Shops and Shopping

When we want to buy something, we must go to the
shop where it is sold. In the shop window we see what
is sold in the shop.
Sugar, tea, coffee, salt, pepper, ham, bacon, and so on
are sold at the grocer’s. Bread is sold at the baker’s,

meat at the butcher’s. We go to the greengrocer’s for
vegetables and fruit. We buy boots and shoes at the
shoeshop. We buy books at the bookseller’s and
jewellery and watches at the jeweller’s.
The salesman or salesgirl stands behind the counter.
We ask the salesman: “How much is this?” or “What
is the price of that?” He tells us the price. He gives us
the bill. At the cash desk we give the money and the
bill to the cashier, who gives us a check and our
change. The salesman wraps up the goods and gives
them to us. We put them in our bag.
Some shops have many departments. We can buy
nearly everything we need there. They are called
department stores. In some shops there are no
salesmen, but only cashiers. The customers choose the
goods they want and pay at the cashdesk. These are
called self-service shops. If someone tries to take
things from a shop without paying they are almost
certain to be caught. Most shops have store detectives
who have the job catching shoplifters. Shoplifting is
considered a serious crime by the police.
