Dennis: Insane Questions And Answers

12. If you were to talk with the author, what would you ask him or her?

There are multiple details that stood out as particularly true to life in my view. One was the nariartator that it is telling the story/ his view point main character mentions what check out aisle number. It mentions how the three girls looked. The character payed attention to how the girl that seem to be the leader was walking saying “she came down a little hard on her heels, as if she didn’t walk in her bare feet much” this quote helps you picture how the person and might help picture what the girl was walking like. He gave details to where he was and what he was doing when the three girls was doing. He mentions that “I’m in the third check-out slot with my back to the door so that I didn’t see them until they had reach the bread” this helps the reader to set up an mental image of the store as they are reading.

If a member was having a problem of any kind, I had to be able to place myself in his or her shoes, and understand that he or she was paying a lot of money to be a member, and a result they deserved to receive the best service possible. Working with customers also helped me realize that the way you conduct yourself in all settings leaves an impression upon people, which was a valuable lesson in developing my character.

What effect did the author intent for his readers to have through the rhetorical questions on page 336?

A&P is described to be, “...five miles from a beach...but we’re right in the middle of town...north of Boston…” (Updike 19). Sammy’s description of the A&P present the setting as an ugly and boring place to be in. The fluorescent light is as cool as the “checkerboard green-and-cream rubber-tile floor”(Updike 19). The everyday grocery shoppers move in the same direction except for the girls in the swim suits, for they move against everyone else, and everything is organized into perfection along the tidy aisles. This degrading routine in this establishment is implied by Sammy’s careless reference to the usual shoppers as “sheep,” “houseslaves,” and “pigs” (Updike 18). These frequent customers seem to walk the store in oblivion to everything else around them; as Sammy points out, “I bet you could set off dynamite in an A&P and the people would by and large keep reaching and checking oatmeal off their lists…” (Updike 18).

Begging the question: (meaning assuming the initial point), is a logical fallacy in which the writer or speaker assumes the statement under examination to be true.

The difficulty with this particular sales scenario is that there is no real objection from the potential customer; therefore, he does not see a need to make a real change at this time. Nevertheless, the prospective purchaser did make mention of delivery hours assuming he could maneuver through the delivery obstacle, it is possible to consider the customer was leaving the door open for Ron to ask more questions. In such a selling situation where the likely buyer may not even be aware of an existing problem, it would be wise for Ron to utilize the “spin strategy” approach. By asking a series of qualifying questions, the customer’s answers may offer crucial information that Ron can use to detect the prospective buyer's needs. In doing so, the client may very well identify a problem. Ron should continue asking questions that will help the customer see the full effect of the issue to be resolved

Sammy is stating that the customers are so into their own world that nothing can keep them from straying from the norm. Without disruptions in life people tend to keep their heads down and just keep going. It ponders the questions if one day they will ever lift their heads up and wonder how they even got

The reader hitches a ride on Sammy’s train of thought in “A&P”, as he chronicles the event of the three striking beauties that honor the store with their quasi divine presence. In his thinking, he develops a narration of their lives and thinks

Ron will be concluding his training in taking up the new assignment in the new downtown area. He is going to be faced with questions that are of the customers in the new area. Christine, the sales manager is going to be working with him and is going to put forward all the questions to Ron. Ron is mentally preparing himself on how to take up such questions from the new sales manager and how to respond to the same. He also mentally prepares for how to encounter such objections. Mid-Town is a regional distribution office and they have a wide range of products with close to 11,000 quantities. Ron and his team with the sales manager have to develop at least the basic knowledge regarding all the products. The competition is also dreadfully high in that area. The company delivers all the internet orders by 4pm positively by the next day, however the competitors do better than that. The customer base at Mid-Town is also extremely different from the other areas that Ron has worked in therefor, he has to get himself accustomed to

Do you know the definition of insanity? It’s “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. Many people roll through life thinking like this, thinking that what they do is a waste of their lives by expecting change yet never taking action. But there is a solution in Jack Canfield’s and Kent Healy’s book. The Success Principles for Teens: How to Get From Where You Are to Where You Want to Be “is a road map whether your goal is to become a better student, athlete, start a business, make millions of dollars, or simply find guidance or direction”. I believe that Canfield and Healy accomplish this by giving advice for certain situations and advice to keep you on track to success through their success principles.

I honestly question whether, as a country, we have progressed from where we were hundreds of years ago. Our current situation is terrifying, and it seems that it is only going to keep getting worse. Evidence of this decaying acceptance of culture is seen in the current presidential race. We have a racist, overtly rich and misogynistic man running for the republican candidacy. Donald Trump is currently taking everything this country has worked for in terms of erasing the stigma of race and religion and throwing it in the garbage. The only comparison I can truly draw from Trump’s absurd ideas is that he believes something akin to the principle Adolf Hitler followed in fascist Germany. He is threatening to ban the muslim faith, eradicate

Michael’s overall layout and design encourage customers to purchase their products. As you walk into the store, the customer is given some space in order to slow down their walking pace. The cash registers are located to the left, while cheap impulse products are located to the right of the entrance. After customers passed those items, they tended to slow down about a quarter of the way into the store. It was apparent that Michael’s was aware of this trend, because they placed their big ticket merchandise products in the middle of the store. These items were visible to customers as they entered the store, and customers often stopped to examine them. After the big ticket merchandise, customers walked in different directions. Customers

To better understanding the customers, Mr. Selig asked Mrs. Wendy Lamberg, Director of planning, to select a sample of customers and prepare a report. To begin, she has appointed a team of us. Then, we started by selecting a random sample of 60 customers. In

At 4:30 p.m. on December 6, 2010, Meredith Collins, VP of Marketing for Reed Supermarkets, walked down the sidewalk of the 10-store strip mall that housed Reed’s Westgate Plaza branch in Columbus, Ohio. Collins didn’t shop; instead she took mental notes about store traffic, first at the Reed store and then at an indirect but increasingly worrisome kind of competitor—a dollar store. The Reed was predictably well lit and inviting, and Collins could see three registers open and two or three customers in line at each. “Not too bad” she thought, “but not what I would hope for at this time of day, this close to the holidays.” She’d felt the same way at two other Reeds
