Seven Deadly Sins Reflection

   I couple months ago we read "All Seven Deadly Sins Committed at Church Bake Sale". The first thing I thought when I was reading this is that the sins were a little old fashion and I did not know what some of the words meant like wrath and avarice. After looking up those words and understanding all the sins, right away I though my job does a great job exampling each one of these sins. I work at Wegmans and I deal with all kinds of people and I have a great example for each sin. I struggled with starting the paper and concluding the paper. That has always been an issue for me when I comes to writing. Getting my examples and details in the body paragraph is what I can do best. Exampling myself is truly what comes easy to me. Ideas also come to me easy, right away I thought about my job and I stuck with that and it worked for me.
        The expository mode is a general category under which we can lump more specific modes like comparison and contrast, process and analysis, classification, definition, classification, exemplification, and others. This piece was all about learning exemplification writing. I learned how to take an idea and example it through examples, and I used examples from my own Job. I feel when I can use examples from my own personal experience I really can use a lot of details. It also makes writing this essay a lot easier and I can make it more interesting.
        When I re-read my essay yesterday, I thought the draft was well written and I exampled the sins well with my examples. But I really missed the whole introduction! I need a paragraph before I jump into my examples. I started with the background about Wegmans and how long I have worked there, I need to take that part, add more, and make an introduction out of it. After that then example each example with each sin, paragraph by paragraph. Also my thesis was unclear because my introduction was not clear. When I revise my paper I need to make a stronger thesis and put it at the end of my introduction. The conclusion is solid but It needs more. Maybe talk about something positive about Wegmans and end it on a positive note? Also the part where I say "Working at Wegmans has really given me experience to learn about the real world." I should expand on that and why its important. I struggled with the title, introduction, and conclusion. I didn't even have an introduction and title. As I edit it my paper, that's what I need to work. Also working on word choice will help my essay a lot. The examples came very easy to me because there are so many examples at Wegmans. I really got detailed with each examples and I got to use dialogue to help the paper. All my examples were based off of anecdotes and observation and I really got to be personally with my paper and that helped me to write this paper. If these changes were to take place I think it will make the paper flow better and help make the examples more clear. Also having a clear introduction will help the generalization of the paper.

I have been a cashier at Wegmans for a year and my job is grand. I have learned great customer service and social skills. The Total Number of Rochester-based
Employees are 14,500 people (approximate). Wegmans basically sells everything and I enjoy working four times a week. I have encountered all kinds of people.
Last night I was working on register 20 and this lady came through my line literally shoving her face with peanuts, I could not help but laugh. As I always say when someone comes through my line, "Hey how are you today?" and she could barely answer me with food spraying out of her mouth, mumbling "I am good!" That was it, was all she could say. She was taking hand full at a time and it took her ten minutes to unload the car, finally I went over and did it myself. From that point on she did not stop eating throughout the whole order.

Older people tend to be more greedy and needy. This old man I will never for it, he came through my line basically forgetting everything they he came for. He made my call me manager to get all the stuff he forgot. This process held up people waiting behind for about 15 minutes. While I was scanning the other stuff he would lean over watching every move I made and complain about how expensive each item is. He would tell me about other stores and the prices are better. I felt like saying "well then go and get out of here, I am sick of you." I did not though obviously because I would lose my job. I never met such a greedy old man.

When I get assigned a register there is always someone working next I. This girl next to me one time had so much pride in her work. She always made sure that she asked all the right questions, for example she would ask, “do you want your meat in plastic?" or questions like "do you want you milk in a bag?" She thinks she is the best cashier and makes sure every manager sees her fantastic work she performs everyday and she will never have a bad day.
Last summer I knew these two employees that definitely had a relationship. They would always flirt and take their breaks together; you could tell something was going on between them two. I could not help but ask if they were together or not? They laughed at me said "haha no way" and kept laughing. I know thought they have something they have too much chemistry to not.

This one lady came through my line, and oh my was she gorgeous. She was about 5’6 perfect height and had long brown hair and blue eyes. Brown hair and blue eyes are a combination I have always wanted. She had a perfect husband they was unloading the cart and you could tell he was in love with her. I envied everything about her. I loved her clothes, jewelry, and nails. She had everything going. When I am older I hope to have her appearance and looked as good as she did at her age.

I have experienced many people that come through my line that are so lazy. I love when the strong men help my lift a hug thirty rack of beer, or even a huge heavy reusable bag. I hate when the men just sand and watch me struggle it is so unnecessary. Another thing I had when customers are lazy, they will take their blue baskets full of food and leave on the belt. This means I have to leave my register to unload and then ring it out. How hard is it to unload the basket and make the process go quicker? Customers will pick and magazine and watch me struggle and everything is always ten times hard for me because I am five feet tall.

            I hate when I make customers mad it really makes my shift go by slower. There are multiple things that can really make a customer angry. For example not giving them the exact change, and adding the wrong amount when they want cash back from using a debit card. Another error that could occur is forgetting the scan there coupons because I didn’t not see them or bobble slips. This means they would have to go to customer service and they will have to do it. I have had many things said to me that were not too nice, for example “are you kidding me!” or Are you an idiot?” just really makes me angry. I am not perfect and mistakes happen. Right when I hit the EFT button and the transaction goes through there is nothing I can do from there and customer service has to deal with it. Customers hate going to customer service, and I don’t see why there is never that huge of line. Going to customer service is considered a hassle though.

            Working at Wegmans has really given me experience to learn about the real world. I am grateful to know what is coming for the future and learning how to deal with all kinds of people. I will continue this job throughout senior year, and if I stay close to home for college I will sustain this job as well.
