At the checkout

The cashier asks, "Do you have a rewards card?" — say "No, I don’t" or give your number.

At the pharmacy counter she smiled and asked, "Do you have a rewards card with us today?"

They bag your groceries and ask, "Paper or plastic?"

Without looking up, the bagger mumbled, "Paper or plastic?" and waited.

It’s just one thing — I don’t need a bag, thanks.

I already have my tote, so I don’t need a bag this time.

The nearest ATM is blocks away, so can I get cash back here instead?

The shelf tag was yellow — is this on sale?

I saw it in the weekly flyer; is this on sale until Sunday?

There’s no sticker on these apples — could you do a price check before I pay?
