Unit 3.2. At the supermarket

Objetive.

Supermarkets are places to find edible products, from cleaning up to appliances.

In these supermarkets there are employees who are there to guide clients with questions such as:

Mr. Where did they place the cookies that were in front of the bread?

Mrs. To the right of aisle 2 are located the cookies you are looking for.

Friend the coffee next door is more expensive than this?

Good afternoon Mr. If that is more expensive, but in the upper shelf there is one of better quality and much cheaper.

Short Reading about the topic.

Supermarkets are now an integral part of the community in 21st century living. Every community has at least one supermarket. These range in size from huge buildings with 15 aisles or more to smaller ones with three or four aisles.

But not everybody is enchanted with supermarkets. They remember the times when life was less hectic and people went to the local grocer, butcher or greengrocer and met and chatted with the neighbors as well as the storekeeper herself or himself. But it is unlikely that the days of the local shopkeeper will return. Today supermarket is very convenient for busy people who are always in a hurry.

Definition and short description.

A supermarket is the establishment whose main purpose is to bring consumers an important variety of products of different brands, prices and styles. Unlike what happens with much of the business, a supermarket is characterized by exposing these products within the reach of consumers, who resort to the self-service system and pay the amount of items chosen at the end in the box area.
