font-style line-height 1.3;">There are lots of people around college campuses. They are found in classes, walking around, or in extra curricular activities. Many students have jobs at places that are located around town. Usually, the people who work like to help out their friends giving their friends the same benefits they receive for working there. A certain pizza place in San Luis Obispo is a good example. Normally, a single slice of mushroom pizza is $1.50. If a friend or acquaintance happens to be working at that particular time, the price will most likely be $0. The point is, that when meeting new people, students should make sure to find out; 1) if that person has a job and 2) where the job is and when they work. </font></p> <p><font face=Arial color=Black style=font-size : small; font-weight ; font-style line-height 1.3;"><b><a name="samples"></a>LESSON 2: Free samples </b></font></p> <p><font face=Arial color=Black style=font-size : small; font-weight ; font-style line-height 1.3;">Many places are happy to let their customers try their products, but the customers just don't know it. Trader Joes is a great example of this "hidden benefit." When I was walking down the power bar isle, one day, I decided to try something other then my usual choice of chocolate flavored POWERBAR. I stood in front of the 50 flavors of energy bars for what must have been at least ten minutes. I was trying to decide between the lemon zest LUNA bar and the honey peanut BALANCE bar, when over my shoulder, I heard someone say, "why don't you just sample one." I turned around and saw a man about 24 years of age wearing a blue shirt with the words "Trader Joes" on it. This Trader Joes worker explained about their customer satisfaction policy, which encourages customers to not be afraid to ask and try something. Now, my roommate and I are so good at practicing this policy that every time we go shopping at Trader Joes, they ask us, "what is it you want to try today?" Other places that enjoy giving samples include; ice cream and frozen yogurt shops, Starbucks, supermarkets, bread shops, candy stores, bagel shops and much more. Be sure to get permission first, though! </font></p> <p><font face="Arial" color="Black" style="font-size" :=":" small;="small;" font-weight="font-weight" ;=";" font-style="font-style"
