Lexi is very proud to get her first job as a cashier and she is especially happy when Sam, her supervisor, explains that everyone who works at their store is a member of the team. Sam also makes it clear that he encourages team members to use own judgment to be sure customers are satisfied and will tell their friends what a good experience they had.

On her first day on the job, Lexi is approached by Carla, who wants to purchase some picture frames. However, Carla feels that the $10 price is a hit high. Remembering Sam's words. Lexi lowers the price to $8 and Carl walks away happy. Sam, who was standing nearby, compliments Lexi on making a good decision.

Later in the day, Builder brings a drill from the tool department and asks Lexi if the drill is suitable for drilling through 1/8 inch sheet metal. Not really sure, Lexi tells Builder to take the drill home and try it. She tells him that if the drill doesn't do the job, he can always return it for a full refund. Happy with Lexi's answer, Builder thanks her and leaves with the drill.

Unfortunately, the drill is only suitable for drilling in wood and as a result of his efforts, the drill overheats and Builder receives a nasty burn on his hand that prevents him from working for several days. Wanting to return the drill, Builder brings it back to Sam, who refuses to refund Builder's money since Builder has lost the receipt.
