a day at aunt Sandra's work place

Not pleased about what had happened yesterday .

Aunt sandra decided to take us to work with her .

Aunt Sandra works at the Westberg city Supermarket. She is the retail manager

of the supermarket .

" What is a retail manager ?" I asked her .

"It is the person who is responsible for the operation of the supermarket

everyday.

we all traveled an exciting journey to the supermarket.

by the time we got there.

I could see long and everlasting lines of impatient customers Standing in frustration.

it was hard for us to pass through the mob of people.

when i finally managed to enter the supermarket, I could see a long row of trolley and a huge stack of

baskets.

I could see staff work with cooperation though they were fatigued.

lots of different people were there at the supermarket. they were shopping with either a trolley or a basket full of groceries awaiting to checkout.

"The supermarket have many aisles and each one had a use or a

purpose" aunt sandra said

"ok so I'm going to give you a brief tour of the whole supermarket and and I will

discuss every step and section of the supermarket with you " said aunt sandra

"This is the check out , a cashier works here . The cashier is responsible for

checking out the customer's goods , exchanging money and giving receipts" ,

said aunt sandra.

Aunt Sandra also said that , " a grocery clerk assists the cashiers by bagging

their items.

"could I try checking out an item?" I asked .

"Sure , just pick up the item then join the line. Here's two dollar give it to the

cashier when you're checking out.

I chose to purchase orange juice .Next I joined a line of five people. Soon the line

got smaller and I finally got a chance to check out. I gave the orange juice to the

lady then she placed the orange juice over a scanning machine and the machine

went beep .

"That'll be one hundred dollars", she said.

I gave the money to her and collected my orange juice in a bag with my change

and the receipt.

Next we will be visiting every different aisle.

"This is a fruit and vegetable aisle. It's where you can get fruits and vegetables of

all kinds, color and sizes,'' said aunt sandra.

seven more minutes later it was time to see what Sandra does at work on a daily

basis.

a young tall gentleman came into the supermarket with his daughter. He took up

a trolley and was walking through every aisle at the back , looking confused.

"Excuse me sir , are you looking for something? " Aunt Sandra asked.

" yea I was wondering if you had any laundry detergent, I don't seem to see any

'', said the gentleman.

"They are at the back of the supermarket, I will assist you", said aunt sandra.

They both walked off.

afterwards, I saw a truck parking at the front of the supermarket.

minutes had passed by , and mr Lincoln had arrived by this time , almost all of

the workers had gone home except for aunt Sandra , she had to give a brief

report on what happened at the supermarket to her boss mr lincoln. Then he

checked the money and told aunt Sandra that she could go home.

It was seven thirty eight PM when we arrived at home.

As we got home the first thing aunt sandra said to us was

"I was wondering where to take you three , I want the last day of summer to end

in amusement and excitement", said aunt sandra.

" and i have decided to take you to the westberg city amusement park ! " said

aunt Sandra with excitement.

" really! I can not wait, ``I said.

"After all you helped out with today, I really think you deserve a treat , don't you

think so too? " she asked.

" Yes of course, we do deserve a treat",said jason.

"And guess who is our special guest ?" she asked.

"I don't know ,can you just tell us? '' asked eleanor.

"It's your mother, she will be here tomorrow evening!" she shouted .

It was at this moment, I started to feel a burst of excitement flowing through me. I haven't seen my mother in a month and two weeks , so I would love to see her

again.

While I was in my bed all I could do was stare at the ceiling and reminisce about

the life morals I have learnt from today.

"I only hope that I will have that much confidence and strength to pull me

through whenever the going gets tough" , I thought. then I dozed of into sleep. I slept for four hours straight till I was awaken by thunder.

I walked to the bathroom to do number one then washed my face . after that I went to the kitchen and drank a glass of tap water.

suddenly rain started to drizzle. and lightening started to flash . It seems like it's going to rain, I thought. Sooner than later ,it started to rain . The temperature got colder and colder . I climbed into my cozy bed tucked in with a thick white blanket that made me feel comfortable, warm and relaxed. I was about to close my eyes to enjoy my rest under my favorite weather. I was frightened and disturbed by the outburst boom and rattle of a thunder . it was the loudest thunder I had ever heard .

Eventually I lost my intrest of sleep . I needed to occupy my time or drain my energy I thought.

So I strolled around the house. standing in the living room I switched on the light . looking forward up the wall, i saw the clock . The time was exactly two thirty in the morning. and everyone was sound asleep except for me. how could they possibly be sleep in the frightening sound of the thunder? I questioned. I was easily startled by them . I switched of the lights and went back to my room . I remembered that I had carried a word puzzle book with me . My plan is to do puzzles till I fell I sleep.

I searched through my luggage until I found it . in my bed under my blanket. with my black ink on and my colorful word puzzle book. I crossed , ticked , marked and circled words till I fell asleep.
