they're also very and then we then we do Lidel as the most know to for that it is a low pricchedia from Tyskland it's in many

lenders and it's also very in in Sweden so okay so so we go to the boutique

or so we go to the boutique We go we go to the but we go to the but we go to the butikers to the and then we go in in the butiken for to handle so how go it to to handle in a Swedish matvary boutique? First so, you need a Kundvang if you can handle much in all the if you not to handle so much,

then, then, then, instead of a condaigne. And, a condaigne, it is, you, that you're, that you're legger varer in. Yeah. A vara, it is, like,

like, some, a product, or an, one of the articles you gopire in the boutique, it is, like, an vara. And it's therefore we say, a mat-varybutit. also. So you

it's something to to lay the in, so you take a Kundvang or a cori and then so there's often an alternative

to do self-scanning. So you can take a scanner and so can you scanna your varor And then, and then, and you're not, and then, but you're not going to get it's going to scanning their own

vass. So, some people foredraar that not scanna self, and others think it's great-bara-shallelves. So, yeah, if it's a store boutique, so can you often value, if you will scanna, or not. Okay. In the butyken, there are different, a division, a division, an abdeling. And we have, to example, fruit and grunt. It usually be the first off-delning in the boutique. The first you see, it are, like, fruits and grun-sacers. Then we baggeri, and there,

you're you're, and buggler, and cackers, and so on the things. And, matvorebutticker, have often its own bagelie, where they bake, so, we have, to example, sharken, and in sharken, you're chut. We have a fisc-disc, also,

a disc with fish in. is, there is, there, there, there are the other products in, and there are personnel that, you take a number lap, you peaker on what you want to have, personnel and, you say, 500 gram, and they packer in it,

and so, so, that is, like, the manuals disc. And there is shirk section, there is fish, delicesses. So delicess or deli, there hittes, shirkutery products, saladers, faredi, rites, and so on. Also, then, in lousvict. Losevict, it means that you betalersalerer per weight. So it is not a price per product, but it is a price per kilo, to example.

And an another other enderning is meyeri. And meyeri, it is mjolk products. Mejorie products are mjerkproduct, so, to example, mjolk, yogurt, graddess, smear, such things. And there are,

and there are, but there are some examples. And, yeah, so, but what do if you not

hitter what you let after? Okay? So, so, you have to,

say, say to example, you, you, you letar after, egg and you hitter, then, then, then, then you, then you, someone in the personal,

also, a person who's there, someone in personal and you say to that person, "'Uruchta, "'where have you egg, "'n't you, can you "'where you have egg? "'Upsecta, can you be about where you have egg?

"'Upsecta, I'm not eggen, where have you eggen? So, and then, the personnel, you can go to Meijeri-avdelning and so, you can the eggen to hugher,

to example. So that are the different sections in the boutique and then we also a so-so-called fur-butitken is as a little separate in the same bigna, it's like a lot of matvureburtiggen, but it's like a little separate. And there can you, to example, fika, or you can

can help out from posten because it's so you can often out a packet or so can you to example buy lotter or

play on hester and so that can you do in for the book okay but now you have you have you

have you hitat all your vars and you can do beth. Okay, so, so, okay, okay, so, do you have handled clear, okay, dac's at go to cash and bethalla. So, you go to cashan, if you have self-scannatt, then setter you, your scanner in one of the

these hollasers, and so, and so, betal you, hell, You have no, you, you, you, you, you, you're self. If you not have scanned that then go to the cash and betal. So, you legger up all the varer on bandet, also the bandet

that, like, like, in the car sacksan. Here, here, a little, a little bit morely thing to be a bit of a lot of something, so, I don't know anything, so I don't have seen, no otherstance. And often, when I I'm people from other that it is little or little bit

or something so. So in Sweden is it that you're going that you make the

baron on the bandet with strack code upot so

the this you met the code the code with the bar code okay

we We're often varrored the up-up-so that it's lesser for personnel in the casser to scanna the varroa. Okay, not all

do that, but it is something that I learned me of my mom, to example, and some people often do for to, like, to do it and more effective for the

the carer in the we helper and we're trying and you're trying to be effective and so. And yeah person in the casaner varer

and you betal and taglily with court for in in Sweden so you betal you can blipa and you can blipa

blipa the correct. You must not want to all the scannada, but you can lay up all the varer, blipa the card and go directly and begin pack your varro. And it's almost always, like, two

sections in a casser, in an casser, so that you can to continue your while while the next while

and then so that there is two two, actually three sections so that you,

you have time, you have time to pack your varned while next person's

varor and that we're going to even have we like two people who packer some

varor, a third-a-a-a-a-a-person a third-person's barro burghur so that there is much place and that I think I

think I are not, it is not in Spainian so that I think it is good

and effective in Sweden and so, okay but what say you what say you

what phrases we? So. You come to the kassan, you begin, you're going to lay up your varro. And when it will be your turn, so you say, hey, so clear. You say hey to the person in the casan. And, to example, if you will have a poise, so can you say, can I have a poise also, thank. Can I get a poe also, thank?

can I can I, thank, or two poes are, yeah, a poece is you the you letger the baron in after you are done, after you have betalat. Yeah, a poe, or an casser, can you also see. And, yeah,

and then when all of varer are scanned so says, person in the casser, to example, 1027, thank. It will 1027, and sometimes

they're also are you medlem? So, are you medlem? So, it's, if you are, if you are in their

program or, what you can see. So, and then then on the card terminal and so is it and then

and then I ask the cash personal and will you have quittto so a quittto is the little paper's lappen where it's

where you have had had been what you have and what the price it is and so And if you And then, You say you, No, it's a great, thank.

Hey, so, It's a great, thank. This is an important phrase on Swedish. So, every gong, you don't want, you don't want to say

you, it's good. Okay? No, okay, or just, or thank. It's a great, no, it's a great, thank, okay, it's good, thank. It's a great, thank, okay, it's good, thank. It means, I will not have it. So we say, it's good, okay? So, yeah,
