13 Write out all the shopping terms and explain their meaning. The methods of shopping may vary. It may be a self-service shop where the customer goes from counter to counter selecting and putting into a basket what he or she wishes to buy. Then he or she takes the basket to the check-out counter, where the prices of the purchases are added up. If it is not a self-service shop, and most small shops are not, the shop assistant helps the customer in finding what he or she wants. You pay money to the cashier and he or she gives you back the change.
