    In the short story "A&P" by John Updike, the protagonist, Sammy, quits his job at the end of the story. It is clear that life will not be easy for him after this. Although it is never an appropriate idea to suddenly quit a job, Sammy’s boredom with his job, his disinclination for his manager, and his attempt to impress the girls he felt were wronged, are feasible reasons behind his ultimate decision to quit his job. Throughout the story, there are countless instances described that could lead to the conclusion that Sammy, the front-end cash register attendant at a grocery store named A&P, could be perhaps uninterested with his duties at work.…

Whether it was low pay, long hours, or unsafe work environments people at this time were not being treated as they should have. In theory as years went by things would’ve changed. Eric Schlosser disproves that theory with his book titled Fast Food Nation (2001).…

    Don’t get me wrong, making a stand can be good if the individual has reasons. “The girls, and who’d blame them, are in a hurry to get out, so I say ‘I quit’ to Lengel quick enough for them to hear, hoping they’ll stop and watch me, their unsuspected hero.”, (261-264). Sammy willingly said he quit trying to impress the girls. Needless to say, it did not work. The reason why he quit his job for the girls is because he felt as though the manager was embarrassing them.…

    Sammy quit his job for these girls. To have him go out and look for them as well would make Sammy’s character seem even more desperate for their attention. It would dampen his integrity even more so. Sammy’s character already seemed liked he wasn’t expecting those girls to wait for him in the published version and to have him go out and look for them would change an aspect of him.…

    Sammy’s attracted to Queenie; her physical appearance pleases him; her actions and attitude charms him; and her voice soothes him (836-837). She awakens the desire to distinguish himself as an individual against his coworkers; and consequently shifts my impression of Sammy. While he may be slightly biased towards Queenie, he identifies an important fact, “Policy is what the kingpins want. What the others want is juvenile delinquency” (838). He draws the line between the conformist and the deviants; Queenie, representing the deviant, and the rest of the store including himself as the conformist.…

An exit strategy can be defined in many ways which are: selling to another person or company, a merger which is combining your company with another, and closing the business all together.
