2. Read the following paragraph and underline the topic sentence. Most people think that being a department store salesperson is not a difficult job, but from my experience I know that it takes time, effort, and patience to be successful. Once you have helped the customers, you have to ring up and bag the merchandise, then be sure to thank them. You also have to help with displaying the merchandise attractively, with putting out new lines, with taking inventory, with keeping stock organized, and with keeping the counter area clean and tidy. You have to know what is in stock and what needs to be put out. Then, too, a salesperson must be courteous when a customer is unreasonable and demanding. As you can see, a salesperson does more than just stand around and ring up others.
