Bob does his shopping during his lunch hour. After a quick lunch, he goes to the supermarket in the new shopping centre. He walks around putting the things he needs in a basket. He always writes a shopping list of things he needs to buy, but he often forgets to look at it. When he looks for some coffee on the shelves, he can't find any: an assistant tells him they have run out of coffee.

When he has finished his shopping, he has to join a queue at the check-out. When it's his turn to pay, he asks the cashier for a plastic carrier bag. She checks the prices on the items and rings them up on the cash register/till. Then she tells him the total, and he pays in cash. She gives him the receipt and his change. As he is putting his change away he finds his shopping list, still in his pocket.
