Award Acceptance First of all I would like to thank my family and friends for convincing me to get a job here at Walmart in the first. I would also like to also thank the Walmart company for awarding me Cashier Of The Month it was completely unexpected, and it is not very often that I am awarded something. So I have prepared a little speech to express how thankful I am. Whether it was way back when I started working here at Walmart on June 11 2016 to now nearly six months later in November. I have always loved working here. And I would like to thank Walmart again for the opportunity of working here. Because when I started working here I was shy and timid around the customers, not really greeting them as I should have, but now when I see anybody, at work and when I am off the clock, I greet then and wish them a good day. Six months ago if I told myself I would be more comfortable around people, I would think I was crazy. Sam Walton, the original founder of Walmart and Sams Club, once said "We're all working together; that's the secret." So I would like to not only congratulate all cashiers here for their fantastic work over the years. But I would also like to present all cashiers here with this award as well. For it is you, the cashiers, that make up a part of this …show more content…
For example at my schools fall clean up, no one wanted to walk up to the door and ask what needed done, so just as my activity period teacher Mr.Coon was about to choose someone, I just walked right on up and rang the door bell. Even though the person was not home, I was ready to ask them what they needed and get to work. I had no fears of what may happen, which was very odd. If any of you knew me before I started working there you would know I was a nervous wreak all the time, barely talking to others or stating my opinions. Although now I just let them fly and let what happens
Every year the Future Business Leaders of America group in my school organizes Thanksgiving baskets that are provided to families within the community who are in need and who otherwise would be without a Thanksgiving dinner. Serving as secretary of the club my junior and senior years I have had the honor of being directly involved with the making and handing out of the baskets. I organize the gathering of the goods and donations for the turkeys and gift cards that are provided within the baskets. These two years I have had the chance of personally handing the baskets to the families who are receiving them. When handing the out the baskets I see how thankful the families are for all of the hard work that I put into the baskets. The experience
A couple of years ago, something happened in Kroger that made me think about the importance of personal interaction. My sister Mary Jean and I were at the store to pick up just a couple of items, but the place was rather crowded. It was around the holidays, the lines were four or five shoppers long, and more than a few of them had carts that were almost overflowing. The overhead lights were noticeable bright, compared to the overcast sky outside, and all around us was the background chatter of people talking on their cell phones or to each other, the beeping of scanners and the thud of groceries being loaded on the conveyor belts. As we stood, waiting, at the end of the express checkout line, I noticed an employee a few inches taller than I, wearing her hair in a short ponytail, approaching us. She thoughtfully informed us that the self-checkout lanes were open if we'd rather not stand in line.
“It may sound like a waste of time, but it unites our Wal-Mart branch as a family!” Bob preaches.
Ladies! Really,in this day in age could this old wise tale really be floating around. By now we all know that men have singular focus, RIGHT? Don't get me wrong they are intelligent beings, but I have yet to meet a man that can read between our cryptic lines. Man want to know if you are interested with little to know effort. I am telling you to enter the bar yelling "Who's taking me home tonight!", all I'm saying is if he shows interest it is okay to let him know yo are just as interested in him. Playing hard to get will sent the wrong message simply because your message will most like be misread!
The history of Walmart can be traced back to a man named Sam Walton who opened his first Walmart store in Rogers, Arkansas in 1962 (Bergdahl, 2004). According to Bergdahl (2004), from 1962 to today, Walmart employs 2.2 million associates and promotes 160,000 people to jobs of greater responsibility each year. Walmart is a global business with more than 11,000 stores in 27 countries. At the end of January 2013, Walmart reported increased net sales by 5% to $466.1 billion and provided a $13 billion return to its shareholders. Walmart prides itself on environmental sustainability, humanitarian efforts to fight hunger in America, and women’s economic empowerment.
A Wal-Mart photo lab associate, Claude is facing a difficulty concerning attending his father’s major birthday dinner.( Brotheridge, C. 2005) Claude comes from a tight family, and he didn’t want to miss the celebration. However, there is a conflict between his working schedule and the dinner plan. Owing to the inflexibility of the auto scheduler program and his manager’s non-negotiable management style, he was sure that his manager wouldn’t give him the time off. Additionally, he didn’t want to call a sick day, not wanting to bend the truth. He also couldn’t feel there was a cold coming. Yet, the main problem is Wal-Mart’s organizational management. Managers do not treat their employees with dignity and respect and a lack of feedback and communication has caused tension in the work environment.
I have known Brittany for not to long and for her to ask me to do this for her was honestly so honoring. Preparing this speech was something I felt that I needed to perfect and make sure it made sense but if you get it or not I at least know that Brittany will always understand me so here we go. Brittany ,my friend, that I will always enjoy a good laugh with even though there isn't much to laugh about. You have been someone really big in my life and there isn't a person in the world that could tell you how much I appreciate you. Well let's start from the beginning 7th grade during Iflight in math I saw you
now: A) I am grateful you for instilling the need that I now have of appreciating love, the importance of loving someone and the experience that it brings when you're also loved. The best of all, the vulnerability of what love has to offer because I know what rejection feels like since I never heard or felt "love" from you. B) I thank you for the hunger you instilled in me in always being and getting the best, to never settle for anything but that so that I could not experience what you put my mother through in my own marriage. C) If you had been the father that I wanted and needed at the time, then I would never have discovered how to be such a strong willed person.
Good evening family! The entrepreneur bug has hit me once again and I'm reaching out to you guys for support, ideas, critique, partnership or leads as I embark on yet another exciting venture. I'm a Diva on a budget and I've always found a way to look good for less. I strongly believe that a woman should not only be classy and fabulous but she should most definitely have multiple streams of income! Many of you have complimented me on my accessories and I've found a way to bring it to you without breaking the bank while looking great!
I saw a friend there, she greeted me with a warm smile and kept eye contact with me while I greeted her. When I was in line to checkout, the facial expression of the customers, looked frustrated and impatient because the person who was checking out, kept forgetting to get certain items and having to go back and forth. The women who asked about the discounts and then the cashier rudely replied to her had an angered and confused expression because she didn’t get her questions fulfilled. The women next to her had a facial expression of incredulous because she couldn’t believe the cashier was being rude and letting her personal problems affect the way she treated customers. The cashier had a tired and irritated expression because she was tired from bagging and scanning items, and having to answer questions the customers had. But everyone’s expression quickly changed to happy when an additional cashier came to help with checkout and this made the line move

Good evening everyone, My cousins have appointed the wrong person to deliver this speech... my standard lecture is 1.5 hours..... Just imagine what I can do to you guys….Anyways, I have been warned to keep it very short and sweet!! Thank you all for coming and joining us here today. Words cannot express how delighted I feel that you are here together, smiling and catching up with each other today.
On behalf of the bride and groom, I would like to start off thanking everyone for coming out tonight; I know it means a lot to Andrew and Nicole, it also means a lot to me, and my family. Andrew, I would like to thank you for giving me the honor of being your best man, but more importantly, thank you for the responsibility of having to stand in front of a large group of people and deliver a speech while pretending I don’t have severe anxiety over public speaking! When Andrew and Nicole first announced their engagement, I regretfully have to say that some people out there expressed great concern. Some felt that having only gotten together 10 years ago they might be rushing things.
Okay!!! I understand what we are going through with family and our marriage is stressful. However, I am trying my hardest to be understanding, compassionate, and communicative while I get NOTHING in return. I NEED something to hold on to here. You said you tried before – one day or week does not cut it.
