Fred:????????????? What is it?
Sylvan:????????????? I’ll hire(雇佣) some good-looking guys and girls to push the carts around and pretend they’re shopping.
Fred:????????????? Oh! So the real shoppers will see these attractive people using the carts and think, “Hey, if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for me!”
Sylvan:????????????? E 7. .
Fred:????????????? Hey! Maybe you could get one of the girls to greet your customers and encourage them to use the cart.
Sylvan:????????????? Great idea!
