imashita.

"The man grew tired of waiting for an appointment."

その男は予約を 待つ のに飽きた

そのおとこはよやくをまつのにあきた

Sono otoko wa yoyaku o matsu no ni akita.
