Store Clerk: Hi. Welcome to Angie's. Can I help you find something or are you just looking?
Marianne: I'm not sure. Aren't you having a sale right now? Store Clerk: Everything on these two racks over here is on sale. Marianne: Thanks. Oooo. This sweater is nice. But it looks a little big. Do you have this in a smaller size? Store Clerk: I think so. Let me look. Oh, here's one. Would you like to use the fitting room to try it on? Marianne: Sure. Thanks. ...a little later... Store Clerk: How did it fit? Marianne: Not too bad. I think I'll take it. Store Clerk: Great. (She takes it off the hanger) How would you like to pay? Marianne: Well, I'm almost maxed out on my credit card, so I think I'll pay with a check. Store Clerk: Okay, with tax it comes to $24.93.* Marianne: Who should I make the check out to? Store Clerk: Angie's. Marianne: Here you are. Store Clerk: Can I see some I.D. too, please? Marianne: Sure, here is my driver's license. Store Clerk: Thanks. Here you go. Enjoy your sweater. And have a nice day. Marianne: Thanks. You too. |
