part timers working life

i'm super stress with blogger.com... no idea why it always dis-allowed me to upload my photo halfway.. so potong stim nia...

it's been quite long since i blog about my everyday life. Assignments are catching up & seems to get pretty buzy with life.

At first, when i was back from Penang, i thought life back in KL is going to be boring. Since 1 good housemate sudah pindah.

Mana tahu, i go apply for a job @ Wings Coffee, Cyberjaya at around 1pm... i was already asked to work at Wings Cafe, KL (a new Cafe or brach of Wings Coffee in LUCT campus) the same night. Starts work at 6pm.


On the first day, i work dari 6pm to 12 midnight... Legs also tired... but i did learn fast... The store manager was curios and asked,

Manager :Have you worked before?
Me: Yes.
Manager: Work as what?
Me: Waitress...
Manager: That's why le. *saw the-way-i-wipe-the-tables*
Me: *self-thinking-in-head, i've actually did everything in a resto before, from Cashier, taking orders,set the cutleries on table/ cari sayur/potong sayur, bancuh minuman, cooking 'those easy dishes le', cuci pingang, beli bahan makanan,buang sampah; basically i've did everything*

what else have i not done??? yes, i do not know how to bancuh kopi & now i'm working in a Cafe??? Their main customers supposing to come & drink coffee. hahaha...

(since then, the boss got good impression of me becoz i learned fast about the cafe, from wiping table, taking orders, remembered each table's number & everything you need to know in a cafe, so my FIRST impression is GOOD, so there goes i can live good here. not much to be woried)

The first few days working, i can't differentiate the types of coffee which are available in the care. Customer ask i also go blank.. lol...

but now, i've learned alot that i've known before about coffee. There are the same beans but 'bancuh' & served differently. There are Cappucino, Americano, Latte, Espresso & etc... (opps! i actually have not try before those mention coffee...)but above all... i love Escova the most... it's a campuran of a shot of Espressson with 2 scoops of Vanilla or Durian ice cream. Sure you will crave more of it...

....

what i like the most working there...
1. time are flexible...
2. most of the people there are friendly..
3. nice boss (store manager), my pay still comes from the owner
4. provides meals - lunch, although we eat at 3pm
5. get to learn how to bancuh coffee
6. get to eat some of the food & drinks for FREE...

what i dislike the most...
1. one of the worker there (full timer) who think he's so smart & clever enough... (further details about him below in a new paragraphy)
2. the traffic condition in KL... the cafe is in the HEART of the 'TRAFFIC JAM" city...
3. the car park fees are damn expensive & they are always FULL
4. tired legs after a day's work - which im not actually hating it.. coz i know it's hard to earn $$$

other than these... i think i like this part time job. get to earn extra $$$ to pampered myself to buy more stuff... lol...

THE EGG TART story

ya about the he-who-think-he's-so-clever, he really think he's the boss.. bossing around me... the first 2 days as newbies, listened to his words lo... later on... i beh-ta-han de... the way he talk to customers also RUDE.
when he walks empty handed, he walk like a "King", *i think he wished he is one*... lol... but please come back down to Earth, you are just working full-time as a waiter. Sudah tua tua... when we the younger generation ones talk about our mobile phones, he dont join, coz all he know about is his 3310... always take out *like showing off* as he look at his hp for time. Because his old & rabun abit.. need to get more lights on his *antique piece* to read the time... lol... He's also a malay, & always sees time so he can be on time to go for his prayers. he should...

he juz like to complain stuff... if he's juz not around (on his off-days), i would actually enjoy working there. It's just nice & easy. There was once, he *self-declared* to incharged of a table, coz he took the orders of that table 1st. later on, the table would like to add-order "Egg Tarts" after the 1st order. They saw me & ordered through me. So I also juz took their orders.

Moments later, when the food are served, he 'nga-si' say the customers tak oarder "Egg Tarts", it was the kitchen that had made a mistake on their orders. That was around 6/7pm, not that much of customers. So he lagi FREE & make a big fuss about it... I was inside the air-cond room serving other customers then. When i came out, see why so noisy, only i know they were talking bout the Egg Tarts order. *which is so mou liu*. The one in the kitchen who took my order should know it was my hand-writing, why wana waste time?

The Malay as 'bo-kam-muan', argued the customers did not ordered the tarts when the kitchen was asking him to served it to the table. When i walk close, & heard about it, I said, I took their orders. They did ordered them. The Malay now super bo-kam-muan with me. Said, he's incharge of that table, any additional orders should go though him or atleast "C.C" him about it. *Which obviously I did not*. After this incident settled down, he nags & lectured me through that night about what the unofficial "do's & dont's".

Since them, I just ignore whenever he tries to approach to talk to me. If avoidable & I think the right thing, I just do not do whatever he wants me to do. Huahahahaha... *hope he dont feels he's THE KING*
Since it's always noisy with the band playing at night, we practically need to SHOUT OUT LOUD to talk to each other. So it's easyily avoidable... huahahha.. .& i think im so good at it... huhuhu...

other than just the 'walks-like-the-king', as mention before, he talks to customer like a king too. If the customer made a mistake or ordered something we do not offer, he will tell the customer straight OFF. I could really feel offended if I was the customer. Sure cut him oFF... lol... shouldn't he be just more polite?

The only time he's polite with is the boss a.k.a. the store manager & those who are more experienced than him (practically all the full-timers)... huahahaha... he can only 'king-es' around to the part-timers. unluckily, i was one of them. Whenever the boss is around me, he can't order me to do stuff. So i will stay visibly around the boss. hahaha. but also must show i work abit le. If not I also can kena ma. Pandan-muka-sama-dia.

For the Bangla part-timer, too bad for him, he looks blur to me. He should be blur, cause the Malay guy always complain him being blur about everything he does & always got 'kaki-sakit' for him to hold le.

If there's a chance to say this words, " I QUIT" from working at Wings Cafe. It will be the day I'm sooooo pissed off with this guy.

*atlast*
End of the story.
