SHOPPING

Do you have these shoes in size seven? Karen walks into a shoe store.  She wants to buy a pair of new shoes for herself....

Clerk: May I help you?

Karen: Yes. Do you have these shoes in size seven?

Clerk: I'm not sure.  If you can't find them on the rack, they may be out of stock.  But let me look in the stockroom.

Karen: Thanks. I'd like to try on a pair if you have them.

Clerk: I'll be right back.

 That's a rip-off!

 

Dennis bought a used TV for 200 dollars.  He didn't realize he had been ripped off.... 

Erwin: How much did you pay for it?

Dennis: 200 bucks.

Erwin: 200 bucks for a piece of junk like that?  That's a rip-off!

Dennis: What do you mean?

Erwin: It's not worth it.

Dennis: Oh.  I guess I really did get ripped off.

 

Are you being helped?

Karen walks into a boutique.  She wants to buy a scarf..

Sales Assoc: Hi, are you being helped?

Karen: No, I'm not.  I'm interested in some scarves.

Sales Assoc: All our scarves are in this section.  What do you think of this one here?  It's made of silk.

Karen: Hm, it looks nice, but I'd like to have something warm for the winter.

Sales Assoc: Maybe you would like a heavy wool scarf.  How about this one?

Karen: I think that's what I want.  How much is it?

Sales Assoc: It's...seventy-five dollars plus tax.

Karen: It's a little expensive.  Do you think it's possible to get a discount?

Sales Assoc: Hm, since you like it so much, how about a 10 percent discount. That's the best I can offer.

Karen: That's good.  Could you wrap it up for me?

Sales Assoc: Sure.  Is there anything else I can get for you?

Karen: No, that should be it.  Thank you

I am just browsing Karen walks into a furniture store.  This time she only wants to browse....

Greg: Hi, can I help you?

Karen: No, thanks. I'm just looking. 

Greg: All right.  If you need any help, just let me know.  My name is Greg.

 Karen: Sure. I'll let you know if I need anything. (A king-size mattress attracts Karen.)  Hm, this mattress is very firm.  Jack will probably like it. 

Greg: Did you find something you like?

Karen: Yes, this mattress is very good.  It's pretty firm.  The mattress I'm now sleeping on is saggy.

Greg: You're right.  This is a very good brand.  It doesn't sag easily.  And we offer a life-time warranty, so you don't have to worry about its quality.

Karen: Does it come with a frame?

Greg: Unfortunately, it doesn't.  However, we could offer a ten percent discount on that.  And also, if you're really interested, we have a very good financing plan here.  There's no payment, no interest until next June.

Karen: That's an attractive plan.  I'll think about it.

Greg: Well, you've got to hurry.  This mattress sells pretty well and this promotion ends tomorrow.
