Dear LN Owner,

My Family have been customers of yours for about 6 months. Your service and prices are competitive, and you offer a wide array of stylish haircuts and customize service that other companies don’t offer. 

However, I would like to bring to your attention my disappointment at your business on my last visit. I had arrived with my Father at around 5:30pm with about 10 people ahead of me, many of whom were outside your store sitting on chairs provided by you due to the overflow. I understand that you have 8 hairstylists and each have their own patrons that are regulars. But, I am upset because it appears as though I was about the 6^th one in line. As the hours ticked by, more people arrive who weren’t there when I came in. I assumed they may have been there before but came back instead of waiting.

I am terribly upset because I had to wait till around 8:30pm past your closing time before it was my turn. I kept thinking that it is not good business to keep your customers guessing when is it their turn in line. After waiting almost 3 hours for a haircut, I was finally done when my Father came in to pay with a bank card only to be told the credit card reader is closed at 9pm. He had to go to 7-11 to get more cash.

Through all this, I am very satisfied with the haircut I receive from you. One of your workers even apologized about the bank card machine being closed.  Your prices are reasonable for the customized hairstyling service.

I recommend a ticket counter with tickets for your customers so they would know their turn in line. This way they could make a decision to wait or to come back another time.

Sincerely,

Branson D. Monico

Risky Business DRAFT essay

Depression could become an everyday problem in teen's, adult's, and even children's lives. Depression described as a mood disorder or feeling such as sadness, anger, frustration, miserable or just down in the dumps. Some type of depression runs in families and also can occur if you have no family history of this illness. No one knows the exact cause but researchers believe is that it is caused by chemical changes in the brain, genes or triggered by certain stressful events, but its more likely to be a combination of both. Still other things play a role in depression such as alcohol or drug abuse, certain medical conditions, break ups with relationships and many more. One of the biggest problems would be the media influence because certain TV shows promote aggressive violent behavior, drug usage and sexual initiations to teens. 15 new studies link exposure to media images with a broad range of negative health, behavior and lifestyle issues in children and teens causing obesity and social isolation. Overall, those who watched more than two hours of television a day were 35 percent more likely to have had sex. But this much television had much greater effects on some kids.

When the researchers looked at kids who said their parents strongly disapproved of them having sex, those who watched more than two hours of television a day were 70 percent more likely to have sex. And if sex-disapproving parents didn't monitor their teens' TV viewing, more than two hours a day of TV upped a teen's odds of sexual initiation by 250 percent. The question people are looking for would be how could the government stop the media from promoting these types of things. The government and parents should control the amount of TV usage between kids and teens. The media also should block TV shows that view bad behavior and other things that can cause corruption the teens minds. The public could even help by educating others of having a better understanding the nature of depression. By having these understandings should increase the tolerance and could decrease the ordinary feelings of unhappiness. The public could play a major role in someone's ability to carry on with their enjoyable  lives. In other words if these procedures it would decrease the percentages to zero and help people to have a better life style.
