On June 2, 2006, an employee, working in the loss prevention department at the Shopko in Mason City, Iowa, was watching activity in the store on a camera system.

Sammy, the protagonist of the story, is working at his common job, with common co-workers, at a decidedly common store. While tending his duties of ringing up items for “cash-register-watchers”, he notices three girls in bikinis on the bread aisle.

Personal narrative observations of RhetoricMarta Venson English-112 Professor: Miss Fields Rhetoric Personal narrative observations of Rhetoric As I walked out of the classroom, I noticed the faces of the other classmates. There was a lot of confusion, and some fear on their expression. The expectation of what is this assignment is going to be about; some of them were from another country and different cultures. So I relived the identical fear because I felt the same fear that I experienced years ago because also I came to United States years previously, and I had experiences these changes of my culture. We walked through the hall and open the first door; one of the girls kicked the door trying to keep the door wide open.
Alma Mather Prof. Arnold Wood Jr. SPC2017 March 12, 2011 A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Tourist The power and effectiveness of nonverbal communication should never be underestimated. Nonverbal messages are communicated voluntarily and involuntarily. In spending time at the mall and the airport, I have observed several groups of people and individuals that emit these messages knowingly and unknowingly. From the lunching working group at the mall to the happy and sad travelers at the airport, nonverbal messages are obvious, especially to the keen observer.

I walked to the restaurant and noticed my co-worker sitting outside at a table on the restaurant patio next to the busy sidewalk. I wave to her and quickly join her at the table, which was the corner table next to the gate dividing the patio with the sidewalk. The waiter brings out a complimentary bowl of pita bread and hummus then takes our drink orders. It was a typical restaurant setting; tables full of patrons and crowds of people walking inches away from us going about their evening. Before I knew it, an arm flashes in front of us and swipes a hand full of pita bread off our table and runs off.
Teachers keep a close eye on this table. Another odd table teachers watch closely would be the emo/bi-sexual table.
