In the past, people shopped for fruits, vegetables, bread and meat at small food store and at open markets. Before there were no refrigerators, it was difficult to keep food fresh for a long time, so people shop almost everyday. Life today is very different from the past. Refrigerators keep food fresh so people don’t have to shop everyday. People also have very busy lives, they have time for food only once or twice a week.

People shop for food in different kinds of places in small grocery stores at large supermarkets, and sometimes it’s normal for wholesale stores that sell food and other items at low prices. Some people even shop on the Internet.  They order food online and the company delivers it to their home. And in many places around the world, people still shop in little food stores and at open markets. There are certainly many different ways to shop for food these days.

After I became a waiter at Mcd, I realized that many people didn’t like dip ketchup when they bought a packet of fries, they wanted a special sauce which was collocation with hamburger. We called the sauce “ji sauce” because it was just only in all kinds of chicken hamburgers, for example: 麦辣’鸡’腿汉堡，麦香’鸡’汉堡，板烧’鸡’腿汉堡 etc.

Some people always complain the fries sometimes was tasteless, sometimes was too salty. But it was standard salt when we made it. It must be a lazy employee who didn’t distribute the salt.

We could get a free employee meal every Saturday. I often bought a香芋派extra only pay half percent. But I knew the manager didn’t want to sell 香芋派 to half price

Revised

When I was 17, I wanted to make as much as possible money for my allowance. So, my friend referred me to work in MCD. I learned everything was slowly in the beginning. Fortunately, all of the colleagues were very vice. After a couple of days, I could master all the skills like the cashier, how to make fries and ice-cream etc.

After I became a server at Mcd, I realized that many people don’t like to eat fries with ketchup, they wanted a special sauce. We called the sauce “ji sauce” because it was used in all kinds of chicken hamburgers, for example: 麦辣’鸡’腿汉堡，麦香’鸡’汉堡，板烧’鸡’腿汉堡 etc.

Some people always complain that the fries are bland, sometimes was too salty. But we make the fries with the proportioned salt. There must have been a careless employee who didn’t use enough salt.

We could get a free employee meal every Saturday. I often bought a taro pie at half price/ at 50 percent off. But I knew the manager didn’t want to sell the taro pie at half price

my ex-boyfriend was so smart , he put the taro pie into other package for me. I had worked at Mcd for one year. I got to know many kinds of people and I was glad to work with them.
