Script:
At the 7-Eleven Store
One night, while I was working in the 7-Eleven Store, I saw an old woman walking as if each step were painful. She slowly pushed open the glass door. The moment she entered, she prented a sharp contrast to the store. The store had bright lighting and neatly arranged shelves. On such a cold night, she was wearing only an见习期自我鉴定
old dress, a thin sweater too small to button and a pair of black slippers.
After walking around the aisle for veral minutes, the old woman stopped in front of the rows of canned vegetables. She picked up a can of corn and looked at the label. I decided to be a good employee and asked her if she needed help. As I stood clo to her, my smile became harder to maintain. Her hands were covered with layer upon layer of dirt, and the smell of sweat ro from her clothes.
“Can I help you?” I asked brightly.
“I need some food,” she muttered.
“Are you looking for corn, madam?”
“I need some food,” she repeated. “Any kind.”
“Well, the corn is ninety-five cents,” I said in my most helpful voice.
“I can’t pay,” she said.
For a cond, I was tempted to say, “Take the corn.” But the employee rules said, “Remai
n polite, but do not let customers get the best of you”. For a moment, I even believed that this woman was someone from the head office testing my loyalt y. I replied, “I’m sorry, ma’am, but I can’t give away anything for free.”
