The store had a good reputation, and Mrs. White had often shopped there before. But when she got home and examined the sheets, Mrs. White was shocked. One of them had a big hole in the middle, and another was badly stained. And two others were frayed at the edges. As you can imagine, Mrs. White was very angry and she went back immediately to complain. When she arrived, the store was closed and two other angry ladies were waiting outside. One of them told Mrs. White that she had bought some towels that morning, and the other lady said that she had purchased a linen tablecloth. In both cases the goods were defective. A little later some other women joined them, and they all told the same story. Part C Finally the storekeeper appeared and let them in. The poor man looked very worried. He became very nervous when the ladies threatened to call the police, but he denied trying to cheat them. Then he explained what had happened. In his absence, the driver of a delivery truck had mistaken his shop for a secondhand goods store and had delivered a load of used material from a nearby hotel. The sales clerk had not bothered to check the delivery and had started selling the defective goods right away. The storekeeper apologized for the mistake and promised to exchange the ladies' purchases and to refund half the price. Needless to say he fired the careless assistant.

But the first supermarket was opened only about seventy years ago. It was opened in New York by Michael Cullen. Cullen was born in 1884 and died in 1936. In 1929, after nearly 30 years behind the counter of stores, he thought he knew a better way of selling groceries. In a bold letter to his bosses at Kroger Grocery & Baking Co., the 45-year-old sales manager put forward the idea of creating supermarkets, where prices were reduced on some products to encourage buying, and increased on others. Goods were to be placed on open shelves for easier reach and parking would be plentiful because the stores were to be located away from the crowded downtown streets. The advantages of the supermarkets were to be vigorously advertised on radios and newspapers. * College English: Listening and Speaking Course 1 Unit 6: Shopping Part A Part B Part C Part D Unit 6: Shopping Shopping Communicative Function : Getting Information Listening Strategy : Recognizing Prices PART A Unit 6: Shopping Pre-listening Task Listening Task Text : Where Can We Find Women’s Wear?
