Friday, 30 May - Getting used to my new job
yesterday night was my third day in tiger bar, now getting use to the job, being a cashier although still not familiarise with the drinks catergories, floor - ordering drinks and serving the customer... nathan, my assistant manger of the bar asked me this question the moment i arrive at the bar ' kelvin, do you punch in your card the moment you arrive or after you change?' obviously i know he trying to test me out, if not i will kana a scolding if i answer wrongly... of course i choose after i change into my uniform then i punch in the card... hehheh, well answer i think.. :) then this so called assistant manager was trying to change the environment, menu must be well place at its position, this this this, that that that, wah piang eh, i just a newcomer and he wants to change the management before i can master everything... i feel like punching, kick his ass and shout 'can you give everyone a break'... i'm really damn sad at work, two things or rather three problems really upset me...first, the 'upstair' is able to order us to cook and make drinks for them... nevermind, i treat them as customer... guess what, they do NOT have to pay for it and everything goes downs into their stomach while our stomach is empty... korkorkor and it will make a hollow sound... and in the end we have to clear up their mess, throwing away some of their leftover food, not even a thanks from them or asking whether we want to have some...
second and lastly, we received tonnes of tips from the kind customer and guess what... NO tips for us to keep and everything goes to the 'upstair' pocket... this three days i been working, all the accumulated tips could add up a hundred or so, even spliting between the four of us (excluding the 'upstair') could equally divide us more than 30 bucks... see, hardworkers get all the shitty work, slackers get all the tips... it @@@@ing unfair, i really damn pissed about it... it similar to someone in your project group did nothing and order people around and get all the credits...
nevermind, on a brighter side, i get to shop at the transit area, which i really love it... AND, i get to stand close to the plane, especially the A380s... mingle with the customer was enjoyable too, and the result was tips from them entering into the 'upstair' pocket... :)
it really a rare sight to see two SIA A380 close to each other, especially when only 4 such plane is in service.. :)
getting tired now, tomorrow still has school and the stupid test...
byebye,
kelvin fear the fateful day of tomorrow...
