下面是在美国商店可能会听到的用语：
服务员可能会问：
What can do for you?
How can I help you?
How are you doing today? Can I help?
How’s your day? Do you want to have a sample today?
顾客可能会说下面这些话表达他想要点东西：
Sure, I think I want...
I guess I want...
Yes, I’d like...
Can I have...
I will be appreciated if you can...
当把食物给顾客时：
Here you go.
Have a nice day!
Have a good one!
当服务人员对顾客买东西表示感谢说“thank you”时，顾客会说：
Thank you (重读you表示回应)
Have a nice day.
另外，有时顾客虽然先开口对说了：How is your day? 或者 how are you doing? 但他们可能并不期望你回答，紧接着就点了。当然，也可以回答：“I am good。”或者“I am great。”
这些都是很简单的表达，但要脱口而出，对语言的熟练度很重要。
