This video is very useful, thank you!

[mine]

Thank you so much! I really needed it!!

[dia.noor]

Perfect! Thank you so much for making these videos! I volunteer at my local library to help people practice their English conversation and these videos would be great!

Could you please do something similar to this but with money and measurements/quantity of grocery items? For example, with money you could focus on how different coins make a certain amount of cents, such as for $2.75, three quarters make the 75 cents. Then for measurements or quantity, it could be something like 1) Oranges: "2 for a dollar" which can also be said as "2 oranges are $1." 2) Apples: 79 cents per pound 3) Grapes: $1.99 per pound - and then you can point out the price difference between 2) and 3) and how that will also change if people choose to buy less than a pound of these items. For example, that we can also choose to purchase half pound or quarter pound of fruits/vegetables.

I think the entire "grocery shopping" can go with lots of different ideas (fish/meat, canned foods etc. and the list just goes on). If it's possible, then maybe you can also consider making a bunch of video series out of it. Thank you so much again!

[sayanihazra]

[НатальяИванова-въ]

Я ничего не поняла здесь не на продуктом и не на магазине😂

[coffinperson]

Yeah, I'd rather head straight to the self-checkout. Small talk with cashiers is robotic, meaningless and pointless.

[andrewmurray]

You missed the part where they have a fit and call you rude for not asking for all the intimate details of their life while buying drugs and alcohol to forget your own.

I'm being a little silly, but for real, it's going to be strange for ESL when they use innuendo and double-speak.

Cashier- Carrots are on sale.

Customer- thank you, but I don't need any today.

Cashier- what a f-ing a-hole, how dare you, so rude!

Customer- ?Que mierda?

[Nictastic]

This hurt to watch as a cashier of 10 years
