Introduction – Fruit and Veg stall (Trainer copy)
Trainer to ‘play’ the part of a fruit and veg market stall holder. Give out a number of ‘questions’ on separate slips of paper/card to selected tutors in the audience.Trainer to give brief introduction eg “Morning all, lovely day, you’re in the right place – best fruit and veg in town, picked fresh this morning, roll up, roll up, what can I do you for?”
Take each question in turn.
CAN I HAVE A BAG OF POTATOES PLEASE – HALF A KILO? No problem, here you go. Who’s next?
SOME PORK CHOPS PLEASE – Does this look like a meat counter, what does it say up there (pointing up) –fruit and veg, the meat stall is round the corner, second on the left.
3 LEMONS PLEASE – Oh so sorry, not often I have to say this, but my supplier let me down this morning, no lemons, but I can do limes – if you want something citrusy they work just as well
WHAT ARE THOSE TOMATOES AT THE BACK, LABELLED IMPERFECT? They are just past their best so I can do a whole bag full for 50p, but I don’t want you coming back next week saying they were squashy, that’s why they’re labelled imperfect.
I’M IN A HURRY AND CAN’T STOP NOW, WHAT DAYS ARE YOU HERE? Every Tuesday, all day 8 til 4.
CAN I HAVE A LATTE TO GO PLEASE? You certainly can love, but not from me, that’s the stall next door.
MUSHROOMS PLEASE – THE SPECIAL OFFER, BUT I WANT 6. Well the special offer is 4 for a £, so you can have 4 or 8, but not 6. Maybe someone else will share a bag with you.
I’D LIKE A PLASTIC SHOPPING BAG PLEASE TO PUT THIS LOT IN. Only brown paper bags here I’m afraid – you have to bring your own if you want to use anything else.
