Small issue with my coding in C using stdio.h

Question

I am currently working on a code and I keep having issues with my code. I will add it below, but for some reason, whenever I ask for the input, it skips over the second scanner and goes straight to the third. Does anyone know what the issue may be?

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    char a,b,c,d;
    printf("Please input the price of your shopping items:");
    printf("\n");
    printf("Item 1:");
    scanf("%c", &a);
    printf("Item 2:");
    scanf("%c", &b);
    printf("\n");
    printf("Item 3:");
    scanf(" %c", &c);
    return 0;
}
