       As I was walking to the market, The carts outside the market were jumbled and chaotic. The carts were near the entrance, and by the exit.

When i walked inside, The aroma smelt of wispy, stale yet fresh. The vegetables were to the right of the entrance, and the cashiers are to the left where there are more carts nearby. I walk in and see bananas, apples, bags of grapes, pears, and more fruits.  As i try to rummage around the market, trying to find items that i could purchase, I find the back of the store, with bread that cost $1. I grabbed the tongs attached to the bread box and grabbed a plastic bag rolled onto a small pole near the bread box and opened the small postern bread box door. And clutched the bread with the tongs. I laid the bread in the plastic bag, closed the postern door, and left the tongs hanging.

I pay for my bread at the register. The cashier scans the bread and clicks some keycaps on her computer. I placed the money on the counter and she lay hold of the money, unfastened the cash drawer, positioned the money in the cash drawer, then printed the receipt on the printer. I took the receipt from her hands and received a genial smile from the woman. Short hair, and small bangs, her hair was the color of a chestnut. Her eyes were a buff yellowish. And her smile was infectious. 

"Have a great day!"

I smiled at her and walked to the exit. The sliding doors opened and I left the market.
