Shopping conversation


If you don’t have anything you want or you wouldn’t like clerks to talk to you…

Clerk: May I help you?

Me: just looking, thank you. 


If you have any questions or say something to clerks
*Where can I buy ?
*I’d like to buy .
*Do you have ?
*How much is this?
*Can I try this on?
*Do you have a larger [smaller] one?
*I’d like this. / I’ll take this.
*Can I pay by credit card? What credit card do you have?
*Could you gift-wrap this please?
*(Can I have) check, please?


A typical shopping trouble for Japanese
Clerk: Hello!
Me: … Hello.
Clerk: May I help you?
Me: Thank you.
Clerk: These pants go well with your shirt. What do you think?
Me: OK.
