It is a very one-sided and unfair stereotype to generalize convenience store clerks as having little knowledge. Most convenience store clerks have basic service literacy and communication skills. However, if you want to minimize unnecessary complicated conversations when shopping, you can refer to the following suggestions： -** Prepare in advance** -**Make a shopping list**: Before going to the convenience store, make a list of the items you need to buy. In this way, you can directly follow the list of purchases when shopping, reducing the chance of communicating with the clerk. -**Understand the location of the goods**: If the convenience store is large-scale or has a complex layout, you can understand the location of the goods you often buy in advance through online maps, in-store posters, etc., so that you can quickly find the goods you need and avoid asking the clerk because you can't find anything. -**Efficient and concise communication** -**Directly explain the needs**: When communicating with the clerk, clearly and succinctly state the name or category of the product you want to buy, and avoid using vague or complicated expressions. For example, say “I want a 500ml bottle of Coke” instead of “the common kind of airy drink that is about this size.” -**Avoid small talk**: If the clerk takes the initiative to chat with you, such as asking “How are you doing today?" "Wait, you can respond politely with a sentence or two, such as “Not bad, thank you”, and then quickly turn the topic back to shopping, such as “I still need a box of chewing gum.” -**Complete the transaction independently** -**Self-service shopping**: Many convenience stores now have self-service cashier channels. If there are conditions, try to choose self-service checkout. Follow the on-screen prompts and scan the product barcode to complete the payment. There is no need to communicate with the clerk in the whole process. -**Prepare the payment method**: Determine the payment method you use in advance, such as cash, bank cards, mobile phone payment, etc., and prepare the corresponding payment tools in advance. Payment can be completed quickly at checkout, reducing communication time. For example, if you use a mobile phone to pay, open the payment software in advance, call up the payment code interface, and wait for the clerk to scan it. Even if it is easier to communicate with the clerk, please be polite and respectful. A smile and a simple "thank you” can make communication more enjoyable and smooth, and at the same time, it also shows your good literacy.
