Clerk: Can I help you, sir?
Benjamin: I’m here for the backpack you announced several minutes ago.
Clerk: OK, take a seat please, sir. First of all, can you show me your ID please?
Benjamin: Sure. Here you are.
Clerk: OK, could you please tell me what your backpack looks like?
Benjamin: Of course, it’s a soft leather one, you know, not a sports one that looks childish.
Clerk: Mmm…does it zip closed?
Benjamin: No, it’s straps closed, and it has a buckle in the front.
Clerk: OK, can you tell me the distinguishing features of this backpack?
Benjamin: Oh, yeah, the brand name.
Clerk: So what’s it, sir?
Benjamin: Oh, it’s a Polo. It has the logo on the back and at the bottom in the left-hand corner.
Clerk: OK, can you name the items in it?
Benjamin: Well, all the gifts for my family, you know, two pairs of sneakers for my children and a bottle of perfume for my wife.
Clerk: OK, sir, I’m sure it’s your bag. Thank you for your cooperation. You can have it now.
Benjamin: Thank you so much. You guys are really responsible.
