You're at the register. This lesson walks you through the whole checkout: stating the total, asking whether the customer will pay by card or in cash, giving change, and offering a bag. In these examples, amounts are given in 日元 (Japanese yen). Detailed cashless-payment phrases come in Lesson 67.

Today's Grammar Point

Asking about payment: "A 还是 B" (building on Lesson 32)

When you need to confirm how a customer wants to pay, the either-or question word 还是háishi does all the work.

① 刷卡还是付现金？

"By card, or in cash?" The customer simply picks one: 我wǒ付fù现金xiànjīn (I'll pay cash) ／我wǒ刷卡shuākǎ (I'll pay by card).

您nín刷卡shuākǎ还是háishi付fù现金xiànjīn？Will that be card or cash?

② The checkout flow

一共yígòng…日元rìyuán (the total is … yen) → payment method → 找zhǎo您nín…日元rìyuán (your change) → 需要xūyào袋子dàizi吗ma？ (a bag?).

Note: The amounts here are in 日元 (Japanese yen). The word 块 refers to Chinese currency, so don't use it when quoting prices in yen.

Service tip: Slip in a 请稍等 (one moment, please) whenever you need a beat — it keeps the checkout calm and unhurried. Cashless options such as 扫码支付 (QR-code payment) are covered in Lesson 67.

06Practice
