Shopping is a part of
OUR daily life. There are people who hate going shopping. They make a list of what they need and run through
THE STORE buying the
NECESSARY things. But there are people who go from store to store looking for goods of
GOOD quality and
LOW price. They worry about the time they spend shopping.
The methods of shopping may vary. It may be a self-service shop where a customer
GOES from counter to counter selecting and putting into a basket what he
WISHED to buy. Then he takes the basket to the check-out counter, where the prices of the purchases are
ADDED up. If it is not a self-service shop, a shop-assistant helps a customer to find what he wants.
