SHOP ASSISTANT

Hi! Welcome. Can I help you with anything?

CUSTOMER

Hi! Yes, please. I’m looking for a jacket.

SHOP ASSISTANT

Sure. What kind of jacket do you want—something casual or something more formal?

CUSTOMER

Casual, for everyday. Something warm, but not too heavy.

SHOP ASSISTANT

Great. What size do you usually wear?

CUSTOMER

Usually a medium, but it depends on the brand.

SHOP ASSISTANT

No problem. We have these jackets here. This one is a light puffer jacket, and this one is a denim jacket.

CUSTOMER

I like the puffer jacket. Do you have it in black?

SHOP ASSISTANT

Yes, we do. Here you are.

CUSTOMER

Thank you. Can I try it on?

SHOP ASSISTANT

Of course. The fitting rooms are over there on the right.

CUSTOMER

Great, thanks.

(A moment later.)
CUSTOMER

Hi, I tried it on. It feels comfortable, but the sleeves are a little long.

SHOP ASSISTANT

Let me see. Yes, it’s slightly long. Would you like to try a smaller size?

CUSTOMER

Yes, please. Can I try a small?

SHOP ASSISTANT

Sure. One second… Here’s a small in black.

(She tries it on.)
CUSTOMER

This size is better, but now it feels tight when I move my arms.

SHOP ASSISTANT

I understand. Some jackets are like that. Would you like a different model? This one has more space in the shoulders.

CUSTOMER

Yes, I’d like to try it.

SHOP ASSISTANT

Here you go. It’s also water-resistant, so it’s good for rainy days.

(She tries it on.)
CUSTOMER

Oh, I like this one! It fits well, and it’s not too heavy. How much is it?

SHOP ASSISTANT

It’s 65 dollars. And today we have a 10% discount if you buy two items.

CUSTOMER

That’s nice. I also need a scarf.

SHOP ASSISTANT

Perfect. Scarves are right next to the jackets. Do you prefer something plain or with a pattern?

CUSTOMER

Something plain, maybe grey.

SHOP ASSISTANT

Great choice. This grey scarf is soft and warm.

CUSTOMER

I’ll take the jacket and the scarf, please.

SHOP ASSISTANT

Lovely. Please come to the checkout, and I’ll ring it up for you.
