Personal Narrative: Working At Giant Grocery Store

My first paying job was at the age of 16 for a brand-new Taco Bell with an all-girl crew. Now that I’m reminiscing of those times it brings back good memories of hard work and fun times with a new set of people (co-workers and customers). It was such a learning experience, for me personally having this job was a life saver and helpful money wise. I was a junior in high school and had a lot of extracurricular expenses that at that time my parents didn’t have the means to help with. It was challenging to keep up with my grades, afterschool programs and work but I made it happened with a lot of courage not to quit and learning time management. My parents were proud of me for keeping it all in control and not falling behind in my school work. Working at this fast food restaurant helped me with so much experience in customer service and hospitality.

Living on Earth can be expensive, but it does include free trips around the sun, not to mention free oxygen. Many things aren’t free to people which is why my mom prompted me to get a job. She got tired of investing her hard-earned money on my lavish needs. My first real job was a cashier for Chick-fil-A, in a food court at a local mall. Chick-fill-A is often merited for their service and food, but is still considered fast-food. As much as I dreaded working in fast food, it taught a considerable number of life lessons. Most importantly, Working at Chick-fil-A not only allowed me to understand personal self-growth through circumstances, but to value it.

Teens work to help them gain work experience for jobs that they will take in the future. “Clark is a 16 year old who talks about how working experience can help teens like him to succeed in their career” (“Africa News Service” 1). Working experience can build a sense of confidence for teens . “Many teens talk about how having a chance to work makes them confident as a human being” (Scherer 1). Teens want work experience so they can improve in their weak points. “Bailey talks about how she was very shy, but until she started working she had become more open towards people” (2). Teens getting working experience and equally treated will help them be confident and grow up to be a good example of an

I realized after being able to handle an angry customer positively, I have matured working at Wendy’s. To be able to not step out of character when someone you don’t know is yelling at you because of tomatoes is huge. Having a job helped me practice professional skills. I also had to learn to save money because the same weekend I got my check I spent half of it. My first job made me feel like a complete adult, and although it was stressful, maturing is a step in life I knew I was going to face soon

     Jobs won’t only support teens for the things they want, but it can help benefit for the things they need. The first things teens think of for their future are going to college and getting their first car. But, let’s say there’s a well educated thirteen-year-old, raised in a low-income family, who has plans on going to college.

The author has a goal of letting young people know what the benefits are of being employed, especially before entering the real world. Most college students are fresh out of high school and have never really experienced the realities of having to work in order to support themselves. Andrew chooses to work as a temp in a factory located in his hometown for the overtime pay, and because living at home during the summer months rather than residing on the college campus is exceptionally

My good friend and I were talking one day about his job at Publix. He was wanting to get a full time job anywhere and found one at Cold Air which is a wholesale company that sells original equipment manufacturer auto parts and aftermarket auto parts to stores like Advanced Auto Parts and Auto Zone, they also sell to places like Good Year. Anyway he was talking to me about applying for the job since he would be working full time there instead of Publix. However he was moving up the chain at Publix and was going to be promoted into the meat department and make $14.50 an hour. He did not know what to do so he came to me for advice. He said he would be working full time for $11.00 an hour, starting, at Cold Air, and he would be working 30-35 hours

Most first jobs are paper routes, babysitting kids, lawn work around the neighborhood, maybe doing some odd jobs for relatives or family friends. A first job is important, it gives the emerging employee a sense of purpose and a way to do things that require money like going out on a date, to the movies, or the mall. Jobs can also be a burden, especially when a person gets older, if an employee is full-time they typically work forty hours a week which can prevent them from spending time elsewhere like with family or doing anything recreational. Even if an employee is only part-time, they still might miss out on events, spending time with friends, or catching up with the guy or girl that just went through

Generation Free Lunch, to get a j-o-b! by Heather Wilhelm explains why teenagers need to be given a chance to get a job.

When I was working at Target there were two mangers that I was to train and help if they needed it. The conflict was that they come in and changed everything in our stations. Which was uncomfortable due to that I had more experience and was working there longer. Nothing work well within the ream after that point.

Have you ever tried something new? Well I did one day at Kroger a few years ago. It felt funny, because no one else in my family but my dad would eat the food, and it was also a really weird food.

When you think of your first job, a lot of us think of our teenage years when we needed money to go out with friends and keep with the latest trends. During this time, we took any job we could get, from fast food

I was a ditch digger in New Jersey for awhile, but once I realized I had three kids I knew it was time to earn more money to support my family. I opened up an Italian grocery store in South Jamaica. The store was opened 24 hours and my wife and I was always working there. My store gave our neighbors the delicious taste of Italy in New York. It was really hard to open up my store It wasn’t just a lot of hard work it was also a lot of money. I think opening the store was a good benifit because not only is it helping my family but its helping me. Before my thrid child I didn’t think I would be anywhere in life but my familt worked hard and I worked hard to make this all posible. I hope in the furture I hope my kids live in a big house with everything

When I was a kid, I couldn’t wait until I was old enough to get a job. Sure, it would be a good way to make friends and learn how to prepare myself for the real world, but for me, it was mostly about making my own money. Having to ask my parents for cash every time I needed some annoyed me, mostly because they’d always say no. Every time they did, I would always whine and complain about how different things would be when I had money of my own, how I would never ask them for anything, and so on. This wasn’t entirely true, but at the time it seemed like a smart thing to say. I must’ve applied to dozens of jobs, and when I finally got the email telling

One day Jane was going grocery shopping for her siblings and herself on a Sunday before the week started. She grocery shopped a few miles outside of her own town. Soon Jane pulled up to the store HEB along with her four siblings Jay, Jeremy, Jeremiah, and John ( all boys ). When they entered the store, Jane made sure she had all her brothers with her and began to shop. Jeremy, the oldest brother, always put stuff in the basket without permission but not this week. Jane made sure they knew for sure that they only had $100 this week. Jeremy didn’t care he did whatever he wanted and put anything in the basket. He didn’t know that every time he put it all in that Jane was removing it one by one.
