magasin général Explanation: C'est ce que je propose. Ces magasins sont habituellement composé d'un grand comptoir auquel les clients commandent la marchandise désirée. Cela ressemble beaucoup à votre concept. Bonne traduction! |

1 hr confidence:
comptoir à provisions, kiosque, guichet Explanation: Puisqu'il s'agit d'un comptoir, pourquoi ne pas parler de comptoir à provisions, expression apparemment usitée au Canada? L'autre possibilité est qu'il s'agisse d'une échoppe dans laquelle le client ne peut pas pénétrer, telle qu'un kiosque, voire un simple guichet. On trouve fréquemment ce type de commerces dans les pays du tiers-monde. Reference: http://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&q=%22comptoir+%E0+provisio...

peer agreement (net): +1foyer / cantine Explanation: In British schools a tuckshop is not really a shop but part of the school. In French schools it would be called "le foyer" or "la cantine" but there is no real equivalent of the English tuckshop. |
