Shopping

Introduction

Most of the people do the shopping because they have to. They have to buy food, clothes, sometimes equipment. Or they just want to have anything new. Some people, especially women and girls, love shopping. They can’t live without it. It’s necessary for them to go through the shop and look what new they have and what is cheaper and what is more expensive. It’s a form of relaxation for them, which costs them a lot of money. Sometimes they buy stupid things just to have them. Useless clothes etc. Some of us have to go to the shop to buy some presents. It’s a disaster usually, especially with men. They go and go and don’t know what to buy.

Shopping in my family

My mother goes to the shop regularly every day after work. She buys bread or rolls or some sweets. On Friday she has a big shopping for a weekend. Sometimes My father brings from Ostrava very big shopping usually some cartons of lasting milk, cartons of juice, a lot of fruit and a lot of things which last long. Time to time we go shopping to a big supermarkets like Makro or Kaufland and we buy there things for a long time or we buy there some clothes and shoes.

Window shopping

  • it has got a lot of advantages - you don‘t need money

- you can see a lot of interesting things without entering to the shop Þ you don‘t have to queue

- you can have a nice survey about prices or new kinds or trends

  • I do this when I have nothing to do, when I wait for the bus or for friends…

Buying presents

I don‘t like buying presents because I newer know what to buy. I hate buying useful presents. I think present should be anything special not ordinary things which you will use every day. But my imagination doesn‘t work well usually that time. So I buy typical gifts like books, chocolates, cosmetic etc. It makes me mad because it‘s still the same. And I‘m not able to found a new Idea.

Shopping is pleasant when I have nothing to do, a lot of time and a lot of money. If you have money you can choose, if don’t, you have to buy what is. I know it from the time when I needed a lot of sports equipment. It’s true that in some sort of things “the more expensive the better quality”. Shopping is usually pleasant when I can choose but sometimes it’s unpleasant because I don’t know what to buy, I can’t decide. And when I buy anything I say to myself “I should had taken anything different, it would have been definitely better…”

Different kinds of shops:

  • stalls - standing in the streets and squares or at the tube-stations (many of their keepers are Vietnamese)

- you can buy watches, jeans or shoes cheaper than anywhere else, but this goods often have terrible quality – lose colours, shape, …,

  • self-service shops or supermarkets – bigger, you can buy also goods from chemist or ironmonger here
  • hypermarkets – very large, sell all possible kinds of food and kitchen and house needs
  • department stores – usually huge buildings equipped with speedy lifts and escalators, where you can buy almost everything from food to furniture
  • big markets, which are sponsored from abroad, could be dangerous for small private shops, because they can push off them
  • TV shopping – adverts on TV, you can phone and they will post you the goods
  • Internet shopping – you search an Internet page of some shop and you can find the prizes and you can order some goods or duties, you can send money from your bank account for programs’ registration
  • Interactive shops – in isn’t ordinary yet, they just try it in some countries, you can order something through your TV set – very comfortable

Shopping in department stores x normal shops

Department stores

It‘s more comfortable, you can buy everything there, you are in one building, you don‘t have to travel through whole town, you can spend whole day there. There is a big choice there. There is a lot of space there but sometimes there could be a big amount of people. There could be some problems with service. If there is a lot of people you can‘t find a staff, you can get lost – it‘s dangerous for small children. The prizes are higher.

Normal shops, boutiques

There is not everything in one shop, you have to go to more shops, you have to queue in every shop, there is lesser choice there, you are served, it’s cheaper, in the village it’s more familiar, there is often full so there is lack of space, it’s not open whole day or on weekends, old people can have a chat.

I prefer department stores to ordinary shops. You have to visit a lot of shops and there are different goods in every shop. I choose something but don’t buy it and I go to another shop then I have to go back. You have better choice but it lasts very long. Department stores are the best If you want to buy only food I thing. You don’t have to go to bakery, butcher, fruit, etc.

Shopping in the town ´ in the village

  • town - many kinds of shops, you can choose one which is the best one

- there is bigger competition - lower prices.

  • village - one shop dictates the prices, good relationships between customers and shop assistants

- not enough chances for shopping

- terrible duties, a little goods

How shops try to influence customers

Adverts, lower prizes, competitions, special offers – summer or winter reductions (slevy), customer can taste the food or try to drive a car, close-out-sales, special gifts for buying something. They put the most expensive things in the height of your eyes and cheaper goods somewhere down so you see the most expensive things first.

Shopping in our country x GB

Czech Republic

  • in the Czech Republic there are more possibilities for private shops and duties after revolution in 1989
  • shops aren’t only Czech, but also foreigner companies discovered our market for their business, we can meet with many foreigner shops (Makro, Bauhaus, Kauflland, Salamander...)
  • our businessmen have to count with a big competition from abroad. It could be good for customers, because the Shopkeepers must keep the prices low.
  • we can buy cloth in the boutiques, but there are all kinds of cloth very expensive, because those are originals
