Hello! How can I help you?
I was wondering whether you have any of Jane Austen’s books here.
Yes, of course. Do you want to buy some?
Yeah. One of my friends is a big fan of hers, so I want to buy them as her birthday present.
I think you should buy the complete works set. It will not cost you much.
That’s perfect. I’ll take it.
Hey! I need to purchase these books, could you make the bill, please?
Sure ma’am. Can I see the books, please?
Sure. Here they are.
That makes 40 dollars. Would you like to pay by cash or by card?
I will pay through debit card.
No problem. Can I have your debit card so that I can swipe it?
Of course.
Here’s your card payment receipt. Thank you for shopping here.
I am looking for ‘A Wanted Man’ by Lee Child. Do you have it?
Sorry, but we ran out of that book. I sold the last book half an hour ago.
Oh! That’s sad to hear. I really wanted that book.
You can make a preorder for the book. The shipment is about to reach here in a day or so.
That’s great. I would like to make the order.
Alright. Write down your name and address here and we will deliver it at your place.
The amount is 20 dollars.
That would be perfect, here you go. Thank you so much.
Excuse me, I want to buy David Walsh's new book but I can't remember its title.
That would be his 3rd novel: Seven Deadly Sins. Here you go.
Oh, that's it. I read some good reviews about it!
Yes,ma'am.This book is among the best new seller of the month.
Oh, wow! So it must be really good. Do you have his other books as well?
I'm sorry but not at the moment, we don't. They sold out.
Oh, I see... I'm gonna take this one then. How much does it cost?
It's $18.00. Should I have it wrapped as a gift?
That won't be necessary, thank you.
You're welcome.
