“Knock knock?” Harry asked. “Who’s there?” I asked. “A killer clown!” yelled Harry. “That wasn't funny at all,” I said. Rosie Everlean, Harry Wilds, and I were on our way to Walmart despite it being 11:45 pm. “Harry, your jokes are about as funny as a fly,” Rosie exclaims. “Oh yeah, well that’s not what your mom told me!” mocked Harry. “Guys, shut up!” I yelled as the two continued to argue. “She started it!” screamed Harry. “Did not!” yelled Rosie. “You guys are not 12!” I yelled. “We are young adults, here!”. Finally, after what seemed like hours of these two bickering we had arrived at the Walmart. We came to Walmart to pick up a few groceries for our apartment. “Remember guys, we just need to pick up a few things,” I said casually. As we strolled into the Walmart. I was the only one focused on what we were getting. These two knuckleheads went looking for something to shoplift and vandalize. I grab a shopping cart and a coupon pamphlets. “Oooh, buy one, get one free for all Snickers bars,” I said. “Snickers?!” “Did someone say Snickers?!” Harry asked with excitement. Harry began to breathe heavily and sweat a little. Rosie let out a long sigh. “You’re a pig,” …show more content…

Harry goes for an NBA trash can shot with his empty cup, but misses, and hits one of the St. Jude's Hospitals pictures. One of the employees notices the vandalism and alerts his manager. Ronald McDonald himself bolts out of the kitchen door with his full chef wardrobe and spatula in hand and screams “HEY!!!!” “Is that… Ronald McDonald?” Rosie questioned. “I SEE YOU GUYS LIKE PLAYING GAMES!” Ronald screams, “LET'S PLAY A GAME!!!” he screamed. I stood paralyzed with the shock of seeing him… Ronald

    Although one’s good deeds may often not be acknowledged, the inevitable lesson of maturity can be taught through such experiences. In “A&P”, Sammy is a teenage clerk who is not acknowledged for accomplishing what he thinks is a good deed. During a hot day, three teenage girls walks into the A&P grocery store, wearing only their bathing suits. The image of the girl’s revealing attire provides an absolute contrast to both the simple interior of the store and also of the other conservative customers. Sammy describes the customers as “sheeps” because they look mindless as they follow each other around the aisles in continual, constant motion. However, these three girls conflict with the imagery of “sheeps” by breaking the norms of what the A&P grocery store, and society in general, has proclaimed as acce...

  • Wal-Mart: The High Cost of a Low Price

    515 Words  | 2 Pages

    Wal-Mart represents the sickness of capitalism at its almost fully evolved state. As Jim Hightower said, "Why single out Wal-Mart? Because it's a hog. Despite the homespun image it cultivates in its ads, it operates with an arrogance and avarice that would make Enron blush and John D. Rockefeller envious. It's the world's biggest retail corporation and America's largest private employer; Sam Robson Walton, a member of the ruling family, is one of the richest people on earth. Wal-Mart and the Waltons got to the top the old-fashioned way: by roughing people up. Their low, low prices are the product of two ruthless commandments: Extract the last penny possible from human toil and squeeze the last dime from its thousands of suppliers, who are left with no profit margin unless they adopt the Wal-Mart model of using nonunion labor and shipping production to low-wage hellholes abroad." (The Nation, March 4th 2002 www.thenation.com/doc.mhtml?i=20020304&s=hightower).

  • Classification Essay - Three Types of Annoying Shoppers

    777 Words  | 2 Pages

    The first annoying type of shopper, Hurry Harry, generally parks his dented 1967 Ford Fairland in the No Parking or Handicap zone. Stickers attached to the bumper of his tricolored heap proudly proclaim: "At least it's paid for" and "My Mercedes is in the shop." Cigarette butts and candy wrappers tumble onto the pavement as Hurry Harry, with a barrel-chested chassis and a fleshy front end, pushes his way into the grocery store. He weaves his way through the traffic of shoppers, cutting them off at the aisle intersections, creating a fourteen cart pileup. His basket overflows with instant, frozen, or ready-to-eat food. Finally, the final lap: the checkout stand. Ignoring the flashing sign for ten items or less, he dumps his purchases on the conveyer belt. He taps his foot impatiently, mumbling about the long lines, while counting another customer's dozen eggs as twelve items. When the cashier announces the total, he fumbles with a wad of bills, grumbling about the prices, before asking for a pen. A rearview mirror is necessary to avoid Hurry Harry.
