While working at JCPenney, a young woman and her grandmother came into the store to have the granddaughter fitted for her first bra. The grandmother took me aside and explained how embarrassed the girl was about developing. Instead of fitting her right off, I walked around the department with her, showing her all the cute styles available for young girls. I didn’t mention her own nervousness, but instead explained to her my own trepidations when purchasing my first bra. This process made her feel more at ease, and she ended up enjoying the process of selecting bras. The grandmother wrote into the manager of the store thanking me for making the experience easy for both of them. At JCPenney the lingerie department had the highest rate of shoplifting, due to the abundance of easy to grab items. Consequently, we became very good at spotting theft. One afternoon, there was a group of young girls who were continually going into the fitting rooms with panties. However, none of the undergarments were making their way back out. As soon as the girls began walking away from the department, I went into the fitting room, found price tags stuffed into the molding, and called security. As a result, it was discovered one of the young ladies was attempting to leave the store wearing 16 pairs of panties. …show more content…
We cut the deli meat in store. One day while I was working on register, the employee working on deli side let out a bloodcurdling scream. She had severely cut her hand while running the slicer. I ran over, turned the machine off, put on rubber gloves, and began to try stopping the blood with one hand, as I called 9-1-1 with the other. She still shows me the scar with a smile, whenever I see her out and
In the U.S, many public organizations are highly influenced by its connection between its outlooks about sex and its use of space. Within these gendered places, men and women act out masculine and feminine characteristics and gendered actions. In this ethnographic research paper, I will establish how a normal department store strengthens the gender and space association through its use of space, products within those spaces and customer use of these spaces.
In 1923, excavators from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, led by Herbert E. Winlock (Museum Egyptologist), found fragments of statues belonging to the time of Hatshepsut when they began clearing the area in front of the temples of Hatshepsut and Mentuhotep II. As a result further excavations of this area were undertaken by the Metropolitan Museum during the seasons of 1926-27, 1927-28, and 1928-29. These excavations were predominantly carried out in two important locations: a depression southeast of Deir el-Bahri temple (also called the “Hatshepsut Hole”) and a quarry northeast of the temple. [1] The Metropolitan Museum crew started to reassemble these fragments and by 1931 the reconstructions were complete and offered a rather large collection of statues and objects from Hatshepsut’s temple. More statues have survived of Hatshepsut than any other Egyptian Pharaoh. Ironically, this was due to the destruction of these statues a mere twenty years after they were created.
I had put an application in at Publix, I went back a couple days later sat in my car for a little bit and decided I was going in there and ask to speak to the store manager. I went in asked for the store manager and he promptly came out. I immediately stuck my hand out and gave him a firm handshake and introduced myself and started spilling out my experience while working at Winn Dixie for the past 6 years in NC. He asked me my name and then told me he would pull my application. Before I could reach my house, he called me to set up an interview for the next day. I went to the interview and felt very comfortable with all the question he had asked me because Ihad been doing the same type of work for Winn Dixie, and every question he asked me
Throughout my research, JCPenney's has been losing money because , through a marketing perspective, they have lost their identity. To explain, JCPenneys in the past was a department store targeted for middle income familes. The store promised to display the fashion of the middle class, catering to families. The company sold family products. It was based on the ideal of the family. During its peak, that was craze, a nuclear family, and JCPenneys catered to that craze. As time passes, trends come and go, this was no exception, when a company does not replace their customers, their older ones will die out (also in a literal sense). On top of that, other department stores such has Macy's and Khols, came out offering similar product, but at cheaper
When I was working at Target there were two mangers that I was to train and help if they needed it. The conflict was that they come in and changed everything in our stations. Which was uncomfortable due to that I had more experience and was working there longer. Nothing work well within the ream after that point.
I conducted a phone interview with, Joseph Hladiuk the store manager of the Macys in Robinson Township. Joseph has been the working at Macy’s for over 15 years and has been the store manager for about 5 years now. As the store manager, Joe is directly involved with some of the Human Resource functions and HR is a key component to their business because the organization thrives off of its employees.
Sam Walton was known to be industrious, always trying to get the most out of money, and had a burning ambition to succeed. This was evident in his book Sam Walton, Made in America, My Story. He was a hard working individual who helped his family through the depression, started his own business from almost nothing and changed the field of management for ever.
Have you ever tried something new? Well I did one day at Kroger a few years ago. It felt funny, because no one else in my family but my dad would eat the food, and it was also a really weird food.
The automatic doors slide open with a hiss once more to reveal a beautiful autumn night; a gust of the crisp fall air flows into the store behind the customer. “Welcome to Walgreens,” I say as happily as I can for the hundredth time that night. I wait at the front register for the next hiss and the next breath of fresh air, and with it comes customers seeking everything from nail polish to shoe inserts to greeting cards to life-saving medicines.
I was talking to my grandma earlier and I told her my plan and how I was going to give the kids at Children’s Hospital blankets. She said that it was a good idea, but that the hospitals already have a lot of blankets and then she recommended making them for the elderly at Presbyterian Homes who are all one and stuck there. I thought that my grandma’s suggestion was a really good idea and I set a goal for myself to make blankets for Presbyterian Homes. I really enjoyed making the blanket and I learned a lot, and I am looking forward to doing it again tomorrow and this
JC Penney Co. Incorporated was founded in 1902 in Kemmerer, Wyoming by James Cash Penney and William Henry McManus. Today JC Penney offers a range of family apparel, jewelry, shoes, accessories, and home furnishing products through a chain of department stores and their company website.

Each channel serves the same type of customers and provides generally the same merchandise mix. JC Penney’s business is conducted through a single segment, but revenues are reported by product category. In addition to their product categories, the
When entering a mall of people, I witness different shoppers. I see people that are low class, middle class and high class. I stereotype these people as window shoppers, buyers on a budget and the over buyers by their appearance and the different shopping centers in Kansas City.
Macy’s has been around for 100 years, currently operating over 700 stores nationwide, and exploring the idea of expanding globally. A company that has that much experience, assets, and capitals are not likely to be bankrupted. With that being said, the current path and strategy that Macy’s is taking now is slowly killing the company. Their revenue stream has been decreasing to be multiple reasons, controllable and non-controllable. Macy’s should redesign their strategy to reach new markets because their current one is not responding to them as much. As many selections as there are in Macy’s, I think that they should try and carry more at a cheaper rate to encourage the loyal customers for that brand to go to Macy’s. I think the lead time for
In 2010, 19% of the U.S. population had a disability (“Nearly 1 in 5 People Have a Disability in the U.S., Census Bureau Reports”) and there is no doubt that today, in 2017, that number has increased. The first act that protected the civil rights of people with disabilities was not passed until 1973 (“What U.S. federal legislation protects the rights of students with disabilities?”). In 2015, there were 26,968 disability cases received by the EEOC (“EEOC Releases Fiscal Year 2015 Enforcement and Litigation Data”). Although there are many acts and laws in place protecting the rights of disabled people, there needs to be harsher punishments and violation fines in order
