dialogue between sales woman and customer
Answers
Salesman: Sir, how may I help you?
Customer: I’m looking for a pair of leather shoes.
Salesman: What size do you wear?
Customer: Seven.
Salesman: Seven for which brand?
Customer: Does the same size mean different thing for different brands? It should be standard across all brands, right?
Salesman: For few brands, the same size can mean slightly different fitting.
Customer: Is it? I thought otherwise. Anyway, I wear size seven of Hush Puppies, and because I want to buy the same brand it shouldn’t be a problem.
Salesman: Yes, it won’t be a problem in your case. This section has new arrivals and this has shoes on sale.
(The customer first glances through the shoes on sale.)
Customer: The variety is far less here. Because I’m buying shoes for at least few years, I would like to buy something I like. I’ll prefer new arrivals.
Salesman: Most of the shoes on sale were picked up by customers within a day of opening of the sale. That’s why you find far less variety there.
Salesman: Why don’t you try these ones?
Customer: Not these ones. I’m looking for more formal look, the ones with laces and predominantly plain texture.
Customer: I like this one. Lemme try it.
(The customer puts on the pair and walks few yards.)
Customer: This fits well. I’ll take this one in black. Size seven.
Salesman: Would you like to see socks and shoe polish as well?
Customer: Not polish, but yes socks.
(The customer then walks to the shelves, next to the billing counter, which held shoe accessories.)
Customer: Do you sell socks only in combo of three?
Salesman: We sell by pair as well. Here they are.
Customer: OK. I’ll take these two pairs.
Salesman: Anything else, sir?
Customer: No, thanks.
Salesman: I’ll get the billing done, then.
Customer: Sure.
Shopkeeper: Can I help you?
Sidra: Yes have you got any cotton suits with Multani embroidery on dupattas?
Shopkeeper: Yes they're over there.
S: Oh yes, I see I like the pink one. How much is it?
Shopkeeper: That one is Rs. 850/
S: I think that's a bit too expensive. What do you say, Nida?
N: yes it is rather a lot but I like the green one.
S: It's a bit bigger.
N: And pretty too.
S: Well how much is it?
Shopkeeper: That one is Rs. 1200/
S: I can't afford that much. What about the white one?
Shopkeeper: Rs. 650/
S: That's a bit cheaper than even the pink one.
N: Yes But I think the green one's prettier don't you?
S: I suppose so but it's more expensive.
N: Yes but it's nicer.
Shopkeeper: You can buy the green one madam. It's for sale at a reduced price.
S: Why? Is there any defect in it?
Shopkeeper: Yes madam. There is an oil stain on the shalwar but it's not visible.
S: And what's its reduced price?
Shopkeeper: Only Rs. 900/
S: Oh that's good. We'll take the green one please...
