(In a Department Store)

Intercom: Attention shoppers! Our store 1 in 15 minutes!

Man: Excuse me, can you help me please?

Female Sales Clerk: I'll be right there sir. (to another customer). I'm sorry Miss, that shirt is that last 2 in stock. Do you want me to phone our other store? No? OK, you're welcome. Take care, now. (to man) Yes, sir. Sorry about that. How can I help you?

Man: I found this sweater on the table over there. The 3 says, "One Day Sale - 40% off", but there is no price tag on the sweater. Could you tell me how 4 it costs?

Sales Clerk: Let me see what I can find out. The price should be on the computer. I'll be 5 back. It will only take a second.

(Later)

Sales Clerk: I'm so sorry, sir. Our computers went down.

Man: (Upset)I was just about to leave. So, did you 6 the price?

Sales Clerk: Yes sir. The regular price is $60.

Man: That's a little expensive. Can I get 7 for the sale price? 40% 8?

Sales Clerk: You certainly can.

Man: So, how much is the sale price then?

Sales Clerk: It would be, um, $36.00 plus G.S.T.

Man: That's a good deal. Does it come in brown?

Sales Clerk: Whatever is on the sale table, sir.

Intercom: Attention Shoppers! Our store closes in 5 minutes!

Man: I didn't see any.

Sales Clerk: Would you like me to check with our 9 store, sir?

Man: No, this has already taken too much time. You are closing now. Where is the cashier?

Sales Clerk: Do you see the large red sign there, sir? The one that says," Cashier"? They should be able to 10 you there.

Man: Oh, sorry. Thanks.

Sales Clerk: No problem. Have a nice evening.
