3/14/18 Met with CL for a 5.5 hour work shift at Kinsley’s Shoprite. CL usually works at a different job location but has moved to this one. He was with a new job coach and two of his classmates. CL’s task was to identify return items in the cart, locate the correct aisle where the items are and put the item back correctly on the shelf. For it being a new job task and location, CL showed a lot of initiative in his curriculum worksheet and his job tasks. CL enjoyed pushing the cart around the store and located a lot of the items on the shelf correctly. He was very polite to his classmates and the customers and was very happy with himself for it. CL had one break before lunch, and two breaks after lunch. After lunch we got back to work and CL insisted on carrying baskets and pushing the cart. He did not want to let the other workers push the cart even though they were taking turns. CL was redirected to let another worker push the cart since everyone wanted to do it. CL caught on quickly to the aisle numbers and where items belonged. He excelled at being the first person to find where an item went and was very happy when he was successful. Towards the last hour of his shift the return items were split into two baskets, with each of his coworkers wanting to hold the basket. CL refused to give up his basket but then allowed his coworker to hold it since she kept grabbing for it. CL began to tell his coworkers what to do by taking items out of his basket, handing them to his coworkers and saying “here put this away”. At one point there were no returns left in the designated cart so the students went to each register asking if they had returns. The job coach prompted CL to ask for returns but he stood quiet and wouldn’t do so. CL is usually very outgoing and friendly even to strangers. Another worker ended up asking in place of him to get the job done. At the end of the shift CL told his job coach that when he gets home he is going to take a nap. He did not talk much on the ride home.
CL’s tasks at his normal job site is either wiping tables or being in the dish room. CL was on his feet walking around except for lunch and breaks. CL may of lost determination because he was tired and not prepared for all the walking he did. CL also may of noticed how well he was doing and felt he can be in control of his coworkers. When he was redirected to let other students have a turn CL complied. It is still unclear as to why CL did not want to ask cashiers for their returns, because he was very polite and talkative to customers at the store and workers at his other job that he is not that familiar with.
Next work shift is 3/20/18 at the Kinsley’s Shoprite. This is now CL’s new work site. CL may be able to do other tasks around the store that don’t involve so much walking so he can finish out his shift with the same determination he walked in with. CL will continue to be redirected when he starts to control his coworkers. CL should return to his happy, friendly and hard working self once he gets situated to his new job site.
