1 miles away: If someone is "miles away", they are deep in thought and unaware of their surroundings. Example: I'm sorry, could you say that again? I was miles away! This idiom perfectly describes Fred in the short text!
1 sticking out a mile: If something "sticks out a mile", it is obvious or very noticeable. Fred is deep in thought in the back room, so no one is going to notice him!
1 going the extra mile: If someone "goes the extra mile", they make a special effort to help someone. Fred is not making any effort at all!
2 sticks out a mile: If something "sticks out a mile", it is obvious or very noticeable. Example: Your English is really good - the fact that you lived in California for 3 years sticks out a mile. Because Sandra has bright pink hair, it is difficult not to notice her, therefore she "sticks out a mile".
2 goes the extra mile: If someone "goes the extra mile", they make a special effort to help someone. In the text, Sandra doesn't appear to be helping anyone!
2 is miles away: If someone is "miles away", they are deep in thought and unaware of their surroundings. Sandra isn't deep in thought - she is busy shouting at Fred!
3 going the extra mile: If someone "goes the extra mile (for someone or something)" they make a special effort to help someone or to achieve something. Example: I recommended the hotel to my friends because the manager was always ready to go the extra mile to make our stay as comfortable as possible. In the short text, Lucy is "going the extra mile" because she is making a special effort to help a customer. Note: this idiom is more common in the UK.
3 sticking out a mile: If something "sticks out a mile", it is obvious or very noticeable. This idiom doesn't really describe Lucy who is working hard to help a customer!
