Task 2

So the task this week was to study a particular group is society.

For this i picked Alamanda, and the working class.

Time frame : 10.30 am - 4.30 pm

Date : 28th October 2011, Friday

This was the main concourse around 10.45 am

There was an exhibition for Focus Point, so their employees/sales assistants were idling around, waiting for interested customers. They seemed pretty restless and listless. To their defense, it was a quiet morning. They were uniformed in company T-shirts and black pants.

This was in All Star, an apparel shop. About 11:45 am

It was a more casual, laid back atmosphere where the employees wore casual ( preppy-emo style) attire. Their nametags were the only identification that separated them from us students. They were not formal at all, and it felt very comfortable to be in there, because they weren't being patronizing. They chatted among themselves while waiting for customers to decide.

Concourse again at lunch time.

Uniformed groups stood out pretty much in the crowd as it was friday so most employees were half-casual.

So happened this uniformed trio was caught marching uniformed as well. ;) I'm guessing they were on duty for sites and such, or it's a company policy.

The foodcourt at lunch time.

Despite it being just a food court it was frequented by very well dressed men and women, some of which lunched alone in a place full of people. Either he didn't have a regular lunch crowd (maybe just for that day) or he was in a rush, hence eating alone. He was well dressed, tie and all and the women beside him was well dressed as well. They gave no indication to knowing each other, thus, I believe they were truly on their own.

This was around 4 pm in Noodle Station, a restaurant.

I guess, it being a Friday and all, employers were more casual  and laid back as well. This was a bunch of them having a  late lunch and possible an early weekend. I was kind of surprised over this, but maybe there are those who enjoy noodles for tea?
