well, of course, salespeople have all sorts of calls, nothing special though, like 'buy socks, young people!', although it's not really possible to reflect that in english: for example, this typical phrase is a special form of imperative mode, which, grammatically, is in the first-person plural. and then, 'socks' or anything else would be in a 'diminutive-hypocoristic' form. in short, it's not possible to reflect that in english. we don't have butchers. we have stands/stalls or small shops for different sorts of food, for example a diary stall, or a meat stall. there's no difference between them apart from the product type, and most are run by hired saleswomen.
