volunteer

The volunteer work in Ying Yuan shop In April 29th and 30th I took a job in Ying Yuan shop by my mother’s recommend. In fact, I do not like work in a shop because as a shopper you should listen to other people and sometimes can be looked down on. No more grumble, just do it.. I wore the overall and stood beside the counter. The shop sells clothes, cigarettes and drinks. Another salesperson was a woman. She and I were waiting for our customers. One hour has passed, nobody patronage our shop. Suddenly, an old man came to our shop, he looked around the whole shop, I thought he might need help, so I walked to him, I asked him politely,” what can I do for you?” the old man said,” I need the shirt with hat,” I brought him to that area. I introduced many kinds of shirts to him, he looked at them carefully, then he stopped in front of a black shirt, he looked satisfied with this shirt, so I encouraged him to try it on, after a moment, he walked out of the fitting room, and looked at himself in the mirror, he turned around and looked at the mirror carefully. I said to him,” you look quite nice, what do you think of the shirt?” he smiled at me and said, “Yes, quite suitable, how much does it cost?” I looked at the label, and said,” five hundred Yuan.” He looked upset and said to me,” the shirt is too expensive, can you give me a discount?” I was nervous at that time; it was my first time to deal with this kind of problem, but I still said to the old man politely,” sorry, it is not decided by me, I am just a worker, I worked for my boss, I can’t do it for you.” He looked sad, he said,” ok, can you help me to change a cheaper one?” “No problem.” Then I introduced some cheaper shirts to him, the old man chose another black one, he paid for the shirt. At last the old man carried the shopping bag happily and left our shop. It was my first business, it gave me more confidence, and I was powerful until the end of the volunteer work. I was happy the whole day. In all, I liked the volunteer, it gave me more experiences, I can feel the society by the experience, I was hopeful about my future. I thought the volunteer was meaningful, because during the work, it was not easy to treat customers well, I could understand my parents. However, by the work, I saw the difference between the rich and the poor, many adults spent a lot of money on the clothes, but some people just bought a few clothes, and the clothes they bought were the cheapest in the shop. I hoped our government could change the condition; the poor could gain the same treatment as the rich.
