1.) Three appropriate actions taken by The Big Cheese staff: * As for every Food and Beverage Manager or Director, when an employee feels ill or under the weather sending them home is essential. Not having any type of sick employee or disease around the food product will lessen the risk of any customer obtaining sickness from the employee. * Even though Gypsy was looking out for the best of the customer and business, she cannot throw full plates of food in the kitchen. It is significantly unprofessional by acting the way she did by arguing to the point that the customers heard her and throwing the plate.
Her home gave off a horrid smell and the town’s people were not happy that she wasn’t paying taxes. These facts gave rise to many complaints. The people of the town didn’t want to confront Emily at first; therefore they would secretly sprinkle lime to neutralize the smell. Emily could occasionally be noticed sitting in a window behind her jalousies with a bright light shining about her. Soon after her fathers death Emily starts to date a much younger man who is in town to work on the sidewalks.
Throughout John Updike`s short story "A & P" the protagonist Sammy, a young 19 year old male, is constantly judging the cliental who walks into the grocery store, A& P. For example, when three girls walk into the store with nothing but their bathing suits; Sammy’s mind begins to be very active when he is judging the girls. As Sammy watched Quennie “buzz” over to her friends, it made his stomach (and who knows what else) rubs the inside of his apron (Updike 2). Sammy also observed the women in the store turn away when they noticed the girls almost as if they knew what would happen and were ashamed for young girls (Updike 2). At which point, Sammy views all the older, less attractive shoppers as “sheep” pushing their carts around in a herd, or as “house slaves in pin curlers” (Updike 2). Through the choice of words by the author in these references from the book, the reader is led to believe that women were generally portrayed as passive individuals, known to stay at home, cook for their husbands and care for the children while the men were active at work.
When the Queenie takes out the money “out of the hollow at the center of her nibbled pink top” (Updike, P136) Sammy thinks it is cute but actually, it is a kind of rude to not wear like that in the store. Sammy was on the right track even he does not like it. He did not suppose to do anything when his boss blames the girls. But he falls into a desire---being a hero in front of them. This desire leads him to make a hasty decision without careful considerations---to quit his job.
Also, when Jeremiah is working in the supermarket, throwing the food away goes against his values and for American people that’s normal. The concept of work for Sudanese people is also different form Americans. When Paul is working for the fabric, he works as much as he can and join the parts as fast as he can but his colleagues, tell him to slow down and to work slower. Also, in Sudanese culture, it is very different the concept of family. The roll of the woman is very different and the refugees are very surprised that Carrie is an independent woman that works for its own and doesn’t have a husband because in their culture, the man (also called Chief) is the one who maintain and protect a family.
Actual evidence of a local business which was Denny’s was failing to remain profitable, if as the cook stayed at his job position, but the customers stopped showing up to the business because they had fear of a cook working there who had AIDS. Carla doesn’t want her Better Bagels shop to end up the same as Denny’s. If the rumor was able to get to her customers, they could stop coming because of the fear of catching the disease. Carla needs to do what is best for her business and Tom. The benefits of firing Tom Walter’s would be that the business would keep being profitable due to the rumors ending, the business wouldn’t go bankrupt , and only one person would lose his job instead of the entire company going down.
Lengel is the store manager and he is determined to let the girls know they are in the wrong for not dressing decently. Just as Lengel was scolding them Sammy was daydreaming about being in their living seeing their fathers in “Ice cream coats and bow-ties” and the women were wearing sandals eating snack while drinking
He decides to let Doreen know that she (he) has a problem with her weight. After this incident she tries to go on a diet but she ends up not eating at all and not looking healthy. He continues to pressure her, so she would keep dieting. He ends up in the coffee shop again and tries to “sell” her to a man sitting next to him. The story ends abruptly; with Doreen telling everybody that he is a salesman.
There have been situations where customers refuse to discuss their issues with our store with me because I am ‘just a little girl’; consequently, many individuals are humoured by the responsibility I have being in charge of the store at night. Some customers go as far as growing violent and agitated when I inform them that I would be more than happy to handle their problems for them. My male co-worker has told me he has never experienced these types of responses from angry customers. I know that I am not alone in this treatment—many women in management positions face disrespect and leave their homes in the morning afraid of how people may react to their position of power: some women go to the extent of making themselves appear less intelligent or powerful to avoid being identified as the ‘other’ (Raby and
So, he walks up to them and tells them that next time they decide to walk in they should cover their shoulders meaning be in appropriate attire but Sammy with a young mind thinks differently and thinks that anyone should be able to shop how ever they want in whatever attire. His fellow worker is also shocked at the manager’s attitude but does not show much attention also Sammy realized hat one of the girl’s named Quennie had also noticed her so he steps up and tells his manger that this is no way to talk to someone, takes off his apron and quits. Sammy is thinking to get attention from the girls while trying to look good but does not notice that the girls were too much into themselves and after being insulted they just walked right out. The manager saw them as not appropriately dressed girls who had just put a show for the whole store and tells Sammy that he is going to regret what he is doing but Sammy still walks out only to find himself left alone in the parking lot now in a worst condition for a stupid mistake. Sammy decided to quit in
