When you reach two o’clock p.m. you immediately start to feel sleepy and very irritable. If it was the weekend you could easily go lay down and take a nap but when you’re at school or running around at work you typically reach for the next best thing - coffee.

While my job isn’t the best; it’s better than nothing. Working in the past eight months at Rite Aid, I’ve seen employees come and go at least once a month. My job title is “Sales Associate”. This merely doesn’t describe all my responsibilities. They range from receiving new merchandise on Mondays and Thursdays, which what we call ‘truck night’ to mopping the floor of pharmacy before I am able to call it a night. We are understaffed and consequently, I am overloaded with duties and by the time the morning comes, I am exhausted to the point where I am unable to concentrate in school. During the eight months, the majority of the Monday and Thursday nights, it has been the Night Time Assistant Manager and I. this is basically two people single

I graduated high school back in 1994. I was engaged to be married in just two years, and even though I joined the Pennsylvania Air National Guard right after graduation it was only one weekend a month and two weeks out of the year. So I needed a full-time job. A friend of the family knew a guy who was opening a second store, and was going to need a store manager. I took the job and got started. What I didn’t know was the guy I was just hired to work for was a little confused as to what he wanted. I hung onto the job for a little over a year hoping it would turn around but, no dice.

Moreover, some key activities are shown regarding to time in the period from the beginning of 2011 until the end of this year.

I am excited about this assignment because I hate my job. I currently work as a CSR at Family Dollar. I started there about a week after school ended and I started hating it a week or so later. I kept the job because I get paid weekly and my hours are good. I also kept this job because its hard finding jobs when I return home for the summer. The work setting causes me stress. A poor relationship with my boss is the number one issue in this setting. The store has been through three assistant managers and four employees since I’ve began working there. The store manager is the main reason the company can’t hold on to workers. She is rude, lazy, and she over works you. The workload is overbearing and the time pressure makes it much harder. For instance, every task she gives is timed and she constantly nags about how long its taking you regardless of how hard the task may be. Putting out stock is timed, but the amount of time given to you is hard to make. I don’t mind working hard at a fast pace, but some of the tasks she requires is extreme. I worked at a previous family dollar and my task was four totes before my shift ended. She requires five totes an hour and says that’s company’s policy. She doesn’t help on register even if the line is long. She doesn’t help recover or do any stock, she doesn’t do anything, but dictate how you do your job. She doesn’t communicate well with others; most people see her as rude. As you can see the store manager is the problem with the stress at

Saturday afternoon I jump down from the tractor, splashing mud up my leg, coating my feet in unknown substances since I so naively decided to wear flip flops to work. I groan loudly, and gingerly climb into my truck to make my way home for lunch, glad I have a short day at work and can make my way home for a homemade burger. These have been my weekends for years, with the exception of winters where I am blessed enough to only have indoors work. My job at Windy Ridge Dairy has been time consuming and exhausting, yet beneficial. Full time in the summers and weekends during the school year, some weekdays, of work since 9th grade (summers since 7th) has been difficult, but I’ll never regret the traits such work has brought out in me.

With most of the world basically running on coffee, you have more and more different places to buy your coffee every day. Trying to narrow down your options to find the best coffee can seem like a nightmare. The two main and most popular coffee corporations to choose from would be Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks. When choosing a specific location from the two places for your coffee needs there are things to consider such as: price, quality and convenience. I, a 4-6 cups of coffee a day drinker,have had coffee from both places, and have become what you could call, a coffee expert.

It started bright and early Tuesday morning; I was scheduled to be at work at five. I had my morning cup of coffee, combed my hair, and donned the uniform that everyone looks so poorly upon. The shiny black shoes, the dark blue polo with poor circulation, and my trusty black hat and slacks. That outfit is the only reason I am able to pay my bills. I don't really mind my job, just so you know. I mean, it's an honest living.

In 1883 Bernard (Barney) Kroger invested 372 dollars that consisted of his life savings to open the first ‘Kroger’ grocery. That first store, located at 66 Pearl Street in downtown Cincinnati, would soon turn into the giant retail chain that consists of nearly 2,500 stores all over the country and most recently produced sales of over 76 billion dollars. Barney Kroger was revolutionary in the formation of the modern grocery, in that he was the first grocer to have his own bakery, as well as selling meat and other groceries all under one roof. Kroger was also the first to manufacture the products that he in turn sold in his own store. This was the beginning of what is today one of the largest food manufacturing companies in America.
