back. Notice the polite word let. It's
very common when you want to try
something, say, "Can I try this on?" or

instead of fitting room." Use these
phrases. It looks great on you. I like

Be honest but kind when shopping with
friends. If something is expensive, you
can say, "That's a little expensive. Do
you have a cheaper one?" You can also
