pair of
When you go into a store to buy shoes, say to the clerk, "I want a shoes". Don't say, "I want a pair of shoes". If you name a brand of shoes you know will give you satisfaction, you not only say you want shoes, but you know about what you want. A clerk will always give closer attention to a customer who knows what he wants. It is human nature. The clerk will be more likely to give you satisfaction, even if he does not have the make of shoes you ask for, because he will know better what to show you, if you are willing to consider another make.
