单选题European retailers are busy preparing the supermarkets of the future for shoppers from the past. The average age of European shoppers has already started its spectacular rise: from 38 today to 52 by 2050. This demographic shift is the direct result of the combination of increased longevity and lower birthrates. In some European Union countries, as much as one third of the population will be over 50 by the year 2015. So how will supermarkets cater to their ageing clientele? In Vienna, the German company Adeg Aktiv thinks it may have found the answer. Their new superstores, Like the one the company is currently piloting, will feature some intriguing innovations; products will be Labeled in larger print, shelves will be Lower to provide easy access and shopping carts will have fold down seats to give tired shoppers an instant break. The employees will also be selected from an older age group, the over-fifties. That fits nicely with the store's new 50+ trademark. Just how successful the new concept will be remains to be seen but there are some very positive signs; more than half of the customers in the pilot store are actually under the age of fifty. They were simply attracted by the shopper-friendly design of the stores and by the high standard of customer service.

Let her know if you have any ideas for the gift. Thanks. Ping To: Ping Lai From: Gertrude Gerlak Subject: Re: Retirement party Hi Ping, Yes, I need a ride. Thanks for the offer. I went to the Lotus restaurant last month for my birthday. It's a great place. I don't mind leaving here early, and I'm happy to help with the decorations. Alex needs a ride, too, if you have enough room in your car for all of us. Do you need me to buy any decorations? Why don't we leave thirty minutes earlier than you said? That way we're sure to have enough time to do some really nice decorating. I'll be in a meeting tomorrow afternoon, but it should be over well before we have to leave. I think a digital camera would be a great gift. Tell Rae I'll pick one up tomorrow during my lunch hour. I know where I can get a great price on one. She can give me the money later. Gertrude
