Overall, I did not find it a total challenge to create my bug list. Some things took a bit of time to realize, but for the most part I felt that a lot of my bugs just came right off the top of my head.
Hey Nicholas,
ReplyDeleteI can relate to way too many of these bugs, especially the Grill Fresh and Trader Joe ones. There is nothing worse than showing up to Grill Fresh starving, and the employees basically give you a snack-sized portion. As far as Trader Joes goes, never try and show up on a Sunday. I seem to make that mistake every week…Overall, you did a great job expanding on why those bugs exist too!
Hello Nicholas,
ReplyDeleteSome of these bugs are things that really bother me too. The one I can relate the most is bug number two because every time I call the Financial Aid Office they don’t pick up. You did a very good job specifying your bug and telling us why in brief manner. However, for future assignments remember to elaborate on your explanation.
