Unnecessary comma after “plus”; it breaks the natural flow.

Cultural Tip
“À plus” is strictly informal; in a professional or formal setting you’d use “Au revoir” or “À bientôt”. The addition of “alors” adds a slight conversational flavor, signalling a natural wrap‑up. Younger French speakers love sprinkling English interjections like “Ok” or “Cool” into everyday speech.
