Retail Sales Field Trip

Last Tuesday, my retail sales class and I took a mini field trip up to the Rite Aid at the Gardiner Lane Shopping Center. Retail Sales is basically a class where you learn all about the retail business and even how run your own retail establishment in the future. We took a trip to Rite Aid to look at all of their different products and analyze the prices. We had to figure out discounts. We also compared products to see whether the bigger version was a better buy than the smaller version. It was funny because so many curious shoppers wanted to know why Rite Aid was the spot we chose for a field trip. I guess it is kind of a unique spot to pick. Anyway, I'm looking forward to some more great field trips in this class. Our teacher promised us that they'd be happening frequently. That was pretty exciting to hear. :)
