    I wanted to know if just smiling at someone, you could get them to genuinely smile back, maybe even make them a little happier inside. This is not, I learned, something I could test at home in the United States. I have found that it is a cultural norm to be pleasant, polite, and to smile to everyone in the United States.

    A few months ago at my job, The Children’s Place in the North Shore Mall, I had a customer asking for a particular brand for children’s workout apparel. After I told her we did not carry the brand she was looking for, she was very upset. She was convinced that this brand had quality worth the extra money she spent, which was a lot. I offered her the option to just look at the clothing we offered, but it was not up to par with what she was used to getting. In the end, she bought the clothing from The Children’s Place because she desperately needed gym clothes for her daughter the following day.…

    Annoying Shoppers

    • 1072 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Grocery shopping can be a very interesting experience. It seems like nothing more than a quick and easy chore at first. You go in, throw whatever you want into your cart, pay and then get out. Its almost relaxing, that is if the grocery store is completely empty. Unfortunately, there are always those other shoppers. The ones who think they own the place or something. They’re in just about every grocery store in America. You know who I’m talking about, that one parent- usually a mom- with a kid who just so happens to be screaming bloody murder. Also, everyone knows a bad cart driver when they see one, not to mention the label readers. And finally, probably the worst of them all, the Couponers. If you’re like me and you like to get your grocery shopping done as fast and productive as possible, these four shoppers are your worst enemies.…
