Cindy Wiggins works at a small supermarket in The Glebe, St George. Her boss, Mr Springer is away on business. One morning while Cindy was chatting on the telephone, a customer rushed into the supermarket.

CUSTOMER: Good morning, Ma’am. May I have a bottle of cough syrup? My little

girl has a very bad chest cold.

CINDY: (removes the telephone from her ear and shouts at the customer) Hold

on you see that I am busy?

CUSTOMER: Please, Ma’am, I am late for work and my wife needs that cough syrup for our little girl.

CINDY: (Stepping back from the customer) Wait, I hope that you and all of your

family don’t have covid!

CUSTOMER: No, we do not! We have all been tested and are negative.

CINDY: Tested or not, don’t come too close to me.

CUSTOMER: I am wearing a mask so you are fine. May, I have the cough syrup,

please?

CINDY: Well, I am afraid that she has to wait. When the Boss is here he works

me like an old mule. Right now, he is not here and nobody is going to

raise my blood pressure .

(Cindy goes back to her telephone conversation. Meanwhile the customer slowly removes

his hat, beard and moustache.)

CINDY: (Cindy is in shock. She drops the telephone and begins to mumble)

So-so-Sorry, Mr. Springer, I didn’t know it was you.

MR SPRINGER: So that is how you treat my customers? No wonder sales have been

falling. You are fired immediately.

Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow. Remember to always answer questions in a complete sentence. Poverty Five times a day, the crowd of students flocked around the window through which the caretaker sold her cakes, then broke up in the yard to play and walk about, while heartily biting into long pieces of a type of gingerbread with jam. And five times a day I was forced to endure this spectacle without participating in it. I never had a cent to my name. I was forced to stand in the background, and the sight of those cakes the pupils bought in a joyous uproar and devoured greedily and freely about me, overwhelmed me with passionate desire. Thus I began filling myself with water from the tap, in a corner of the yard and, every now and then, I returned to it, trying to drown my stomach to keep it qui
