City people are always busy.They are always in a hurry.That’s why they like supermarkets.You can buy things easily and quickly in a supermarket.If you want something.you just put it in your cart(手推车).You don’t ask “How much does it cost?”The price is on all the cans and packages.
Then you take your cart to a checkout counter(收银台).The customers(顾客) in a supermarket do not usually talk to anyone,and they never bargain(讨价还价) over the prices.They just pay their money and leave. People do not usually spend much time in a supermarket,but they often spend a lot of money there.
In many parts of the world, shopping is very different from this. People spend a lot of time at the market,but they don’t spend much money there.
In a market in the Middle East,for example, people meet their friends and talk together.They look at the things very carefully, and they bargain over the prices. “What?”they say. “That’s too much. I can’t pay the price!”It is like a game.The customers and the market people enjoy it.Shopping in this kind of market is often slow,but it can be fun.
