When we want to buy clothes we go to the men`s or ladies` outfitter`s. We buy shoes at the shoe shops. Sometimes we go to a department store to buy clothes or shoes. A department store is a big shop which has many departments. Salesman, saleswomen and cashiers work in a shop.

A customer is a person who buys things in a shop. The customers ask the salesman or saleswomen (salesgirl) to show the things they want to buy. They ask him (her) what the price is or how much it is. The salesman or salesgirl answer them and give the bill. At the cash-desk the customers give the bill and the money to the cashier and get a check and their change.

They come up to the salesgirl and give her the check. The salesgirl takes it and wraps up the goods they`ve bought. If customers buy some food-stuffs a salesgirl first weighs the thing they`ve bought on the scales and only afterwards wraps it up and gives it to them.

THE BIG STORES

I went into one of the big London stores today and enjoyed myself very much, just wandering from one department to another, looking at the various articles on the counters.

There must have been some hundreds of salesman and saleswoman and dozens of different departments, including china, haberdashery, confectionery, hardware and even provisions.

She`s been living abroad and she`s just come back to had lunch together. Of course, we talked and talked. She told me she was married and that she`d brought her eldest boy to England with her. He was going to school here and would live with his grandmother, who was a widow. His grandfather had died quite recently. We didn`t finish lunch until half past two. Then we did some shopping together. I helped her to buy some presents for he children, I can`t tell you how glad we were to see each other again.
