Taco Bell-Personal Narrative
As we stumbled into the line of the Taco Bell off of 41, I popped an Altoid in my mouth, hiding the vigorous scent of Fireball Whiskey. Next to me, our safety is rocking back and forth as a sweat trickled down his forehead.
The four of us stepped into line. The lady in front of me flinched as I overstepped and slightly crushed the corner of her clogs and her big toe. Leisurely, I backed out of line, to complete my task, returning moments later. Time froze in anticipation.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
My foot continuously spazzed as I ordered my burrito.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
The worker behind the greasy, black counter slid my burrito over me, meanwhile everyone turned as a woman’s screams filled the room.
“Someone call 911, my husband's not breathing.”

My eyes wandered around until they met with the blanched, soon to be widow. Coldly, I stared into her vibrant blue eyes, until she broke the contact, attention going back to her husband.
In the corner of the chain restaurant, a man was sitting on the booth, but as I looked up to see his face, there was a purply tone and veins that seemed to be surfacing on his face.
The store became hectic as the manager sprinted in attempt to help the man in the suit. A worker began the heimlich, but the man continued suffocating.
People from all directions were attracted to him like moths to a light, but the women seemed to gravitate towards the wife, to comfort her. A couple of ladies were holding hands with the victim's wife. Even though they were strangers, people were gathering together in unity, grasping onto each other in hugs, as tears were shed.
I’d been so absorbed in watching the chaos spread like wildfire that I forgot that I still hadn’t began to eat my

    I am a coupon person. I love coupon via mobile and with limited information. I just brought a piece of furniture that normally cost $3800 and I got this furniture for $1200 from JCPenny’s. I don’t really look for coupons unless I am going to that store. I must admit that I love on particular fast food chain named, Chick-Fil-A. I actually look for those coupons. I have received free minis, and other free things from Chick-Fil-A. At the same time, I carry Michael Kors products, which represent a particular status. I have a $400 dollar purse that I only paid $100. I even have a Michael Kors cell case, but no-one can tell it is a Michal Kors, but it make me feel a certain way. So, I am not sure what type of consumer behavior that I demonstrate.…

    Managing to break free from my mother’s grasp, I charged. With arms flailing and chubby legs fluttering beneath me, I was the ferocious two­ year old rampaging through Costco on a Saturday morning. My mother’s eyes widened in horror as I jettisoned my churro; the cinnamon­sugar rocket gracefully sliced its way through the air while I continued my spree. I sprinted through the aisles, looking up in awe at the massive bulk products that towered over me. Overcome with wonder, I wanted to touch and taste, to stick my head into industrial­sized freezers, to explore every crevice. I was a conquistador, but rather than searching the land for El Dorado, I scoured aisles for free samples. Before inevitably being whisked away into a shopping cart, I…

    Lili’s reaction to Guy’s death was not how a typical wife would react when witnessing her husband’s death. She did not run towards her husband’s body but instead slowly walked towards him and just examined the body in deep thought. Lili lacked shock as if she understood why he did it or was even expecting it Guy’s actions. Her last words when asked if she wanted Guy’s eyes closed she replied “No, leave them open. My husband, he likes to look at the sky” (Danticat,157). Lili realized that Guy had finally found his freedom and that living did not mean he was alive.…

    I will never say that I regret going to Waffle House; I do not. It was one of the best times that I have ever had. My friends are so goofy and wild that anytime with them is never boring. I also connected with Leo, which was amazing. We laughed, cried, and talked about everything and nothing. It turned out that we had a lot of things in common; we liked the same music, books, and even paintings. Also, I found out that he was very open-minded and kind; two qualities that are very important to me. The whole night with my friends and him felt movie-like and I will never forget it. I think that it was a good experience to…

    As a Chinese-American, my family expected me to help out at the restaurant while maintaining straight A's in school. But, it wasn't easy; every day, I would report to the restaurant after school and immediately start working. Inside the kitchen, I would pack all the orders into aluminum containers, place them into a brown bag, and insert packets of sauces and utensils. Burns and cuts were common due to the terrible and tearable aluminum containers. Outside at the front desk, I would answer the seemingly endless ringing phones. In many instances, customers had to wait either on the phone or at the front desk for me to find their orders on the computer, even after they showed me where it was on the menu. During lunch hours, the pressure was even…
