I am very loyal when it comes to my stores. If I have a bad experience, I don’t like it, and I think it is a rip off, I will be the first person to let anyone know. I think I am a stores worst nightmare because I have no problem telling people what I think about whether things are overpriced or stuff like that. I guess I am a picky person when it comes to where I shop, but I am not a brand picky person. So, I am picky in some ways, but not in other ways. Interviewer: If you had a Target close by, would you shop there in addition to Walmart or would you still be loyal to Walmart? Rebecca: I got Walmart. I don’t have a target close by, but I have shopped at Target enough to know that it is very expensive. I don’t ever shop at Target …show more content…

Rebecca: Nothing really, they probably just had a bad experience. I don’t have a bad experience at Walmart and even if I did have a bad day there, I am very loyal to them. They have really good prices and I really like there price matching, because I can just go to them and not have to worry about any other stores. Interviewer: How does price matching work? Rebecca: I go and I look at local grocery stores and whatever sales they are having, I write them down. For example, one store this week has 2 pounds of bananas for $1.00, which is a good deal because you can’t get 2 pounds of bananas anywhere. I go to Walmart and I get my 2 pounds and when I check out I say at this certain store, their ad is 2 pounds for $1.00 and so they will just give me the 2 pounds for $1.00. Interviewer: They just take your word for it? Rebecca: They do take your word for it and I have to find someone to ask me for the advertisement. Usually, you can tell and with me I write it all down and I have a list and I write down all of the ads deals that I am wanting to use. I have a sheet of paper already written out and everything is ready. I sit there and point to it and they take my word for

For my paper, I will be comparing the two websites, “Bass Pro Shops” and “Cabela's.” I’m extremely familiar with both of these websites, as well as their stores, because I’m an avid outdoorsman and spend the majority of my money at either of these companies. These two particular companies are a pretty interesting comparison right now as Bass Pro Shops just bought out the Cabela's brand and the future of Cabela's is unknown. The online rumors is that Cabelas will still be Cabelas, the brand will still exist and very little will change other than being owned by it’s main competition. To start my comparison, I am a little more biased towards Cabela’s between the two.

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.

New stores are a hit and miss because you don’t know the sizing and what sizes they carry in stock. It’s almost like letting someone take you somewhere blindfolded; you never know what to expect with these types of things. The store was a nicely sized with clothes racks taking up 90% of the floor width. Clothes shopping was going well until a middle-aged woman walking up to me and patted me on the shoulder. She assumed my weight enough to tell me that the store I was in didn’t carry my size even though it did carry the size I needed.
