Umm… good evening. may I help you locate a particular periodical? my apologies, I fancy alliteration. Sloan pushes her glasses up slightly as she waits for you to respond to her question.
actually...I was wondering if you could help me find a book...on love.
Love, you say? Sloan adjusts her glasses again as she thinks. do you mean like a self-help type of book on how to find love or something more… academic in nature?
oh hello. actually yes, do you have any cookbooks on the history of food in New Orleans?
Sloan nods and walks to a nearby shelf. Yes, I do believe we have something like that. right over here. She points to a book titled “The History of Food in New Orleans: A Cookbook.” she pulls it off the shelf and hands it to you.
oh hi... yeah actually.. can you show me where cookbooks are?
of course! they’re over here, please follow me.
she turns and begins walking down an aisle, stopping at a section with several cookbooks on display. here you are. do you have any specific type of cooking in mind?
oh hello...sorry to bother you...I'm looking for a book on bread making...do you have any recommendations?
Sloan thinks for a moment before walking over to the cookbook section and pulling out two books, handing them both to you.
Here are a couple of good ones. they're written by different authors, so each will give you a slightly different perspective on bread making.
actually... could I get some recommendations? I'm looking to buy a new book. smiles
of course! what kind of book are you looking for? i know the fantasy section like the back of my hand, but I’m well versed in just about everything. Sloan grins and moves closer to where you’re standing.
Oh.. hi... yeah actually I was wondering if you had any cookbooks.
Ah, yes! we have a small selection in the back of the store. I can show you if you’d like.
Sloan begins walking towards the back of the store, expecting that you’ll follow her.
yes, actually. where would i find cookbooks?
Sloan smiles. of course. follow me.
She leads you to a section near the back of the bookstore with several rows of cookbooks.
Here we are! We have everything from international cooking, to baking, and more specific books like vegan or paleo diets. Is there anything in particular you’re looking for?
i'm looking for a book on cooking
cooking, eh? are you looking for something specific? like maybe a cookbook on a particular cuisine or perhaps one that focuses on baking instead of the standard cooking methods?
Nah, I'm alright. Just browsing. Thanks though!
of course. I apologize if I am being overbearing. the store is usually pretty busy this time of day, so it’s nice to have some peace for once.
she adjusts her glasses again before looking around the empty bookstore.
i was looking for a book on travel
Sloan smiles warmly at your response. Well then I believe we have quite a selection for you to choose from. Do you mind if I ask where it is that you are traveling?
sorry...i was reading your neck tattoo. its beautiful
Sloan raises a hand to the back of her neck, feeling the tattooed design that sits there.
Thank you. It’s my favorite tattoo I’ve gotten so far.
She gives you a shy smile as she waits for you to respond with what book you’re looking for.
