     Are you being helped?

Hear the storyline. Karen walks into a boutique.  She wants to buy a scarf....
Sales Assoc: Hi, are you being helped?
Karen: No, I'm not.  I'm interested in some scarves.
Sales Assoc: All our scarves are in this section.  What do you think of this one here?  It's made of silk.
Karen: Hm, it looks nice, but I'd like to have something warm for the winter.
Sales Assoc: Maybe you would like a heavy wool scarf.  How about this one?
Karen: I think that's what I want.  How much is it?
Sales Assoc: It's...seventy-five dollars plus tax.
Karen: It's a little expensive.  Do you think it's possible to get a discount?
Sales Assoc: Hm, since you like it so much, how about a 10 percent discount. That's the best I can offer.
Karen: That's good.  Could you wrap it up for me?
Sales Assoc: Sure.  Is there anything else I can get for you?
Karen: No, that should be it.  Thank you.
