You may think that the employee that rang you up is actually appreciative of you visiting the store and giving them business, but chances are you’ve been being judged since the moment you walked through the door. They may smile and say that they hope the rest of your day goes well, but employees at QuickieMart aren’t exactly as customer service friendly as they may seem.

    After shuttering its catalog business and spending the last few years focused on driving sales via a multitude of promotions, sales, and featuring exclusive brands, longtime retail giant JC Penney has lost its competitive advantage and is in desperate need of transformation (Kinicki & Williams, 2013).

Moreover, Penney’s was forced to sell approximately 75% of its merchandise at a discount of 50% or…

    People tend to judge and see abominably everything that is strange in humans, Obesity is one of these atypical problems that people commonly judge. “Discrimination at a large” is an article written by Jennifer A. Coleman that stress how she felt about herself and how judges to overweigh people are wrong and damaging as any racial or ethnic slur. On the other hand, the article “O.k., I am fat,” written by Neil Steinberg, says that despite some health problems, being fat is not a dilemma, but thin people usually remind them that is not normal. For me, both articles are much alike in terms of their perspective as being obese, their attitude, and how people ridicule them.…
