At work Vocabulary

Question

Hey everyone, I recenty got a job at Home Depo in the Garden department, they said they were highly encouraged for people who felt comfortable in speaking other languages to apply.

I do feel very comfortable speaking in Spanish most of the time. yet, I don't feel like I know ways of talking while at work. Things such as:

"How may I help you" (and other variations of that)

"You can find that on aisle 3"

"We can have it delivered to you"

"If you buy one you get one free"

"we offer it at a discount of 20%"

And anything else you just might think of! Thanks in advance!

Good luck with your new job! - NikkiLR, May 31, 2014

Answer 1

I am not a native, but I guess I will try since nobody else has answered yet. :D

• ¿En qué puedo ayudarle? / ¿En qué puedo servirle? / A sus ordenes.

• Puede encontrar las mangueras en pasillo 3.

• Podemos enviarlo a su casa, oficina, etc.

• Si usted compra uno, el segundo le sale gratis, a mitad de precio, etc.

• Tiene un descuento de 20%. / Está en oferta.

Vocabulary list - It is for the supermarket, but it might be useful.

Thanks for the link Nikki. I think the point is trying to get people to learn by getting them involved in the learning process, not to just give them answers because to learn, you must make an effort. - rac1, Jun 1, 2014

In the third sentence try entregar instead of enviar. - gringojrf, Jun 1, 2014

Answer 2

Man the first thing I did when I was hired at a Deli was to go home and look up on a paper dictionary, that's right 20th century stuff and probably you don't know those anymore... :^) and look up all of the words that i could think of related to a deli/restaurant concerning cleaning tables, napkins spoons, forks, knives, mustard, mayonnaise, cold cuts of all kinds, their names etc...
