Twice every month Amy would audit cashiers and baggers to ensure they were saying the correct phrases, leaving the customer with a smile and inviting them back, checking the customer out quickly and bagging correctly. Amy used those audits to help with key performance indicators. Twice a year we…

Soon thereafter my college decision began to loom and additionally came the task of determining what career path I wanted to take. Throughout my entire education, I have always had a passion for my science courses and have always pictured myself working in a medical setting. With this in mind, I was…

applied for my first job at the grocery store in my town. I was 16 when I went in for the interview and I was so nervous but knew that this was good for me to get a job at this age. I got the job and am still working there till this day as a cashier/ bagger. This job made at the time made me feel more independent and I felt very proud about that.

time I experience the hardships of labor, the shock of hemorrhaging, and the devastation of a hysterectomy. It was August 8, 2007, when the first contractions begin. I was in the middle of getting ready for my eight-hour shift at Kroger's as a bagger. Imagine a nine-month pregnant lady belly so perfectly round bagging your groceries. The pain was so small like a muscle cramp that I ignored it to go about my day. As my day progressed the cramp began to intensify like a splinter festering. By…
