Prompts for Grocery and convenience stores
A shop answers the same small questions all day — do you have this, can I return it, where is my parcel — and every answer has to be right the first time. These prompts write the stock messages, supplier emails, reorder lists and shelf-talk copy that keep a small shop running. Prices, stock counts and dates always come from you.
