At a store

1- At the cashier

Which expression should I use to ask a person what they're going to pay their items with at the store?

How are you going to pay? (This one sounds a bit rude for me,'cause it gives the impression that I think you don't have the money to buy whatever you've chosen at the store)

What are you paying with?
What will be the way/method/mean of payment?

2- Asking for help

Let's say I really liked a pair of jeans and a t-shirt but they didn't fit me. How do I ask for these two items in my exact size?
Are these options correct?

Do you have these jeans in size 38?
Do you have this t-shirt in medium size?

Thanks in advance!

CliveDo you have this t-shirt in medium size? eg Do you have this in a medium,please?
So when talking about sizes I always have to put the ‘‘a’’ before it?
Also, what would the salesperson say? : We might have it in your size,
I'll check it for you / I'll take a look. are these two correct?

1. "How would you like to pay?" (remember to smile or it defeats the purpose).
and don't worry too much! just remember to be polite/smile at all times.. not like a maniac, but be pleasant...
As such, just ask.. "How would you like to do it Ma'am?" -Trust me, if you're not a native and are addressing a native, insolence won't be tolerated even if it was subtly apparent intended or unintend
