Joey: Excuse me, do you validate

parking?

Cory: Good afternoon, ma’am. We do

validate parking, yes. When

you’re ready to leave, bring me

your receipts and I’ll stamp

your parking ticket.

Joey: Thank you. (turns to leave)

Cory: Ma’am? I should also tell you

that we validate one hour for

every twenty-five dollars you

spend, up to three hours. After that,

parking is reduced to a dollar and a

half per hour.

Joey: Okay. I don’t plan on being here

much longer. Oh, can you tell

me where I’ll find winter coats?

Cory: Winter coat are out of season,

but you might be able to find

something in our clearance

section. That would beon

basement level one.

Dora: (approaches desk, talking to

someone) Judy, don’t worry! I’ll

get one! (to clerk) Can I rent a

stroller here?

Cory: A stroller? Yes, sir, we have

strollers. We only ask that you

leave your ID with us.

Dora: Sure. (hands ID to clerk) (to

Judy) I’m coming!

Jing: Sir, excuse me. I, well, I’ve lost

my boyfriend. One minute he

was behind me and the next… I

can’t believe it! He has my bag

with my keys and my wallet!

Cory: All right, Miss. I’m sure he’s still

in the mall. I’ll page him for you.

If you write down his name,

we’ll find him.

Mike: (approaches desk) Did someone

page me?

Jing: Mike, where have you been ?

(Joey arrives and clerk turns to her.)

Cory: Did you find a winter coat?

Joey: No. There was one, but it was

the wrong size. I did find a

great pair of boots , though.

Cory: That was fortunate. If you hand

me your receipt, I can validate

your parking ticket.

(Jing walks up to desk.)

Jing: While we’re here, can you tell

me about your VIP card?

Cory: Gladly. Just a moment,

please.(stamps Joey’s receipt)

Ma’am, you were here for four

hours. The first three hours are

complimentary, the forth hour is one

and a half dollars. You can pay as

you drive out.

Joey: That’s fine. Thank you for your

help.

Cory: Not at all. (turns to Jing) This is

a brochure about our VIP

program. You receive one point

for every ten dollars you spend

shopping with us.

Jing: And what do I use the points for?

Cory: Your accumulated points can

be used toward store

purchases. When you accrue

fifty points, you receive fifty

dollars off your next purchase.

Jing: Sounds good to me. Where do I

sign up?

Cory: Do you see the sign that reads

“Customer Relations” near the

elevators over there? You can

fill out the application and get

your VIP card there.
