Dialogue 6. KEEP THE RECEIPT IN THE SAFE PLACE.

John is very happy to buy a Blue Tooth at a pretty good price. When he checks out at the register, he asks the cashier about the return policy....

Cashier:	Is there anything else you would like to buy?
John:	No, thank you. I guess that's it. By the way, in case there's a defect in this Blue Tooth, can I return it?
Cashier:	Yes. But you must return it within 30 days.
John:	Is there a charge for that? I know other stores have a re-stocking fee.
Cashier:	There will be no charge at all. However, you must show us the receipt. (The cashier is handing the receipt over to John for him to sign.) Could you sign it here, please?
John:	Thank you.
Cashier:	All right. Keep your receipt. If something comes up, you can show it to us and we'll give you a refund.
John:	Thanks. I'll put it in a safe place.
