A & P
A&P is a supermarket where the main character and focus of the story, Sammy works. I don't get why Sammy quit? Pretty stupid to me it seems. All because the manager told the girls to put some clothes on? It seemed in Sammys mind from the second the girls walked into the supermarket he created his own relationship with them. Not really , but in his head he was trying to figure them out.

I think that the reason he quit is because he realized that he is in a middle of a "totalitarian" society (what it seems like to me). In a way he has rejected it and decided to go against the norm knowing that there will be consequences.
Yes, Albert has a good point. Please see my additional comments to Albert's blog and others' comments there.

I'm not so sure that he quit because he is going against the norm. Perhaps, but I thin that there are many "norms" in society. The norm that is represented in this story and what I would probably call, the norm of a closed-minded small town. The beach can be representative of a freeer world, with the ocean that leads out to many other places.
