SHOPPING

SUPERMARKETS. Supermarkets are primarily food stores which carry all kinds of food: fresh, frozen and canned meat, fish, vegetables and fruit as well as dairy foods and bread. They also carry a small selection of pots and pans for cooking, baby clothes and supplies, dish cloths and towels, paper products such as facial tissue, paper napkins and toilet paper, soaps and cleaners of all kinds, simple medicines such as aspirin, toiletries, etc. Almost everything needed to set up housekeeping can be found in a supermarket except sheets, pillowcases, blankets and draperies. In supermarkets, the customer serves himself and pays the cashier on leaving the store.

DEPARTMENT STORES. Department stores carry clothing for men, women and children, household linens, materials for making clothes, pots and pans, hardware, china and glassware, silverware, household electrical appliances and some furniture. Department stores do not sell fresh food.

DRUGSTORES. Drugstores, or pharmacies, sell many things besides medicinal drugs. All of them carry common medicines such as aspirin and cold remedies. A registered pharmacist is on duty to fill prescriptions given you by a doctor. Camera equipment, cosmetics, magazines, candy and greeting cards are also available. Most drugstores carry alcoholic beverages. Some drugstores are open on Sunday.

DISCOUNT STORES. Discount stores claim to sell their merchandise at a discount, or cheaper, price than other stores. This claim based on the fact that they use fewer sales personnel to wait on customers: less money for displays and buy in very large quantities thus cutting overhead and passing this saving on to the customer.

SMALL INDEPENDENT STORES. The majority of the grocery, dress, shoe, jewellery, drug and book stores in town are small independent stores owned and operated by local businessmen. They will give you more personal attention and will deliver your purchase to your home.
