When I have guests over, guests that are not so used to speak English, they sometimes gets frustrated when shopping. "I feel like a fool, they keep asking me things and I don't understand, I thought my English was good enough". So now I usually go through the main phrases the cashiers will ask them when done shopping, these phrases they say hundreds of times a day and is a mere mumble since everyone knows what is being said anyway. No problem for a resident, but kind of tricky for those who are already nervous how to get the different, unfamiliar coins right.Here they are, in the usual order they come:
- Did you find everything all right?
- Do you have an xx account/card?
- Would you like to save ten percent today by opening an xx account?
- May I have your zip code?
- Is that ATM or credit?
- The receipt in the bag or with you?
