When we go shopping (or do shopping or go to the shops), we can go either to a big department store or to the shop which specializes in some extra goods, e.g. the greengrocer specializes in fruit and vegetables, the butcher in meat, the baker in bread and cakes, the tobacconist in cigarettes and tobacco, the confectioner or sweet shop on sweet and ice-cream, the fishmonger in fish, the florist in flowers, the newsagent in newspapers and magazines, the men’s wear and women’s wear in clothes and dresses, the lingerie in underwear, the draper in cloths and bed-clothes, the wine-merchant in alcoholic drinks of all kinds, the ironmonger in metal goods (tools, pots, pans, nails etc.), the dairy sells milk products and eggs, the stationary sells paper products and office supplies, the jeweller sells jewellery, the toyshop sells various toys for children (dolls, teddies), the delicatessen sells some exclusive and more expensive food, the electrical appliances shop sells TV and Radio sets, fridges etc.
The most common shop in Britain is the grocer’s. He sells foods, such as tea, coffee, sugar, flour, butter, cheese, eggs, jam, biscuits, tinned foods and kitchen needs such as soap, detergents and polish. Another common shop is the chemist’s. you can buy medicines and ointments here but also toothpaste, combs, soap, cosmetics, razor blades, sunglasses, films or cameras. In America the chemist’s shop is called a drugstore and they sell any more things than the British chemist’s - they even have a counter where you can buy something to drink and eat.
All possible goods can be sold in various types of shops: food producing are usually bought in a self-service shop or a supermarket. The Supermarket is bigger and you can buy also goods from the chemist and ironmonger here. A hypermarket is very large and sells all possible kinds of food and kitchen and house needs. Street markets sell various things at stalls in the streets and squares.
A typical feature of modern big cities are big department stores which in London can be fund near the West End (e.g. Marks and Spencer, Selfridges, Harrods etc.). They are usually huge buildings equipped with speedy lifts and escalators, where you can buy almost everything from food to furniture. Here are, for example, some departments in a big store: Artist materials, Carshop, Boyswear, Girlswear, Beds and bedding, Electronics, Carpets, China and glass, Furniture, fashion Accessories, Gifts, Household, Lingerie, Sportswear, Toys, Stationary, Tv and Radio, Tobacco, Bookshop, Knitwear, Leather Goods, Laundry, Shows, Watches and Clocks. Big stores usually operate on the „serve-your-self“ system - you go in, pick up a basket or a trolley, walk around the shop and choose what you want. At the exit there is a cash-desk or a cashier where you pay for all your goods together either cash or with your credit card.
Credit cards are widely accepted. Unfortunately in our country payments by credit cards or cheques have not developed so well yet, we can only use our „Sporožiro“ cards and cheques issued by banks or savings bank, when we have an account, but only at some special places and for bigger purchases. In bigger cities, especially Prague, the shops accept foreign credit cards such as Visa Cards, American Express etc.
As for currency we may use banknotes or coins if we want to pay cash. (In our state crowns - 1 crown has 100 hellers, in GB pounds - 1L has 100 pennies, in the USA US dollars - 1 Dollar has 100 cents, in Canada Canadian dollars, in Australia Australian dollars etc.) Money you can earn, inherit, win, lend, borrow, steal or win in a bet. You may ask your bank to make regular payments from your bank account (if you have saved properly and money being hidden from you).
As for Czech shopping habits, an average Czech family goes shopping every day to a local supermarket for necessary food. Once a week they usually do one bigger purchase for the weekend and from time to time they have to buy clothes, shoes, household utensils and equipment. A real shopping rush happens before Christmas season when people try to buy nice and unique Christmas presents.
Since December 1990 large department stores have been opened, which has helped solve the situation a little. Also the street market works quite well here and many new private shops have been opened to the public. Such competition could improve shopping possibilities and keep customers more satisfied.
What goods could a foreigner visiting our country buy here for him/herself? We heard or were told by visitors from abroad that they could buy souvenirs from a street stall at the Charles Bridge in Prague or nice picture book about our country, a record or compact disc with Czech classical music (by Smetana, Dvořák, Janáček, Martinů - they are very popular abroad), cut glass, china, a piece of art, embroidery, dolls in traditional national costumes etc.
I and Shopping
My mother goes everyday shopping food. I like to shopping only when I buy something for me or some presents. I like to buy some clothes, cosmetic, music CDs or something that make me happy. But in Prague I don’t have to much pocket money so I buy when I’m abroad or I tell to my parents what to buy me as a present for birthday or Christmas. I like to buy clothes in Black Market, Mýrnyx Týrnyx or in Teranova. Presents buy I in Tesco or in smaller shops like White lily or other shops with small ceramic and present things. I spent my money for food, teaching aids, pohots, books and when I’m with my friends.
It is not easy to do shopping in Prague, because there are many people everywhere. Everything is very expensive and it is difficult to choose a good thing in a good quality. Moreover the shop assistants are not polite but lazy to advise (radit) you. It is usually better to do shopping in small shops, because there they have better choice and lower prices. Special things like electronics is better to buy in a special shop.
You can buy in expensive shops especially brand goods (značkové), these shops are good, because usually they have your size and the shop assistant must be polite. But there is a problem with t
