Shop assistant : Good afternoon. Can I help you find anything?
Customer : Oh, no thanks. I’m just looking.
Shop assistant : Sure, take your time. If you need anything, just let me
know.
Customer : Actually, I am looking for a shirt. Could you
recommend a style for me?
Shop assistant : Sure, how about this style? It’s very popular at the
moment.
Customer : Hmm, not that one. I’ve already got skirt like that in 3
different colors.
Shop assistant : Okay, how about this one?
Customer : I do like the color. It’s really nice. What size is it?
Shop assistant : It’s a small.
Customer : Oh, okay. It’s too small for me. Do you have a size up?
Shop assistant : Give me a minute and I’ll go check in the back if it’s in
stock.
In a while.
Shop assistant : Okay, I’m sorry, Miss. We only have it in a small.
Customer : Okay, do you have something in a similar style?
Shop assistant : Hmm, how about this one?
Customer : Hmm, I do like it. Can I try it on?

Shop assistant : Sure, there are fitting rooms right around the corner.

Friend : Thanks for coming shopping with me.
Customer : Oh, sure. I wanted to come. That hat looks great on you.
You should buy it.

Customer : What do you think of theses glasses?

Clerk : Hello, how can I help you?
Customer : I like this T-shirt. How much is it?
Clerk : It’s $5.99.
Customer : Do you have a smaller size?
Clerk : Let me check for you. No, I think that’s the smallest size
we have.
Customer : Okay, I’ll take it. Can I pay with a credit card?
Clerk : No, we’re cash only, I’m afraid. There’s an ATM outside
the shop, though.
Customer : I’ve got some cash. Here you go. Can I have a receipt,
please?
Clerk : Sure, here. Have a great day.
