My name is Decosta Turner, I’m writing to you because I bought a pair of Nike Jordan’s from your store, Time to Shine Sneakers. When I took them out of the box, they had a very bad odor and they had a hole on the side of one of the sneakers. I never put the sneakers on my feet, all I did was take them home and took them out the box. When I realized that they had the problems listed above, I put them back in the shoe box and brought them back to the store. On my arrival back to the store, I was met by the sales person who sold me the sneakers.
Money may be a figure to most but when an open opportunity is handed to you what would you do? A simple eight-hour shift may consist of taking orders, satisfying customers’ needs, having to over-look a group of associates, in addition to satisfying a customer one on one: having to appease indecisive customers with the struggle of the two different aspects of buying one based on spending budget and another on personal style. There is more than what meets the eye when it come to purchasing high end bags such as Kate Spade and Tory Burch. When shopping for a high-end bag one does not have an endless pocketbook or the luxury of purchasing on the whim. Most women save up weeks or months to buy that special bag.
These qualities make it the best place to find items you would buy for sports or travel. They sell items from tons of major brands for clothing and sports but for cheaper than it is priced at from the actual store. The clothes, footwear, or other merchandise last longer than from other retail stores. Normally, when retail stores sell merchandise from big brands, they last about a week before they shrink in the wash or rip while it is in use. Their broad collection of every item in the store makes sure that people can get what they came to buy.
As I went up to John Shine I said "If he dares to shoot, give him a solid volley, boys". He looked around. And he gave me the box of goods, and I knew that when I left he would realize that the “rifle” men were just sticks. And the second I left, I knew that I would have a price on my head. Hi I 'm Black bart.
Sorry I couldn’t respond quickly, because I never knew we were supposed to have hood #6 recertified this past weekend. But I just had from Brook that the vendor could not get the hood recertified because there were holes on the filter. I am also trying to ask from Arturo so I can give you more information about
My personal Artifact is a baseball my son and I caught at the Giants game. It is white, round, has red stitches, and is smooth when new, but when we caught it it was beat up and the blue writing on it was smeared. A baseball is small and light in size. It can be thrown at speeds up to 100 MPH, or hit at at speeds higher than 100MPH, so when playing the game or watching you should be paying attention at all times. A baseball is made of a rubber or cork center, wrapped in yarn very tight, covered by white leather with red stitching around the out side, making it a very hard ball.
I sat on the porch of my house, overseeing the town. Stamps, or also known as the Black Stamps, had segregation. From schools to shops, everywhere blacks were seen less than whites. It limited what we could do, affecting all of our lives. That apparently, was not abnormal in the United States at the time.
Spencer, The things I carry are what makes me the person I am today, my intangible and tangible objects are equally as valuable. The thing I carry which sets me apart from the majority of our peers is my lacrosse stick. To me my lacrosse stick represents my drive and perseverance through everyday struggles. My lacrosse stick holds a great weight considering me without my lacrosse stick is like a baseball player with no arm to pitch with. I carry my lacrosse stick with great pride, my lacrosse stick has shaped me to become the student-athlete I am today.
Growing up in a family where my mom was a doctor and my dad was a musician, I was exposed to a lots of things in my life. For example I was able to see Broadway plays and and go on family trips to Disney every year in the winter. A lot of people would say I was very fortunate to be one of the family where I knew both my parents and they did there best to give me a lot of life experiences. But me being an African-American male it seems like I not supposed to how do experiences, I was supposed to not know my father not to be able to go on these trips with my family.
Maya Angelou once said, “Your ancestors took the lash, the branding iron, humiliations and oppression because one day they believed you would come along to flesh out the dream.” I am a black woman who isn’t tragically cursed by the color of my skin but privileged to to understand the trials of my ancestors. Within the works of Lorraine Hansberry, Zora Hurston, and Alice Walker, I have learned that as a black woman I must never let my creative mind go to waste because of the great oppression my ancestors have faced. Coming to Spelman has made me go through many challenges and has helped me to think outside of the box. With just reading the works of these creative black women and going in depth of these works has taught me lessons of how to appreciate my ancestry, to continue the dream, and never be afraid to take that jump with the knowledge that I am given.
I think that this activity gave me the extra push I needed because over Thanksgiving break I spoke up to one of my family members for the first time ever when they said something negative about Black people. I know that I still have an incredible amount of progress to make, and that it is something that I should have been doing all along, but I am still glad that I finally made a step in the right direction. In addition to continuing to speak up against people who are participating in racism in my presence I also need to continue to be aware of current events in the future. Every once in a while we would have a discussion in class about what’s been going on in the media, and almost half of the time I was not aware of what was going on until somebody brought it up in class.
The negative treatment and pain I received as a black girl, and still into my adulthood, it amazes me how I'm still standing tall and strong. It amazes me how people have tried to break me, even my own kind, but I'm still here. Truth is I gotta to have thick skin and protect myself, because I got no choice. If I don't... who will? And that is the everyday life of living as a black woman.
“Nordstrom knows it is not the price but the customer service that gains and retains loyalty customers that generate strong profit” (Nelson and Quick, 2015, p 508). Nordstrom is also one of the superior fashion specialty stores because of this approach of competing. The avoiding approach and compromising are related. In this article Nordstrom decides to take no action to avoid conflict.
I didn’t know that I was Black until the fifth grade. I mean, I always knew that I was Black as in the Black slash African American box I poorly shaded in every year on the CST and free lunch applications; but, I didn’t know know that I was Black. It was during a passing period I had between Physical Education and Science to pee that I realized what my race was. Like hundreds of times before, I entered the dimply sunlit restroom connected to the cafeteria of my elementary school; but, this time, instead of exiting the restroom, after washing my hands, I decided to look at my reflection.
now producing alternative durable or reusable shopping bags from recycled material. Consumers are now driven to reuse shopping plastic bags and or buy the durable reusable shopping bags. The objective the Plastic bag levy was to serve to generate funding for the creation of a recycling company, which would collect and recycle the plastic carrier bags. This recycle entity is now in operation including other private owned plastic recycling companies who took up the opportunity and thus, employment has been created, as they are now companies taking up the opportunity to recycle all, the shopping plastics or producing alternative and cost effective plastic bags form non-synthetic fibers. Knowler (2008) reports that, following the levying of a charge
