Reading
Was upon a time people exchanged products to obtein what they needed, after that, peoplehad to travel to oher places to exchanged their products because in otres locations there was clothes and other groceries that they didn't produce and made places named foreing markets. In the future, people invent the coin or the cash to pay and buy their things. Today it is organizated in places called supermarket that have an organization, hace racks, barcode reader, check-out counter, differents product in the same place like groseries, home appliances, beauty products, and sone service like pay domestic services.
But not everyone is thrilled with the supermarkets. Remember the time when life was less hectic and people went to the local shopkeepers, butchers or greengroceres and met and talked with neighbors, as well as with the grocer or himself. But it is unlikely that the local merchant's days will come back. The supermarket today is very convenient for busy people who are always in a hurry.
