Sample Conversation 1 – Conversation between Shopkeeper and Customer while Purchasing a Product

Shopkeeper – Good morning, sir. How may I help you today?

Customer – Good morning. I want to buy a lady’s watch as a gift to someone.

Shopkeeper – Oh, that is great. Do you have a budget?

Customer – Yes, my budget is around Rs. 2500. Please show me watches within this range.

Shopkeeper – Sure, sir. Just a moment, please. (takes out five to six watches and starts showing.) Here you go, sir. These six watches are within your budget.

Customer – Oh wow, they are beautiful. I hope they will work fine and not cause any problems soon.

Shopkeeper – Sir, if there’s any problem with the watches within the warranty period, then all you need to do is bring the watch to us with the receipt, and we’ll replace it.

Customer – Well, in that case, I will take the third watch, the gold-coloured one.

Shopkeeper – Sure, sir. (packs and hands over the watch) Thank you for shopping with us.

Customer – Hello, I bought this watch from your shop a few months back and now it has stopped working. Here is the receipt of the watch.

Customer – Do I have to pay for anything?

Shopkeeper – You are welcome, sir. Have a nice day.

Customer – That’s great! Do you have women’s trousers and formal shirts?

Shopkeeper – Sure, ma’am. Please come with me. (takes the customer to the formal dress section)

Customer – (checks the various formal wears and selects two shirts) I think I’ll go for these two. I would like t try it on so that I can ensure that I have the right size. Do you have a trial room?

Shopkeeper – Yes, ma’am. Take a left from here, and you will find the trial rooms.

Customer – (goes into the trial room, tries on the shirts and finds one isn’t the right size) Hey, this violet shirt isn’t the right size. Do you have a ‘large’ size shirt?

Shopkeeper – Let me check, ma’am. (goes to the formal dress section and searches for the right size, finds one and comes back to the customer.) Here is the size you asked for. Should I take these to the billing department? Or would you like to buy some more?

Customer – No, that will do. Can you tell me how much they cost and whether it is eligible for a discount or not?

Shopkeeper – (goes to the billing counter and checks the computer) Congrats, ma’am. Your purchase has got you a 25% discount and your total billing amount is Rs. 730.
