Can I help you?
Well. I'm looking for something I saw at a friend's house a few days ago.
What is it?
It's a light metal shelf.
You're in the right department, but we don't have them in stock now.
Oh, that's too bad. Are you going to be getting more?
They're on order, but I should warn you that the price has gone up.
Just my luck.
They were $12.50, but the new ones will be about three dollars more. Come in next week. We should have them by then.
OK. I will be back. Thank you.
