Sugar, salt, buckwheat and matches are sold at the grocer's. Bread is sold at the baker's. We buy meat at the butcher's. Fruits and vegetables are sold at the greengrocer's. We go to the confectioner's for pies, cakes, pastry and sweets and to the fishmonger's for fish.
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. Salesmen, saleswomen and cashiers work in a shop.
A customer is a person who buys things in a shop. The customers ask the salesman or saleswoman (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.
At the Grocer's
Saleswoman: What can I do for you?
Customer: I want some sugar and macaroni.
Saleswoman: How much will you have?
Customer: No more than one kilogram each. Where must I pay?
Saleswoman: Pay at the cash-desk, please.
Joke
The grocer was busy with his customers when he noticed a small boy standing near an open box of sweet biscuits.
"Well, my boy," said the grocer, "what are you up to?"
"Nothing," answered the boy.
"Nothing? Well it looks as if you were trying to take a biscuit."
"You are wrong, mister. I'm trying not to."

ARE BUSES AS EASY TO USE AS CARS?
When the weather is cold, it's not very much fun to wait for a bus. These people have been standing on the corner for fifteen minutes. They've been watching the traffic, looking for the bus, and hoping it will come soon. They've been talking about the bus and complaining about the weather. Most of them feel cold. One smart man has been drinking coffee to stay warm.
Traveling on buses decreases pollution, but people often would rather drive their cars. Many people aren't used to the bus schedules, and they don't like to wait.
On the other hand, many people have been taking the bus every day for many years. They're used to it. They say the bus has been coming on time every day, and they've never been late to work. In addition, they haven't needed a parking place in all that time. Buses are very convenient when you're used to them.
