For many years, Company Q's customers have been requesting health conscience and organic products sold at Company Q’s stores. The company's efforts to provide this for its customers have been weak at best. The company's management has the ethical duty to be positively reactive to its customers requests, so long as those requests are not illegal, immoral, irresponsible or unethical. Since requests are for products that benefit the health of customers,…
Company Q, a small local grocery store chain, has recently closed two stores. These stores were located in a high-crime area and the company reported that they consistently lost money. The area’s food bank requested that Company Q donate day-old merchandise, which management denied. The decision was made to throw away the unused food and the reasoning was that revenue might be lost due to stealing or fraud. Customers of Company Q began requesting more health-conscious and organic products years ago. The company decided to offer a limited amount of these high-margin items.…

I bought apple juice for one of my Parent Café and lost the receipt. I am pretty sure I bought it out of pocket but was wondering if you could double check for me if I used the Price Cutter card assigned to Parent Cafés?

Vonnegut’s symbolic and satirical representation of humans as robots in his novel: Breakfast of Champions is representative of the authors interpretation of world events and conflicting nature of human beings. The renowned author often hits on significant and worrisome themes such as destruction of the planet and overpopulation. His unique and unparallel style includes outrageous and often unrealistic chain of event that are obviously symbolic and relevant to the story as well as the author’s attitude on a particular subject matter. For instance in describing when Kilgore Trout writes his stories, he does not save them or make more copies, instead sends them to magazine publishers, mainly those of ‘adult’ content, who publish his stories often changing their titles in the process. This is symbolic of his attitude on writers who don’t bother to write in order to present stories that exclusively are those which they wanted to write about, but instead write whatever will get them published, not paying attention to the impact such selfishness has with it. I will argue that Kurt Vonnegut’s specific style of writing, mainly the pattern and trends we see throughout in the novel: Breakfast of Champions is a purposeful critique of world events and the effect of science fiction have on the reader as to make the ordinary seen strange in order to have the reader rethink his or her on already well ground and seemingly universal beliefs.…

It is a cool, crisp fall morning in October. It is early, as my coach always wants to arrive at our cross country meets first. He seems to think there's a direct link to when you get to the meet and where your team places. In my opinion, the only direct link is between the earlier we have to get up and the size of the coffee we each get at Dunkin Donuts. My teammates, excited about the day ahead of them, feverishly exchange “Secret buddy” gifts, and pass around the purple war paint, ready to face the day ahead.…

It is just another simple way to eat your veggies without realizing you are actually eating greens :). I have made this spinach smoothie so many times and I am still not tired of it. It's easy to make, healthy to drink and it will fill you…
The main theme of the short story The Sandwich Factory is the mechanization of human beings. The plot takes place in 1994 at a sandwich factory and we meet the narrator who works there. Through him we get the impression that the employees are no longer considered humans or individuals, but just one of many. The factory threatens to turn human beings into machines by thwarting the development of their emotions and imaginations and in the end of the story the narrator realizes that he doesn’t want to be a part of the factory. The narrator in this short story is a 1 st person narrator who restricts his own view to the factory. It is important to remember that we hear his thoughts and his opinion, and that doesn’t necessarily mean that it is all true and he may seem unreliable – for example in some of his descriptions of the other characters. But one thing is to be sure of, and that is irrespective of whether he is reliable or not, the theme of the short story is still to be found. The narrator mentions his Joy Division records, his Camuls novels and the novel Confessions of a Mark and this indicates that he is a smart and intelligent person and in addition it also indicates that he probably is a student who has taken a low-paid job to make some money. The narrator is a man and this is based on the fact that it says in the text that he has no confidence with women but there is furthermore a quotation that establishes that the narrator is a man: “Dot wanted someone to have sex with me (…) Dot was concerned that I did not say much, that I didn’t try to “get into the girls’ knickers” and she searched for a girl who would sleep with me. I had zero confidence with women anyway…”1 Furthermore the passage also indicates that the narrator is different than the other employees in the sense that he has not yet been totally mechanized because he shows human emotions such as being shy about women and not being confident. Through the…
