 | Now with three shifts to my credit, work is starting to become easier. It's not a lot of physically strenuous activity, but its more of a presentation and customer oriented service in the grocery department. How many times will I be asked where the tahini is? And why does that word not exist in the spellcheck editor? Unfortunately the store lacks a substantial bulk section like the WF's back home. No cereals, very little tea selection, but a good amount of grains, flours, nuts, etc. I do a lot of product label reading to pass the time, I figure it will help me learn the information before my actual classes occur. A trend that is interesting is the humorous/quirky/absurdest content on the labels. This extends to the store proper, as well. An institutional uniqueness exists within the culture of the natural foods that soon enough will verge on hegemony. But is this better than droll product packaging. Should |
they be wrapped in simple, nondescript coverings? Something more utilitarian? Anyways, the photo is from the outside dining area at work, a wonderful place to sit for break, though it gets blustery there at times. This, above all, is the biggest ideological difference between my former grocery employer and WF. Wf wants it's customer to stay and explore, while my previous grocer wanted the customer to get through the checkouts as fast as possible.
