The place where I work is very run down, and needs renovation on the building. Part of it is due to where the store is located in town, Speedway and Swan, but also part of it is due to the culture of the store. The first time I walked into the store, it looked because, vibrant colors and overall a pleasant experience. The more I started to observe things and pay close attention to other things is where I soon released that the building was in dire need of renovation. The black tiles on the ground had most of their wax layer removed, revealing how worn down the floor really was. The cash registers never seemed to work; only reliable 75% of the time, which is very bad for a companies main source of money. The break room looks like a bomb went off in there. The chairs are filthy as well as the counter that people actually eat on. The lockers in the break room are are bent and fading different colors as if they have been left out in the sun to long. The men’s bathroom has little luxury compared to the females bathroom, I can go on for hours.
Vail Academy was the home to all the smart kids that genuinely enjoyed school and every thing it had to offer. The building was very nice and small, powered entirely by solar panels and wind mils. I meet a lot of friends at Vail Academy during my first year and final year there. I remember going of of the campus and going onto the big grass field they had for lunch some days. It was always weird hearing the cars speeding by on the freeway, I never quite experienced anything like it before. Their lunch room was stunning, they had three big glass garage doors that would open up for people to come and go from the doors, instead of having to use the generic door.
