Welcome to English as a Second Language Podcast number 875: Shopping at the Supermarket.

This is English as a Second Language Podcast episode 875. I'm your host, Dr. Jeff McQuillan, coming to you from the Center for Educational Development in beautiful Los Angeles, California.

Our website is ESLPod.com. On there, you can find our ESL Podcast store with additional courses in business and daily English.

This episode is a dialogue between someone who works at a grocery store, a store where you buy food, and a customer. Let’s get started.

[start of dialog]

Stocker: Can I help you find something?

Meg: Yes, I’m looking for coffee.

Stocker: That’s on aisle 3. Let me show you where it is.

Meg: Thanks. Hmm, I don’t see the Jitters brand that I normally buy.

Stocker: It looks like we’re out of stock. We should get another shipment next week.

Meg: Okay, I’ll check back. I’m also looking for the Fructose brand soda, but I didn’t see it in the soda aisle.

Stocker: I’m afraid that’s been discontinued. Their parent company no longer makes soda.
