Many of the items were packaged as gifts, in boxes or baskets with decorate wrapping and ties Sarah was onginally disappointed to have been sent to such a small and specialized department, rather than to a larger one that dealt with more general fashion goods, but she soon found that this assignment was considered to be a "plum." The buyer, Maria Castellani, again a disguised name, was a well-known personality throughout the store Witty.competent, and sarcastic, she served as a sounding board, consultant, and friend Chanagers in a department store are the people associated with finance, personnel, ccounting, or planning not merchandising and discuss retailing events and changes a an amusing, informative way. Everybody in the store seemed to find a reason to stop by the gourmet food department at least once during cach duy to chat with Maria. Sarah was naturally included in these conversations, and consequently she found that she was penting to know all of the other buyers and could ask one of them to request her as an assistant at the next rotation of the assignment. For the first five weeks of her employment, Sarah was exceptionally happy, pleased with her career and her life. She was living in a house, om one of the cable car lines, with three other professionally employed women. She felt that she was performing well on her first job and was making sensible arrangements for her next assignment. Then, an event occurred that threatened to destroy all of her contentment: We had received a shipment of thin little wafers from England that had a crme fill- ing flavored with fruit: strawberries and raspberries. They were very good. They were packaged in foil-covered boxes, but somehow some of them had become infested with V insects We did not think that all of the boxes were infested, because not all of the customers brought them back.

She had majored in marketing, was interested in retailing, and had been delighted to receive a job offer from a large and prestigious department store chain in northern California The first year of employment at this chain was considered to be a training program, but formal instruction was very limited. Instead, after a quick tour of the facilities and a welcoming speech by the president, each of the new trainees was assigned to work as an assistant to a buyer in one of the departments. The intent was that the trainees would work with five or six buyers during the year, rotating assignments every two months, and would make themselves useful enough during those assignments so at least one buyer would ask to have that person join his or her department on a permanent basis. Buyers are critical in the management of a department store. They select the goods to be offered, negotiate purchase terms, set retail prices, arrange displays, organize pro- motions, and are generally responsible for the operations of the departments within the store. Each buyer acts as a profit center, and sales figures and profit margins are reported monthly to the senior executives. In this particular chain, the sales and profits were calculated on a "per square foot of floor space occupied by the department" basis
