Personal Narrative: My Experience Of Moving To The Dollar Store

Improved Essays
The Dollar store I went to was the one located in Arlington Plaza on Greenville Blvd. The experience was very interesting because I usually go to the dollar store for birthday and holiday supplies only. I first went to the back to see what they had in the freezer. The selection was a lot more than I expected, but it lacked in fresh fruits and vegetables. Although there were a lot of canned vegetables, they had a lot of sodium in them. That is why I opted for the frozen. I chose turkey burgers with cheese, wheat sub bun, pasta salad, and frozen steamed mixed vegetables for my meal. If my patient only had access to the Dollar store, I would recommend them looking at the Nutrition Facts before buying anything. The sodium and fat content was more

    I can admit that since having a newborn here with a 5 year old it's gotten out of control. Sometimes things make it back in the pantry, and sometimes they don't. With all that being said I needed to organize that eye sore that we call a pantry, and I didn't want to spend a ton! Unfortunately being based in Alaska we don't have stores like back in the lower 48. Target's Dollar Spot is definitely the answer, and I love the outcome!…

    The day I came to Job Corps, I remember leaving my house while my whole family was crying because I was leaving. The reason why they were crying is because I had never gone away from home before. Even though they were sad, at the same time they were happy because I was moving on with my life to better myself. It was hard for my dad to let me go because I am the oldest daughter and I have never separated from my dad. My little sister and my brother were crying too.…

    An internship is normally a work task a student completes after a series of classes to gain a degree in a particular field they think they’ll love, whether they still love it after they’ve completed that journey is based upon a multitude of criteria. Luckily, I have found that I quite enjoy fashion and working in retail throughout this internship at Dress Barn. Occasionally students find that what they thought they were getting into, is actually completely different than what they expected. Especially when reading about a profession on paper versus seeing it up closer in real life. When I started college, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to study or achieve with my life.…

    Thank you for the response. I would love to work at Banks Road, however I don't currently have my license and with my current arrangement I wouldn't be able to get there after school. With Middle Creek I would be able to walk there after school and walk home afterward; so if any positions open up there, if you could tell me that would be greatly…

    Managing to break free from my mother’s grasp, I charged. With arms flailing and chubby legs fluttering beneath me, I was the ferocious two year old rampaging through Costco on a Saturday morning. My mother’s eyes widened in horror as I jettisoned my churro; the cinnamonsugar rocket gracefully sliced its way through the air while I continued my spree. I sprinted through the aisles, looking up in awe at the massive bulk products that towered over me. Overcome with wonder, I wanted to touch and taste, to stick my head into industrialsized freezers, to explore every crevice.…

    I never expected working at a fast food restaurant to change my life. When I first applied online, I had a preconceived notion about what my experience at Chipotle would be like. I expected the fast food restaurant to be like any other I had heard about. I would go to work, make food, then go home. In direct contrast, the environment at Chipotle is like nothing I’ve ever experienced, not even in a Christian school.…

    My visit to Costco Wholesale I decided to visit Costco because I knew it would have a greater amount of people shopping at once than other stores near me, such as Fry’s and Safeway. This would allow me to observe a greater number of interactions with more ease. Costco is a membership-only warehouse that sells items in larger quantities than a regular grocery store. Costco claims to have lower prices as well, and they usually carry few brand options for the same product. I went to Costco on Monday at 10:00 am, which is when they open.…

    On May 2, 2016, I bought a pair of shoes at your store, without trying them on. When I tried them on at home, they were too small for me, and I took them back to the store the following day. At the Customer Service Desk, they told me that I brought a different style of shoes. They told me that the box and the shoes didn’t match and refused to exchange them or give me a refund.…

    The Trip to the Grocery Store I haven’t seen him in weeks or maybe even months, I thought as I glared across the small distance between where I was standing and my dad’s car. With my One Direction CD clutched in my hands, I started to close the distance by walking towards his car. I opened the door and slipped in, and then he started to drive to the grocery store. At the time I was under the illusion that my dad would be even slightly happy to see me, but no.…
