What do the workers/chashiers at Vitamin Shoppe wear?

Best answer:
Who cares what they wear? If you haven't even had a job yet, you shouldn't and can't be too picky.......its' better than a McDonald's uniform.

Usually those kinds of stores the uniform isn't really noticable as a "uniform" like a certain polo shirt with the store logo or something.

Even if you were just a cashier your knowledge of vitamins would be helpful to customers who ask questions.

Vitamin Shoppes

Article by Dominic Bowen


Vitamin Shoppes Thiamine, or vitamin B1, was the first vitamin to be found. Traditionally, brown or whole grain rice was a basic food in many Oriental nations. The oils contained in the germ of whole grain rice or wheat can go rancid rather quickly, particularly when exposed to air ( as when ground into flour ) and stored at room temperature. So whole grains have a somewhat limited shelf-life ( which can often be extended by sealing them in an airproof container and refrigerating them ). Therefore, to attempt to extend the shelf-life of rice, in the 1800s, the Germans perfected rice milling machines which stripped the bran and germ from rice yielding white rice. Advertising of that time convinced people who could afford it this new white rice was a superior food to be sought after. This also was an age of conquest for EU peoples and while EU colonists in Asian areas adopted the rice-eating habits of the indigenous races, they elected to eat socially-acceptable, expensive, white rice instead of the cheap brown rice consumed by the local poor people. Interestingly , these white settlers and navy personel in the Orient often came down with an illness called beriberi which the poor people didn't get. All sorts of interesting reasons for this were proposed, but most all had in common the idea that beriberi was due to a bacterium. This was during the height of Louis Pasteur's famous work on bacteria, so all sorts of illnesses were suddenly being ascribed to bacterial causes, including beriberi. Symptoms of beriberi, plenty of which are neurological, include fatigue, irritation, poor memory, sleeping disturbances, anorexia, abdominal pain and constipation, nerve Problems like burning sensations in the feet, calf muscle cramps and weakness, and other symptoms. Vitamin Shoppes Because folks thought that beriberi was caused by a micro-organism, this illness was considered to be contagious, and people who contracted it were isolated from well people. There had been much research being conducted to try to find the pathogen folks thought caused the illness and thus, a cure for the illness. Vitamin Shoppes In the 1890s there had been a pandemic of beriberi among the Dutch colonists in Java ( yes, there truly is a country by that name ). Deep in the jungles of Java, the Dutch had established a hospital and research lab for beriberi patients. The doctor who ran this facility was Dr. Christian Eijkman. For other research that was being conducted, the laboratory also kept a flock of normal, healthy chickens. At one point when supplies were low, the staff ran out of the inexpensive, brown rice the chickens were eating, and reluctantly decided to splurge and feed the good white rice to the chickens till they could get more of the brown rice. This situation apparently lasted for some time, and the staff started to notice the chickens were showing symptoms similar to the leading indications of the beriberi patients, to the great trouble of all who considered this to be a very communicable disease. Ultimately somebody found out that the good white rice was being wasted on the chickens, and the order was handed down to get them back onto cheap brown rice. To the amazement of all, when returned to a diet composed of brown rice, the chickens got better. Based on this evidence, Dr. Eijkman suggested that beriberi was a nutritive deficiency, not caused by a micro-organism, and that something in the rice bran prevents beriberi. Folks were so sure that beriberi needed to be due to a micro-organism that they would not accept Eijkman's theory, and he was relieved of his commitments and sent back home. Vitamin Shoppes In 1911, Casimir Funk, a Polish researcher working in London, isolated and concentrated a substance from rice polish ( bran ) which cured beriberi in a pigeon. Funk determined that chemically, this substance belonged to the class of organic molecules known as amines amd that it was vital to a healthy life, so he called it a vitamine. This chemical was subsequently named thiamine. We now recognize a bunch of vitamins ( note that the e had been dropped ), most of which are not amines. .
