The Big Stores of London
The big stores of London are vast buildings, many storyes high, equipped with speedy lifts and escalators, with well-planned lighting, ventilation and heating.
Departments are carefully named; “Budget Dresses” are really cheap dresses – but no customer likes to be a “cheap” shopper. “Mother to be” or “Lady-in-Waiting” will often be found instead of the conventional “Maternity Wear”. Then there are new words for the new trends in fashion – “Mix-and-Match”, “Unisex” which are used alongside the more old-fashioned names. “Ready-to-Wear”, “Haberdashery”, “Millinery”, “Gowns” and sometimes the words derived from the French – Mantles [ma:ntlz] for coats, “Layette” [lijεt] for baby-wear.
Another feature of London’s shopping life is the chain-stores, in which the goods are displayed up open counters. A wide variety of goods is offered-foodstuffs, household goods, clothing and stationary. These chain-stores have branches in most British towns of importance. For example, one very well-known firm of chemists has shops in many parts of London (and elsewhere); here you may buy not only medicines but also cosmetics and toilet supplies.
Most of the food stores, called supermarkets, operate on the self-service system: you go in, pick up a basket, walk round the shop and choose what you want. At the exit there is a check-out point, a cash-desk where you pay for all your goods together.
