A foodtruck on the beach in midsummer. The temperature was high and a nearby protest was taking place, which although peaceful made a lot of noise.

The customer approaches the food truck, while the employee is watching the protest going on.

Customer: Good morning, can I have two chicken tacos with cayenne pepper?

Employee: We don't have that kind of pepper here, it's not Mexico.

Customers: Do you have another type of pepper?

Employee: Why? you will buy?

Customer: I intend to, but I can look elsewhere, if you are not willing to attend me.

Employee: If you're not going to buy, go away and don't waste my time.

Customer: Wow, I'm just trying to buy your product, you don't need all that aggressiveness.

Employee: I am not obliged to serve people like you. This is America and you are not welcome. Go back to your country.

The customer is surprised, while the employee is aggressive.

Customer: First of all, I am also an American, I pay my taxes and have as much right as you to be here and secondly, xenophobia is a crime and I hope you are willing to answer for this behavior before the authorities.

Employee: I'm not afraid of you! no authority will withdraw my rights as an American! You better watch ou...

The customers walk away while the clerk screams at him, which is drowned out by the noise of the protest.

Explanation:

The theme of my dramatization is xenophobia. This theme refers to the refusal of employees to serve people with different ethnicities.

It is important to remember that this is not acceptable behavior for anyone, whether they are employees of a store or not. In the case above, the foodtruck employee refused to answer as he tried to humiliate and despise a customer who appeared to be from another country. This is inappropriate behavior for an employee because no one should be treated badly and people of different ethnicities are important for the growth of local commerce, as well as being exercising their rights within a free country.

safety professionals realize that high-dexterity gloves result in increased safety and job performance. corporate managers know that increased safety reduces costs while increased performance enhances productivity, both of which boost the bottom line. that being said, why do we still see so many work sites where gloves are not mandated ppe or where gloves are mandated but compliance falls short of expectations? after all, the most important tools for every employee are his brains, eyes, and hands--he can't work without all three of them functioning properly.

hard hats and safety glasses top the list of required ppe at most work sites, but gloves fall to a distant third or fourth. and even when gloves are mandated, they're often found on the ground more than on employees' hands. why is that?

the reason is that lack of hand dexterity has historically made gloves too cumbersome to work in. if an employee can't adequately control the tools he or she is working with--if he can't feel the details of the metal pipe, wood beam, parcel package, machine screw, airplane wing, concrete block, pine log, steel girder, or engine part that he's handling--then the gloves themselves pose an even higher risk of injury than not wearing any gloves at all.

the lack of mandated hand protection (and the lack of compliance when it is mandated) is a direct result of traditional gloves' preventing workers from effectively and safely performing their jobs. if linda's gloves are too cumbersome to allow her to position a set of steel springs with one hand and pneumatically staple them to a mattress frame with the other hand, she's just not going to wear them. can you blame her?

in a nutshell, the lack of dexterity in gloves has prevented them from becoming universally required and accepted hand protection. and that's a sad thing, because no matter how talented you are at the job you perform, you can't work with injured hands.
