When you want to
buy something, you must go to the shop where it is sold. In the shop-window,
you see what is sold in the shop. Sugar, tea, coffee, salt, pepper, ham, bacon,
and so on are sold at the grocer’s. You can buy bread at the baker’s, meat at
the butcher’s. You go to the greengrocer’s for vegetables and fruit. Cakes and
sweets are sold at the confectioner’s. If you want to buy clothes, you go to
the men’s and boy’s or ladies’ and girls ‘outfitters. Clothes bought in a shop
are ready-made. To buy ready-made suits is considerably cheaper than to have
them made to measure. If you cannot find clothes that are the right size, you
can go to a tailor’s shop. Clothes made to measure, are called tailor-made
clothes.
We buy
boots and shoes at the footwear shop. To buy jewellery and silver and golden
watches we go to the jeweller’s. Books are sold at the bookseller’s. A salesman
or a salesgirl stands behind the counter. A cashier sits at the cash desk.
Customers come up to the counter. We ask the salesman: «How much is this?» or
«What is the price of that?» He tells us the price and gives us the bill. The
salesgirl weighs the goods which we want to buy on the scales and tells us the
price. At the cash desk, we give the bill and the money to the cashier, who
gives us a check and our change. The salesgirl wraps the goods up and gives
them to us. We put them into our shopping bag. Some shops have many
departments. We can buy everything we need there. These shops are called
department stores. In some shops there are no shop assistants but only cashiers.
The customers choose the goods they want and pay at the cash desk. These are
called supermarkets or self-service shops
