أو ممكن تختصروا هذه القطعة It's a scene we all know well. Shoppers walk through street markets to choose their fruit and vegetables for the day. They give their choices to the shopkeeper. He weighsthem on old brass scales and gives change from an old wooden drawer. All the time he is talking to friends and other customers, and advertising his goods loudly. Further on, in the meat market and the fish market, or in a small shop full of tinned goods, you will see similar scenes. They are part of Saudi Arabia's tradition: a wellknown way of life.But today the scene has changed-in Riyadh, in Jeddah, in the Eastern Province- everywhere in the Kingdom. In fact, nothing shows the changes in Saudi life more clearly than the appearance of the huge supermarkets. In these, customers step through the entrance and immediately see thousands of products under hundreds of lights. A big supermarket may have between 6,000 and 8,000 different items on its shelves. There are European and American vegetables, fruit from the Far East, meat like beef, lamb and veal from Australia, New Zealand and Holland, Saudi dairy productsand bread, and freezers full of food from all over the world.The workers in these supermarkets come from all over the world, too. Filipino, Indian and Bangladeshi employees help customers, put food on the shelves and operate the check-out counters. Saudi, American, German and British managers all work together. But are these huge stores only for the expatriates in the Kingdom? Do Saudi’s really want to shop like this or would they prefer the more traditional way of shopping? Can these hugesupermarkets continue to be successful? The owners think they can. They say that food prices stay down because of competition between the supermarkets. Most Saudi families now live in the cities and have cars. This makessupermarkets with their large car parks and one-stop shopping very convenient. In addition, supermarkets have become shops ping centres smaller, specialized shops have been built around their car parks. Now days, they also sell more traditional, local foods as well as international products. All these things attract the Saudi shopper. The owners believe that the supermarket is here to stay.
