Reflective Essay On Shopping Experience

I never thought it would hurt their feeling, but after reading the book I realized that I should be careful when speaking and maintaining eye contact. I learned to treat patients with disabilities the same way as I treat other patients.

A famous writer for the New Yorker, Malcolm Gladwell has written an article, “The Science of Shopping”, which is based on Paco Underhill’s study of retail anthropology. The intention of a retail store is obvious- that is to attract customers and convince them to perchance as much as they can. There is so much knowledge that we can study, such that how the environment affects people’s thinking. These are tiny details that we don’t usually think about. The reason of how Paco Underhill success is because he notices these details. Details determine success or failure. Paco Undnerhill—a talent and passion environmental psychologist, provides us a new point of view of the science of displaying products,

I didn’t want the man to feel embarrassed or uncomfortable so I tried to make the situation as low key as possible. Although the experience between us was positive when I held the door and smiled at him, overall I believe it was a negative situation for this gentleman. This scenario taught me that in todays society not all establishments are accessible. I would use this lesson in the future when encountering similar situations by doing the same thing (helping as much as I can without creating a scene). Next time I would bring to the manager or owners attention that they need to make their store accessible for everyone. I value equality and respect, therefore, don’t think anyone should be put in an uncomfortable or embarrassing situation like that when doing something an everyday task such as

This week I assisted someone with filling out an application for the counseling center. I thought the experience went well. When I assisted the patient with filling out the application I noticed that the application was long and tedious. I think being able to assist patients with completing an application is beneficial for patients who cannot read or understand the questions. I also communicated with a person that was experiencing anxiety. The patient was crying in my office because she was experiencing anxiety about her diabetes. I discussed with the patient some of the challenges that she was experiencing in her life. I felt that I did a good job with assisting the person and calming her down. I also walked the patient up to the counseling center because she was interested in communicating with someone on a long term basis. At the counseling center the patient picked up an application which I thought was a good solution to her problem. I think I am getting more comfortable with communicating with patients on my own.

As a general rule, these guidelines are an acceptable method to further the process. These subsets allow for the further identification and streamlining of the process. This series of processes allows for the identification of variables that could develop into

Another opportunity I had was, my brother-in -laws mother who had MS. He asked if I would go in the home to help his father take care of his mother I agreed, not knowing what to expect. I called and talked to his father to get approval because they were a really private family and was not sure of the expectations and he did agree and thanked me. We agreed on one day a week every Friday. First day I was nervous, I had only been a nurse for a brief period of time, he asked if I would help give her a bath, I did complete bath and groomed her hair. For a very short period of time there was small talk, but the more I went over the more she opened up and allowed me to be a part of her life. Every Friday she was waiting on me to come over with a smile and the family was so supportive and appreciative. I was respectful, and actually thanked them for allowing me to come over because I was able to learn more about her condition than I have in my nursing career. I did this for about 2 years. I felt like a role model in the

The African-American male cashier named Roger had never spoken any form of; Hello, How are you, or even asking if I found everything okay. The only thing he said to me by Roger was the total amount due. From what I could tell his attention was more focused on a conversation he was having with another person. I had also asked for a receipt when I was swiping my card and that request was ignored and had to ask him again after he went to start to ring the next guest items. After I had requested a second time for my receipt, he just had it printed out and then started with the next guest without handing it to me. I had to grab the receipt off of the printer myself. I had proceeded to go to the pick up for food and beverages was to wait for my drink.

The gentleman whom I was visiting is a charming 93-year-old extremely deaf man. I was visiting to change his leg bag as he has a catheter.

There truly is something special about being with senior individuals of my community. I was able to realize this from my service project with Mrs. Dollie, an elder at my church. Mrs. Dollie is currently 73 years old; she’s been attending my church for many years and has been a faithful servant of the Lord for decades. Sadly, Mrs. Dollie has a handicap husband and she’s his primary caretaker, and at that, she’s only 4 foot 9. These few factors, in particular, allowed me to move in being a servant to Mrs. Dollie. Overall, my experience was great, Mrs. Dollie was welcoming and courtesy, along with that she didn’t make me do any extraneous task. Lastly, the one thing I loved about Mrs. Dollie the most was how willing she was to give me spiritual

I was feeling a little more confident so I immediately stood about two-and-a-half feet away from him. He glanced at me at first, but did not say anything. Another customer and asked, “Do you mind if I just reach across you to grab that?” It was clear that the customer assumed we were together. When the other customer walked away, the subject stepped about a foot away from me. I casually stepped closer to him, as if I were following him. He then asked me, “Did you need to get over here?” I replied, “No, I’m OK” and continued to browse the section. He seemed very intimidated by my presence, though he had a very strong outward appearance, and spoke with firm, assertive tone. He finally grabbed his item, and then gave me a quick head nod and grimace goodbye. I followed him to the checkout line. When we approached the line, I was standing less than two feet behind him. He looked back and said, “It’s OK, you can go ahead of me.” As soon as I stepped in front, he moved approximately 4 feet away from me.

When comparing two different ways of shopping most people do not even think about the difference, they do both and not even realize it. In today's society people shop while at work, after work and on the weekends, whenever time permits. Stop and think how can I get more time in the day for family or just myself? The best way to figure that out with all the recourses we have is to go into a store and spend time looking through racks and waiting in endless lines to just purchase something. I compared going into a store verses online shopping; to see which one will save you time and money.

Over the years I have heard stories from my relatives about how much I would like painting my aunts’ nails, wearing my mother’s heels, and debating everyday on what I wanted to wear for school. Matching my clothes, having my nails painted, and having my hair nicely done everyday, were a must for me as a child. Along with always trying to enhance my composition, I have had a love for shopping ever since I remember. Although fashion has always been a focal point in my interests, there has been another prominent factor, which also relates to my career choice just as fashion does. Math is the answer to anybody who asked me what my favorite subject in school was, making it another one of my passions in life. The process

Technology provides many benefits to the retail industry and its managers; it also has drawbacks. Implementing new technologies presents learning curves for managers, staff, and team members and introduces new areas of risk (Davis, 2007). Some team members can be resistant to changes causing retailers to lose time
