Although everyone has different communication habits, if you want to keep the conversation short when shopping, the following suggestions may help you: 1. Express your needs in simple and clear language. For example, you can simply say hello when you enter the door, and then directly say what you want to buy, and avoid extending the topic to other topics. 2. Be polite but concise. When the clerk greets you, you can use a short answer such as "Hello" or "Thank you", etc., without too much discussion. 3. Take the initiative to end the conversation. If you feel that the other party is talking too much, you can say "Thank you, goodbye" after completing the payment, and then leave in a natural tone. 4. Pay attention to non-verbal cues. Smiling, nodding or maintaining eye contact at the right time can convey your goodwill, and you don't have to communicate repeatedly. 5. Respect the other party. The clerk may only communicate with the customer out of politeness and service awareness. Being polite can avoid embarrassment and effectively convey your intention to just make a simple purchase. In short, the key is to maintain basic politeness and clearly express your needs in simple language, thereby reducing unnecessary conversations. I hope these methods can help you.
