W: Hi, morning! What's up?
M: Nice to see you on way to work.
W: I just read a curious fact.
M: What is it? I like curious things.
W: (1)__________________________________________.
M: Was it an article in the Morning News?I saw it, too. But think, if someone runs into a gift shop for ten minutes,it's usually to make a specific purchase. That's why they would just spend a short period of time.
W: And someone who spends more time there maybe just looking.
M: Exactly. Haven't you ever gone into a store thinking that you'd buy something, and then talk yourself out of it?
W: Yes, I have. Especially when I thought I could get it for less elsewhere,or I really didn't need it after all.
M: Exactly. (2)___________________________________________.
W: That's true. Maybe we should learn a lesson from that.Take your time and you'll spend less money. We always have to budget our money well.
M: I doubt if that would be true in all stores, though.In a department store, for instance,you may see a sweater or something you never intended to buy and buy it because you have time to look around.
W: That's sometimes true. (3)____________________________________.
M: Yes, you're right. Here we are! The office is nice and warm.
W: I'll see you soon. Have a nice day!
Did you know that people who spend less than 10 minutes in a gift shop on 5 times more likely to make purchase than those who spend half an hour there.
but if you run into buy something specific and have very little time you pick it up , pay for it immediately and then leave
