Movie Review: American Meth

  I think this meth documentary was fairly good because of the real-life stories told from former meth addicts. I also rated this documentary "fairly good" because it would get boring at some parts of the film because at some points it would catch my attention, then lose it, then catch it again. This movie was in a way disturbing as well because of the image shown in the film, which was an unpleasant site. 
  
  American Meth took place in 2008 in New Mexico, Montana, Portland and Wyoming. Justin Hunt was the Director/Producer of this documentary, and people who starred in this video was Justin Hunt, Val Kilmer, workers from Rock Springs, WY, Director of the Montana Meth Project, a family who lived a devastating life, and more. Director Justin Hunt focused on these people to show the world their knowledge of the effects meth has on a person.

  This documentary is basically about former meth addicts telling their story about how meth made them feel good at first, but brought sadness and depression afterwards. This movie is also about what police officers and meth project directors try to do to stop this drug of destruction.

  All in all, if I were to rate this movie out of 10, I would rate it about 5-6 because the stories provided throughout this movie were really touching. However, most interviews got boring and wasn't capable of being watched.

Dear Costco Administration,

My family and I have been satisfied customers for many years. You have reasonable prices for each item, you have enough employees to give great customer service.

However, we have noticed some issues between some workers and customers. About a month ago, my family and I went to Costco to load up our pantries. Me and my siblings yearned for the succulent, scrumptious and appetizing samples. But, when I took about 4 cups of samples, the lady scolded me and said, "you are not allowed to come back and take more".  Not only did I get taken aback by her actions, other families that were around me were surprised on how she acted. As an employee at Costco Wholesale, you should let customers take as much samples that satisfies them. I understand that the employees want everyone else to get a chance to eat/drink the sample. Although, I haven't seen a sign nor heard of a policy stating how much samples a customer can take.

In addition to "sample problems", Aidells Sausage Company was at Costco giving out samples. But, one of the workers said, "you need to bring your parent in order to get a sample". Her words affected me slightly because I do not look like a 5 year old and if I was allergic to any ingredients in the sausages, I wouldn't be there in the first place. I understand that Aidells needs to keep an eye on the customers and follow any rules that needed to be followed. However, Aidells and other vendors should post signs so that children won't get lost while looking for their parents, or teens like me don't have to pull our parents away from doing what they need to do.

Even though most of the employees were very kind and polite. Some employees were rude and obnoxious about "sample situations". With all the hard-working employees need to do to insure a good trip to the store for their customers, my parents truly understands that the workers should be more lenient towards customers since they've been working at Costco for about 15 years. 

I have nothing against how you run your company since there are decent prices for the products you sale but I feel that you should do a better job in advertising which sample booth needs parent approval.

Sincerely,

Taira Guzman
