How are you? - Kak dela?
Nobody really says: "Kak u tyebya dela?" or "Kak u Vas dela?"
The formal phrase is: "Kak Vashi dela?" or "Kak poghivaete?" (more seldom)

Re: продавец продавщица
it is correct to say: "ona - prodavets", moreover it is a more polite way to say so, rather than to say "ona - prodavshchitsa", because the latter has a slightly negative connotation - the image of somebody who is called so - "a nervous, rude, impolite, not well educated wom...

Plus 'nechego' (the first syllable is stressed) is used in set expressions and phrases: Nechego bylo pytatsya (You should not even bother). I nichego ne znayu (...
