Different ways to look at いいです

Felt like a really good resource to learn the nuances of いいです, presented them in many ways I haven't really thought of before which was really useful! Seeing it as a yes and no answer kinda like saying thanks in English where the way it's being said matters more than it's meaning

いいです

  • you can learn different phrases used at a convenience store ('would you like a bag?' 'would you like it heated up?')

While the illustration of the range of いいです is mostly good, I found the examples at the convenience store especially frustrating. It can in fact be really difficult to tell the difference between "No thanks, I'm good," and "Yes please," and the book basically does nothing to clarify it. I think you're supposed to be able to tell from the customer's tone of voice but the rapid transitions and the lack of any feedback on which interpretation is correct don't help. They could have at least used som
