It was a nice summer day and I was at my friend, Melody’s, house. I had previously spent the night at her house. We had gotten up and started getting ready for our day. We were going to go out and get lunch at Chick-Fil-A. We were walking out to my car ready to go when I realized I did not have my car keys on me. I looked in my pockets and my backpack but they were nowhere to be found. In a panic, I turned around and headed back to Melody’s maroon bedroom to look for my keys. After about 30 minutes of intensely searching her room and we still could not locate them. I started to wonder if maybe I left them in my car from the night before. I went out to my white Ford Focus and sure enough there my keys were sitting in the driver’s seat with …show more content…

Manning soon pulled up to Melody’s in her brown Jeep. I jogged to the car and we started our journey to my house. We made it to my house and I rapidly got out and went inside to get the key. I came outside and got back into the Jeep. Manning was quickly running out of gas, we still had to make it back to Melody’s and then to her house. We got to my car and I hopped out and unlocked the door I got the keys out and thanked Manning for picking me up and helping me out. Now, Manning has a small problem, she is unsure if she has enough gas to make it back. I told her I could follow her back to her house on my to Chick-Fil-A. Melody and I get in my small white car.

We were starting to worry if we would make it to her house or not. We drive over a hill and her house comes into vision. She pulls into her driveway and parks her car.

    1081 Words  | 3 Pages

    The term “fast-food” is usually distinguished by food served very quickly to a customer by drive-through or carry-out. Fast-food restaurants are highly associated with low-cost and malnutrition foods with brief consumer and employee interaction, and below average cleanliness based on restaurant health inspection reports. Chick-fil-A has changed the usual perception of fast-food restaurants. Rather than burgers and potato fries, Chick-fil-A serves chicken sandwiches and waffle fries. Chick-fil-A also shows their appreciation for employee to customer relations, rather than ignoring the social aspect of serving customers when operating at a fast pace. Chick-fil-A’s menu selection, customer interaction, and clean eating

    One of my favorite commercials to watch is the Chick-Fil-A commercials. Their commercials are very ironic but at the same time interesting and entertaining. The main purpose of their commercial is to persuade an audience to go and buy their product or maybe convince an audience to come back again and buy more of their product. They are able to influence their audience through the use of rhetorical elements. Rhetorical elements include: the rhetor, discourse, audience, and rhetorical triangle. Their commercials don’t necessarily target one particular audience, they incorporate different ideas into their commercial to target different audiences such as families, and football fans.

    Chick-fil-A recognizes that their brand promise starts the minute the customer enters the premises. When a store opens for the first time, the franchised operator doesn’t just see an opportunity to sell his food product, but rather a “chance to interact, build community, and engage with customers and the community at large. We do this in a variety of ways. First and foremost, we strive to provide 2nd Mile Service to each customer. As we work to continuously improve, we want customers to experience something unique.

    I made it to Big Lots, where Jonathan works, and I forced him to come outside and look at my car. Then we sat and talked for a while and I bragged about how I was going to my grandma’s house to eat a good home-cooked meal, while he would be forced to eat fast food again. When I left Big Lots, I still had a little time before church let out, so I drove back to Gray to the Dollar Store for some supplies for a Spanish class project I was doing that week. Finally I pulled into my grandparents’ driveway, and I noticed the door was closed. I thought this was unusual because I knew my grandpa was home, but I had forgotten a school fundraiser form for my aunts to look at, so I turned around and drove back home to Jonesborough. While driving home my friend Rachel and her mother were behind me, they followed me all the way to my house. I thought it was some kind of joke, but when we pulled into my driveway, Rachel yelled, “Get in the car! They had to take your grandma to the hospital.”

    I sat there staring at her. She had caught me red handed. Words were flying through my head as I tried to think up a believable excuse. Before I realized what I was doing, I heard myself saying “I’m sorry! I didn’t know what else to do!”. I jumped to my feet and ran. Ran as far away as I could get. The park. I climbed a tree and sat there. I felt a lump in my throat, and then a teardrop rolled down my cheek. Another tear, and another one, and before I knew it, I was crying. Why was I crying? Because I had done the unthinkable, and turned my life into an even bigger mess than it already was. I was crying for quite a long time. Or at least I thought it was a long time. That’s the thing about crying, you never know how long you have been crying for, unless of course you time yourself, but what kind of weirdo would do that? And, I mean its not like you cry for like ten minutes and then your body decides “No! I am losing enough moisture! You have cried for long enough, get over yourself and stop crying!” Nope, I guess that’s not how life works, cause you can cry forever if you wanted to! I mean, I think if you cried for that long, you would look, or at least feel, like a prune, but you get the idea. That is besides the point. I was crying, and that is what was important. So, remember how earlier I said what kind of weirdo would time how long they cried for? Well, I think I found that weirdo, and to make things worse, they weren’t even timing how long they were crying for, they were timing ME! So, here I am up a tree in the middle of a park balling my eyes out, when suddenly something taps my foot, but when I look down, there is nothing there. And that’s when I think “that’s it, I have obviously been crying for so long, that I am now fe...

    I fell asleep until my cell phone woke me up, it was already five. With my eyes closed, I tried to reach the gadget which lay on the side table. Idly, I spread out my eyes, but it wasn't my phone that rang. I have almost forgotten about Caroline’s phone which still dwelled in my pants’ pocket. When I took a look, the call was already hung up. So I scrolled down for the number of the missed call and tried to reach it using my phone. Something somehow thrilled me when the number I dialled is actually Carrie’s number. It was her who call the phone, but whose phone is this? Possibly she has two phones… my brain told me. It's nothing weird about having two phones, they have even three. Anyway, for some reason, I voided my intention to call Caroline, instead I set out to run through the second phone of hers. Came to my idea to have her second number, and so I dialled my own number from the phone. I smiled after I deleted the number I dialled, proceeding to my phone, to save her number.
