| portant table de fouille base OR stand for search table Explanation: As far as the 'portant' is concerned, I'm fairly sure; but I feel certain there must be a more specialized (and perhaps more euphemistic!) term for the searching aspect. Mind you, Fourth may not be wrong: it COULD be referring to one of those tables (with a low rim) where sales items are just dumped for customers to fish through; would probably make more sense than a special table just for searching people. |

dump basket on stand Explanation: The pictures are a definite match. (See links.) It's a basket for the customers to rummage through. It seems unlikely IMO that it would only be the base--but if you're sure, then simply remove "on". Reference: http://www.magequip.com/catalogue/02-79/equipement-magasin/t...

Bargain box stand Explanation: I was waiting for my own personal "retail" specialist to come home from work. It's a bargain box that shoppers do indeed have to rummage through. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2008-04-09 19:47:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A "Portant" is actually a rail. So "table" and "portant" don't really go together. It's probably one or the other : bargain box, or bargain rail. Most of your lists are written in "grande distribution" jargon. |
