Counter or aisle?
Hi teachers,
Do British or American English speakers use "on counter 3" to refer the location of an items at a supermarket? I learned usage of aisle here but a sentence I found on a video:
Customer: I'd like to buy some cereal, do you know where I can find it?
Employee: Yes, it's on counter 3. It's at the back. Near the diary section.
Thanks
