Being a waiter at a Vietnamese restaurant making five dollars an
             hour over the course of two years, I realized that life has a lot of challenges
             and difficulties. I've worried about the money I can earn but it helped me when
             I read the book Nickel and Dimed, by Barbara Ehrenreich.
             Barbara Ehrenreich tries to convey her experiences to readers about

             orientation, has, alas, already sunk its talons into me. People working
             more than one job-and in effect I would be doing that for a day by going
             from my three-to-eleven stint at Walmart to a day at Menards-have to take
             sleep deprivation in stride". Being an employee at Walmart, Ehrenreich
             demonstrates Walmart's rules that she has to follow during working;
