Don't need help?

In Manchester, Connecticut, shoppers are getting their impute on how they feel about do you self grocery lines. There are some people that like the do it your self lines because they say it fast and easy. One of the people that like the old fashion traditional line is being Keith Wearne, he says he like being able to talk to someone while paying for his groceries. Connecticut is not the only state that has do it your self grocery line, many other states have them too. A study was made that 16 percent of supermarket checkout lines in 2010 were done with self serving checkout lines. The study shows that people are more satisfied using a traditional grocery line. Some customers think the do it your self serving line make make a mistake such as a error on the cost of food. The customers would like to be able to talk someone that works at the store if there is a problem that they might need help with. Local stores have removed some of their do it your self lines and replaced them with employees. Customer service is another factor on whether to keep the self-serve lines. Some people find the self-serve lines very useful because they can just come into the store and grab what ever they need and scan their food on the self-serve lane and go without the inference of a slow cashier or a problem with the cash register. The debate on self-serve lines is still in progress and will be somehow resolved.

Photoshopped?

There is a big contriversal disagreement about if magazine article and other major papers should aloud women to be enhanced in pictures. By enhancing pictures they are making their skin flawless and smooth and any stand of hair that is in the way is being deleted or covered up. Magazines do these things to make people look flawless and put the ''this is how people should look image'' in their head. Some people are very upset about the enhanced photoshopped pictures and wonder why would people agree to this. But not everybody has the same opinion of that, Some actress, models, rappers and other well known people think this is a good thing because the photoshop picture makes them look great. They don't really think of this as a big deal but more of this is just getting a better perspective of them. Also some are even amazed that people can get rid of flaws of a person picture by a computer. The people who take the pictures and photoshop them think of their job as a work of job and impressed with their self. Companies who use photoshop to make their picture better debate against those who think photoshop is a bad and is putting images in people heads of that is how people should look. They feel as though people don't look like that in the world war most defitantly not even super models. Photoshop is still be debating upon between those who think photoshop is good and the ones that think its bad.

Manufactuing Apple

Apple is a world wide known company and the biggest one of them all. They are known for their laptops, iPhone, iPads, and other well used products. Even though apple is a wonderful manufacturing company even they have their problems. Many Apple companies in China have blown up because the carelessness of people who run it. Workers complain that they stand for long hours and share rooms with at least 20 other workers. The workers were so fed up and angry about their living and working conditions lit trash on fire and throw it out of they're tiny dorm rooms. Police were required to take action, many workers were injured and at least 8 were arrested. A young man from China was invited to work for a Apple Factory in certain part of China. Luckily for him he was college graduate and got good job at the Apple Company and better living condition compared to most of the workers who had a job from Apple. The company worked their employees for almost 12 hours a day and made very little money doing so. They was forced stand in a line and wear masks and glasses to protect their eyes from the dust that occupied their living space. The dust from making the machines for apple were the reason most often why their buildings almost always blew up.  Only after the explosions did authorities take action into making the factory a better more comfortable work place.
