Exercise 9

Okay so if it's a dinner party for ten and we know people are bringing pop then all I should get is some juice... so I'll grab the lemon and the ice tea is on sale so that too. I know we needed waffles but did Alex pick those up? I think she did but I'll get another pack. Okay we need radishes and pickles and cucumbers and mayo but not the non-fat crap we usually get the good stuff, the miracle whip. Oh and shampoo because I've been out for like a week. Where do they keep the cream cheese here? Is that considered a cheese or a spread? Maybe it's in the butter aisle. No, it's there in the meat section. I have no idea how that works. We need salami oh and chocolate milk for the kids. Okay that's most of it let me check the list and - what the hell is yoghurt? Whatever two of those, and apparently nailpolish remover and rubber boots, which I'm pretty sure they don't sell here. Okay I think that's all of it... oh maybe I'll get some Brie for the party. Ooh and these All-Dressed Flava-crisps. They looked good in the commercial. Now that's everything. It's only like... 18 items. I could still get into the under-10 item aisle. It's not *that* much over.

Exercise #9 - Andrea

Customer #1
Thank gawd! I thought I’d have to face this night without my concealer and breafmints. A date with bad complexion is nawt one you’d call again. And I’ve GOT to make a good impression on Farzad tonight. Aw yeah, with this minty-fresh scent in my mouf, he will be so totally lovin’ every word I say!
Customer #2
Okay so finally I have this coverstick that everyone’s been raving about. It’s so cheap yet they say you can stick it on the cover of any school paper and it’ll boost your grade by like, at least 7 percent. People have tested it. It really works! I mean, yeah. It was scientific, even. The study. Why else would they call it Coverstick? It’s even an ETOS brand name product. And you know what they say – “Where do you get the energy from? ETOS.” Energy is code for grades. Oh and I ended up getting a white strongmint. To hold up my paper. I need something strong ‘cause it’s like 1700 wirds. That’s like 8 pages or something.

exercise 9- katie

1.

"I'd never thought I'd see the day where cigarettes were $2.55 a pack. Do they think they are trying to pull a fast one on us?

2. The young professional took her change and receipt from the cashier. As she examined the receipt she realized she forgot the veggies and dip. She remembered the toilet cleaner, the dishwasher liquid, the endless amounts of toothpaste and the grenadine and strawberry syrup. But really..how could she forget the veggies and dip. A party isn't a party without veggies and dip.

Steve’o wanted some snags and sausage rolls, while Tim’o gave me shout and me to put on meatloaf... not sure if he meant the dish or the band though?!

Exercise 9 : Miriam

Narrative ONE : Grandma Gets Ready for a Party

Narrative TWO: My Redneck Rap

My darn name is Mary Lou, And I come from a place where everyone has a tattoo
No one really believes in using shampoo, And my ma makes the very best potatoe stew
Wilma is my very fat and rude cat, She usually lies around on our welcome mat
I like to feed her the dry cat food, And it’s then that she gets into a better mood
Sometimes my uncle Buck Scmutz, Likes to hit the cat with the mini cocnuts
Makes poor ol’ Wilma cry, But Uncle Buck just thinks he’s a funny guy
Oooee if his mama saw him now, She just gonna whup that old cow
Today we went a pickin’, Ma hands were tired and stickin’
Lot’s of berries were picked away, For we madeberry syrup today
We’s havin’ kumpny tonight, Just gonna end in a big fight
Brother Bill is bringing his new girl, It’s his sixth, ma’s just gonna hurl
The fifth girl she sprayed with some hairspray, Because we hid the pepper spray away
Them pepper spray she used for the third, I don’t think them girl’s eyes ever cured
But maybe ma will finally like his escort, And end up buying us some mini ritter sports
And maybe even get us some extra salty crisps, though they tend to hurt me lips
I would be muchablige for all 'em good food, I’d be in such a better mood
Because tommorow will be a bad day, my job picking garbage without any pay
I grab the garabage bags, and the day is filled picking wrappers and rags
On my break my paw gives me my 2 % milk to drink, he says it’s filled with vitamins and zinc
My paw is sometimes such a fool, that’s because he ain’t never gone to school
He’s slower then molasses on a cold day, but he’s ma paw and I always obey
After work I like to take me a rest, thank the good lord for my family and the west
I light up some of my ciggies, which I mugged from Aunt Mary Louise
And I say death to chickens.

Narratives
Receipt #16

1) Narrative Through POEM

JJ’s Request

I Don't Get The Point Of This

Walking down the street
Macaroni at my feet;
Instant Coffee, made of Gold
Is a sight you must behold.
Trees made of crackers, salty good
Free range eggs replace the wood;
Rain starts to pour on me head
Tangy orange flavour surrounds me.

I don’t get the point of this.

I run for shelter, find some quick
The smell of garden gloves makes me sick.
I find a roll, I check it twice,
The coloured paper suits me nice.

I don’t get the point of this.

Protection from the acid rain pleases the soul.
High from the sky, suddenly falls a bowl.
“I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” is what is says
Makes good cookies, I guess.

I don’t get the point of this.

Random things always happen to me.
Going to Dominion is always a treat.

Fin.

2) Narrative Through Pictures! Yay!

Exercise:9 Kristen Burns

1.
2. I cant believe she sends me to the store with this kind of list. How vague can she be. Like what the heck is a Froma D'OR. or Markus Gold. If she thinks im going to spend all day looking then shes made. What kind of women puts on her list buy flowers. Who does she think I am. You know what I am going to buy what i want. Im gunna get 2 chocolate crispys, Cashew Nuts, and ginger bread, and I dont even care if she calls me fat and stupid. Maybe next time she will learn not to send me with this ridiculous list.

Exercise Nine: A Meeting in a Supermarket

This exercise is designed to continue to get you thinking in narrative, and about how narrative applies to user experience.

Using one of the attached grocery store receipts as your inspiration/evidence, create two narratives. Post your narratives to the blog. At least one of these narratives should consist of more than just prose. Consider images, video, poetry and sound. Be creative! Here's an example of a variety of possible responses to a single receipt.

Your receipt assignments (the page number) are as follows:

Philip: 1
Julian A: 2
Katie: 3
Kristen: 4
Gillian: 5
Kaylyn: 6
Shona: 7
