I'm looking for a gift for my friend.Please wrap this for me.OK.I’ll take one of them please.I'm just looking.This is a great response to “Can I help you find anything?” if you are not sure what you want to buy.Where are your fitting rooms? Ask the salesperson this question if you want to try on that outfit before you buy it.In the UK, though, you might want to ask for the changing rooms.Does this come in other colors? Not everybody likes plain old black and white.Ask a salesperson this if you've found something you really like, but want it in a different color.Do you have this in other sizes? You've found the perfect holiday outfit...if only they had your size!Ask this to a shop assistant, and he or she may be able to locate one that's the perfect fit.Do you have any of these in stock? You see it in the display, but you can't find it in the store!Don't panic.Ask an assistant if there are any left in stock.Maybe there are some hiding in the storage room.Can I put this on hold? Not sure if you've found the perfect gift? Just ask the sales assistants to “put it on hold”, and they will put the item aside for you for one or two days.That way, it can't disappear as you continue your search.I'd like a gift receipt for this.Upon your request, most stores provide a gift receipt, which does not list any prices.So, just in case your friend decides that gift of yours isn't so perfect after all, he or she can exchange or return it without a problem.But, if not, they'll never know how much you paid!Can I get a price check for this? Can't find a price tag on the item you're looking at? Ask the cashier this question, and he or she will check the price for you.What's your return policy? Before you buy that gift, make sure you know whether or not it can be returned or exchanged by asking the cashier this question.Do you provide gift-wrapping? No time to wrap your gifts? No worries!Many stores provide gift-wrapping services to their customers, especially during the busy holiday season.I'm just looking.如果你还不知道你想买什么,这是对“Can I help you find anything?”最佳回答。Where are your fitting rooms?如果在你买下衣服之前想试穿的话向售货员提这个问题。然而在英国,你可以要问的是changing rooms。
Does this come in other colors?不是每个人都喜欢朴素陈旧的黑色白色的。如果你发现你很喜欢某件商品,但想要不同的颜色,就问售货员以上的问题。Do you have this in other sizes?你找到了绝佳的假日服装。。只要他们有你的尺码!象以上那样问售货员,他或她就有可能向你提供最合适的着装。
Do you have any of these in stock?你看到橱窗中有,但是商店中区却没有这种商品!不要怕。去问营业员是否有left in stock。可能储藏室还有些呢。
Can I put this on hold?不确定你是否找到了最好的礼物?只要让售货员“put it on hold”,那么他们会将商品为你保留一到两天。那样的话,在你继续到处看看的时候不那件商品不至于马上消失。
I'd like a gift receipt for this.根据你的要求,大多数的商店提供一张gift receipt,上面没有任何的价钱。因此,如果你的朋友觉得你的礼物不合适,他或她可以随时调换。但是,如果不这样的话,他们将永远不知道你付了多少钱!
Can I get a price check for this?找不到你看的商品的价格?那就问售货员这个问题,他或她会为你查价格。What's your return policy?在你买礼物之前,要问清楚售货员你买的东西可不可以退或怎样可以换。
Do you provide gift-wrapping?没有时间为你买的礼物包装?别急!许多商店为他们的顾客特别是在繁忙的假日期间提供包装服务。
