I asked several people the question “what is money?” and the responses I got were all very different. Several people gave the obligatory “cash” answer I was expecting, but some answers were more insightful than others. My waiter at a local restaurant, Michael Sovik, eloquently answered, “Money is paper currency with value backed by the U.S. government”. He then went on to say that he didn’t really understand how we are able to do that, and when asked about the derivative market he stated he had…

The department store was laid out very simple and was easy to navigate. Macy’s had a racetrack layout, as it is a major loop around the store and exposing more of the merchandise to the customers.

What is value? The question is tricky to answer on its own, but it can be helpful to look at the big picture. When trying to decide what is valuable, one often has a hard time distinguishing between the concepts of “want” and “need.” It is not believable, however, to draw a barrier line between the two and claim that want and need will stay separate unconditionally.

He goes on to confirm that the data breach issue has been addressed and shopping at Target is safe and secure. Target then…

working at a grocery store. “A&P” was published and set in the 1960’s, at a time where conformity and conservative nature was common. At the grocery store that Sammy works at there is a sign with strict rules stating that women must have their shoulders covered and appropriate clothing.

learned to appreciate it that there is more behind the scenes in a store that everything that is seen as a shopper. As a merchandising associate, we have to meet at the mall at 5am to begin our duties to ensure that everything is done and that all the signing for the sales are done effectively so that the rest of the day would run smoothly for the sales associates. I can say that everyone at Macy’s is very friendly and welcoming. At the store, everyone gets treated like family. We have morning…
