SHOPPING Karen walks into a boutique. She wants to buy a scarf.... Shop assoc.: Hi, are you being helped? Karen: No, I'm not. I'm interested in some scarves. Shop assoc.: All our scarves are in this section. What do you think of this one here? It's made of silk. Karen: Hm, it looks nice, but I'd like to have something warm for the winter. Shop assoc.: Maybe you would like a heavy wool scarf. How about this one? Karen: I think that's what I want. How much is it? Shop assoc.: It's...seventy-five dollars plus tax. Karen: It's a little expensive. Do you think it's possible to get a discount? Shop assoc.: Hm, since you like it so much, how about a 10 percent discount. That's the best I can offer. Karen: That's good. Could you wrap it up for me? Shop assoc.: Sure. Is there anything else I can get for you? Karen: No, that should be it. Thank you.
