On Thursday morning I returned to the market. Every thursday morning at 8:00 a delivery truck comes to drop off chips, ice cream and cheese only if it is needed. We we very short on chips and ice cream not so much on cheese. Once everything is unloaded Ghaidan gave a check to the delivery man because they only except checks, the amount depends on how much merchandise we need. After I put the chips an ice cream where they belong,I realized that one of the cheeses that was delivered was expired I quickly notified Ghaidan and he told to call the company and tell them that the cheese that was delivered this morning was expired and we need new cheese asap.  Two hours later the delivery man came back and gave us new cheese and took back the expired one. Volunteering to help at Uptown market has really helped me be more open to talk to people. I usually don't like making any calls or talk to random people but i've slowly get go of my shyness.  I began to work behind the counter, I would say it was one of the annoying positions. I would constantly deal with rude customers but I learned to be patient and talk to them in calmly manner so I wont aggravate them more. The store is located in what people might call " the ghetto" rude/ crazy customers were things employees were use to.  I learned that Safety is very important when you have your own store you want to make sure that you, the empolyees and customers are safe. Cameras are located around the store in case of any incident, being behind the counter I am able to see everything going on around the store.
