 On this video they use both constructions: CAN I...? and MAY I...? (more  		polite the second) to ask for permission.
 
 Pardon me = Excuse me
- Pardon me, miss, but can I speak to you for a minute?
 - Pardon me, miss, but can I speak to you for a second?
 - Pardon me, miss, but may I speak to you for a minute?
 - Pardon me, miss, but may I speak to you for a second?
