Working in a Shop in Spain
Help customers, handle the till, explain returns and sort out shifts with colleagues.
In Spanish shops staff usually address customers with tú, and turnos (shifts) run long because shops stay open until 9 or 10 pm. Bags cost a few cents, receipts are called el tique, and most chains give thirty days for returns. The cards follow one afternoon shift at a clothes shop.
