(Inside the supermarket)

Lia: Hey Sofia, what a co-incidence!
Sofia: Oh hi, yes, it is. My mom is a regular. I usually do not visit the supermarket.
Lia: Is it? Ditto. My brother made a special request to prepare blueberry pie. And where else I can find the finest blueberries than here.
Sofia: That’s true. My mom buys fruits from here as well. They are always very fresh and crisp.
Lia: Hmm… that is the reason I’m here. By the way what are you looking for?
Sofia: Gouda cheese but it seems they have once again changed the position of food racks.
Lia: True, I am visiting after more than a month. And finding it difficult to scan items. It’s very confusing and time consuming.
Sofia: Finally, there it is. I found the cheese blocks.
Lia: Great, you carry on while I will go and pick a pack of blueberries.
Sofia: Okay.

(Few minutes later)

Lia: Hey Sofia, would you like to try some quinoa?
Sofia: Sure, but the last time I bought it was from xyz brand and was of poor quality. My mom was quite disappointed.
Lia: You should try abc brand. It is really superb. We always buy this one and we are pretty happy with it.
Sofia: In that case I will pick one for me too. I love quinoa but hope this one tastes good.
Lia: You will not regret. It tastes really authentic.
Sofia: Now that’s inviting.
Lia: Take my word for it. Besides, quinoa with salmon makes a divine treat.
Sofia: I did not know that.

Lia: It’s my favorite. You must buy tinned tuna from here, it’s available in different varieties. I’ve tried almost all. They all taste really good.
Sofia: I’m afraid but I cannot buy tuna as I’m allergic to it.
Lia: I see, never knew that.
Sofia: Taking precaution makes sense, you see.
Lia: Then you must try salmon.
Sofia: Hmm…, that sounds tempting. But where can I find salmon?
Lia: They are always stacked in aisle 12 on the first floor.
Sofia: Wow, I’m impressed. You seem to be knowing much about this store.
Lia: (laughs)
Sofia: What?
Lia: Nothing great, it’s just that I picked one for myself before I bumped into you.
Sofia: Ah, well. I had just begun wondering how could you be so well informed about the products in the supermarket.
Lia: I thought so. Anyways, I’m checking out as I’m done with the shopping.
Sofia: Please go ahead. I still need to buy few things. See you later.
Lia: See you soon. Bye.
