Personal Narrative: Working At Target

I had so many different dreams about my future, it is amazing when you are a child, you have dream such as being a mother, a wife, becoming a pop star, creating an amusement park and writing story books. It was only later, that realize that was a fantasy. Life has taught me is valued and to understand my worth, qualities, and skills, which allowed me to be the person, I am today. Working at Taco Bell has taught me about being responsible and accountable for my action as well considered by others. There are many roles that make this job run smoothly: that being on time for work matter, and making sure I know my schedule, is what taco bell expected from me. I learned that the key to making customers keep coming back over and over is a warm smile,

Working at a grocery store, there are always many different sounds going on; at times, there are a lot of things going on with not only the people around me that I work with, but with many customers as well.

In last manager’s meeting you asked us to share good stories, not just bad ones. There are many, so it is hard to pick . Here is one that happened recently…

A service company that was contracted by Air Jamaica to handle baggage and cargo for the airline, the owners of this company were transactional, they didn’t believe in empowering workers, as a matter of fact they made it quite clear that it as there way or the high way, and they would regularly fire whole shifts and teams of workers, to get rid of one trouble maker, the message became clearly emblazoned in my mind do not rock the boat, don’t speak out in meetings especially when they ask for your opinion.

Since I don’t have a job at the moment, I decided to do this post based on my most previous place of employment. I worked for Littleton Coin Company, a local employee owned company that deals with the selling and buying of coins. It is an outcome oriented culture. Everyone is expected to do their best to make sure customers return and refer their friends and family. You are expected to do whatever possible to keep the customer happy, they even have a department that deals with the Whales so they have their own personal customer service rep. I worked in the at home order processing department, I went to the office daily and retrieved/returned work. There were many areas of conflict, especially as a homeworker. We were considered part-time but

Detail oriented, self-motivated team player with strong organization skills and follow through, ability to multitask and meet all deadlines. Successful long work history with Whole Foods Market.

This day was busy, but I was able to help out more by checking patients in and checking them out this time around. Felt a lot more comfortable with the system and interacting with the clients and their pets. This was my last day working in the front, I enjoyed working with Leonore and the rest of the staff in the front but, I am very excited to work in the back to get hands on experience working with the technician’s and the doctor’s.

I came into your store today at around 5:30 pm. I had purchased a t.v from the electronics department, for $800.00. When I got home I noticed as soon as I took it out of the box, the base of the t.v was scratched. It wasn’t scratched badly enough for me to want to take it back, until I plugged it in and the screen was broken. I immediately called Walmart and the manager of the electronics department, and he told me it was nothing he was able to do. I couldn’t get my money back or even a new t.v to replace it. I wanted to contact you personally to see if there was anything we can set up seeing how I bought a $800.00 t.v from your store that was broke. Thanks for your time.

Well if you say so I get started. It all began in a time where you could walk down a street and get exhausted by only doing five minutes of walking; yes I'm talking about a few weeks ago. I was going to a place where all the scum of humanity goes to shop, Walmart. It was father and I who he mention I say that he is the most handsome person in the family, but anyway we just entered the abyss known as Walmart. I was tasked with acquiring the cart. As I caught up to him I accidentally hit him with it and he believes I purposely did it. After we got passed that I got angry about how he blamed me for an accident. So as we entered the dog toy aisle I began my plan by grabbing the pig squeaker toy and letting it rip. So throughout the store I continued

I utilize Office Depot for their copy services often. The Office Depot nearest my home was where I most often got my copy orders filled. One evening prior to morning meeting, I sent documents to be printed. The meeting was at 11 am and Office Depot opened at 9am. I figured that gave me time to stop on the way to the meeting, pick up the copies and be on time to the meeting. Well this “moment of truth” began with the print shop employee explaining to me they never received the order via email. When I asked him to check, he was able to find the order but needed time to print it. He pulled up the files and the telephone rang. I was slightly annoyed the order was not ready but understood things happen. However,

As I walk of of the A+P Mart from quitting my job because Lingle was being rude to these three women. I heard a loud "CRASH!" I ran around the block to find the girls that Lingle was being rude to upside down in a large SUV.

I worked as a pit master at Rudy’s BBQ during my time in College station and I was designated as a key employee. I held multiple responsibilities usually resided with managers. I often times was brought in to handle particularly difficult situations ranging from angry customers to emergency maintenance. I was responsible for the training of every employee including managers that transferred into our location. If something went wrong every employee knew to come to me first to minimize damage and to maximize customer service. Employees respected me because I never refused to help and always took time to fix others problems first. I excelled in this position because I was well trained and had worked there for a long time while maintaining relationships

When I worked at Popeyes, my position was a crew member. The atmosphere varied everyday but the one thing that remained the same was the goal of making the customer happy and satisfied. When I arrived, I had to log in and look on the board to see where I would be working. Most of the time I worked drive thru. Before taking my first order, I had to count my drawer and make sure that it contained the same amount listed on the drawer sheet. After that, I could start my day. When taking orders, I had to remember to

When I went to the general store to get a sucker, the moment I left the store and put the sucker in my mouth I began to feel nauseous. Then my vision got blurry and I blacked out. The next moment I woke up and I realized I wasn't in modern time.

I remember like it was yesterday even though it wasn't, it was a gross rainy day and my mom had just moved into her new house. We had to help unpack everything into the garage, but we stopped early because the rain started to come down really hard. My mom took me to Petsmart because we had to get new stuff for the cat we were getting. We were getting the cat from her friends house that she had known for awhile. We had heard a story about the cat that when it was a kitten his mom was an outside cat so one day the cat went out and the owners friend had locked the door and the mother cat could not get in the house to feed the kittens. Sadley all the kittens died but they had to move a dresser and when they did they found him under it and the cat
