Im a Working girl.....

Song of the day: Clockwork by Juelz Santana

Ok, I started working again at my first an only job, cashier at a grocery store. It hit me that I have been working there seasonally for three years, GO ME!!!! Most of the people were happy to see me again and I was happy to know everyone was still employed. The recession has hit my small city hard and lots of people have been laied off or are on a modified schedule. Thank God He watches over my family, friends, acquaintances and myself.

I feel like I am an efficient worker. I do what Im told and rarely need the help of a supervisor. I kinda like my job, but I hate wearing a uniform, standing on my feel all day, and dealing with customers who are mean and unappreciative. My "professional" job will start soon and I cannot wait.

Today something happened at work that pissed me off. Two African American men came in the store. As they came through my line, one guy was planning on buying a alcoholic energy drink. He laid the drink on the counter and walked out. His friend got a very upset look on his face and stood there, wondering what would happen next. He assumed his friend went to the car to get some more money. After about a minute, the second male left the store as well. I saw them both in a car. They proceeded to leave the store parking lot. I was so upset. What really happened?

Is it wrong that I feel other races judge all African Americans by the actions of a few? Maybe. I feel that other races do judge all African Americans by the actions of a few. Sometimes I judge other races the same way. It may be wrong, but we are all human. We cant help but to think that way. It goes back to Uncertainty Reduction Theory. This theory has a lot to do with the way people of other cultures interact and communicate with one another. Even though uncertainty is high, and an initial interaction has yet to take place, people of different races may think a certain way about a person of another race because of what they have seen. I feel it is the duty of all human kind to represent their race as the best one. Be care of how you act in public, you may be helping someone to for form a negative opinion about your race as a whole
