Shopper: Hi, I am looking for a gift for my wife. Do you have any perfume recommendations? Staff: Of course! Our best-selling perfumes are in this section. This one by Chanel is very popular, and we also have a new exclusive airport edition by Dior. Shopper: How much is the Dior one? Staff: It is eighty-five dollars, which is thirty percent cheaper than in regular stores. That is the duty-free advantage. Shopper: Great, I will take it. Can I also get two boxes of chocolates? Staff: Certainly. These Swiss chocolates are twelve dollars each or two for twenty. Shall I gift wrap everything? Shopper: Yes, please. Do I pay in dollars or local currency? Staff: We accept both, as well as all major credit cards. Since you are on an international flight, this purchase is completely tax-free. Shopper: Perfect. Here is my card.
