[Speaking] Talk about that kind of work done in bookstores
I work at a medium-sized bookstore located in front of a school. We get a lot of business and are busiest in March and September at the start of a new school term. Our bookstore stocks national textbooks for elementary school, so we get a lot of inquires about textbooks. We also have a lot of customers looking for supplementary material for middle and high school, as well as after-school exercise books.
In the mornings I usually take stock of delivered books and organize them. In the afternoons, I pick up exercise books from my suppliers and organize them. I also send texts to customers if we have taken delivery of books that they reserve.
We have started offering some books at a discount of 10%. For exercise books, we issue membership numbers and offer reward points rather than discounts.

저는 학교 앞에 위치한 중형서점에 근무하고 있습니다. 주로 신학기가 시작하는 3월과 9월에 손님이 가장 많고 분주합니다. 저희 서점은 초등 국정교과서를 갖추고 있어서, 교과서를 찾는 문의가 많습니다. 그 밖에도 중고등학교 부교재나 방과후 문제집을 찾는 고객들도 많습니다.
오전에는 주로 배송된 책들의 입고를 확인하고 정리합니다. 오후에는 거래처에서 문제집을 가져와서 정리합니다. 그리고 예약된 책이 입고되었으면, 고객들에게 문자도 보냅니다.
저희 서점은 일부 단행본에 한해서 10% 할인을 하기 시작했습니다. 문제집은 할인 대신에 회원번호를 발급하여 포인트를 적립해드리고 있습니다.

[Dialogue]
A: Do you have this book on this screen?
B: Just a sec. We don't have it in stock at our store right now.
A: Is there any way I can get my hands on it?
B: Let me check if one of our suppliers has it.
A: Thank you.
B: If they don't have it, we'll have to put in an order again. That could take a while.
