to reserve an item · to ask a store to keep an item for you temporarily
You've stumbled upon the perfect item, but you're not quite ready to commit to buying it, or maybe you need to consult a friend. 🤔 This expression is your secret weapon! 💪 It's how you politely ask a store to keep that coveted item safe for you for a short period.
💡 **Pro Tip!** Most stores have a limit on how long they'll hold an item, typically 24-48 hours. When you're making the request, it's always smart to ask, "How long can I put this on hold for?" or "What's your hold policy?" Being polite and clear always helps! 🙏
When would you typically use 'to put something on hold'? A. 🛍️ When you have bought an item and want to return it. B. 🛒 When you want the store to keep an item for you to pick up later. C. 👕 When you are trying an item on in the fitting room.
