to know someone before putting your heart out there because you wanted to get the security which never would have existed, |

Let’s talk about work shall we. Yes, totally. Introducing: 1. A Jap rest 2. A Jap chef--with the highest position, within the premises of the restaurant only --“F” 3. Someone with the surname starting with "L" 4. A head waitress lets name her "C" 5. A dishwasher, nice soul --"D" 6. Fellow workers Yesterday was sat, was my first day at this Jap restaurant at taka. Being a greenhorn in waitress-ing, it was pleasant, stimulating and whatever, for the first 3 hours. (: Ha ha. On my first day, which was yesterday, I wore my killer heels. It was such a big mistake. The shoe’s toe part was severely sharp&my toes were the ones withstanding my entire body weight. I shouldn’t have worn them but I don’t have any other black, covered up shoes that is suitable for waitress-ing. La la la At the start, the people there were friendly and all that bla bla bla. Yea. They have this weird accent of theirs that I dunnoe is it Japanese or rather Malaysian accent. Its the latter. i do not have any prejudice against them, oh well. Just that they usually communicate using their own language and I wouldn’t know what the hell are they talking about. though its better not to know, sometimes. Okay. First day was: Yada Yada, just another typical tired day Second day was the climax. :O I stepped into the restaurant at 11:4o+am. I was on time :O. Boring, C and L are talking alien language. Business wasn’t desirable yesterday I suppose, there weren’t much customers the previous day. Good luck today, I told myself. 12:00pm :O time for business. L: L is the person ho hired me. Supposedly the best, most humane person in the entire restaurant. I think he’s the dining room manager, maitre d’Hotel. Also the person responsible for providing services for the entire dining room. Is it still appropriate since it’s not a hotel? He is nice, approachable, no airs. I suppose. C: The head waitress, chef de salle is it? Thanks to FNB, ha ha. The one who was responsible to teach me how to do stuff, since they hired someone who’s inexperienced [me], which she barely managed to do so. Thanks to D, the dish washer who taught me how to do stuff C told me to complete. She’s harsh. Tried to be nice. But failed terribly. Someone whose constantly checking me out, seeing if I was shriving. Thanks! D: D ! The dish washer. The nice soul ! He’s an Indian I suppose&hes really helpful and cares to offer me some help when I seem to be in a difficult situation. E.g. doing something I am unfamiliar with, he will teach me because C never taught me how to do things she asked me to do. Thank you D ! Really. He changed my perception of certain groups of people (: Coincidentally, these three characters add up to L-C-D. Ha ha. Okay, second day right. Thing is there weren’t much customers, and on the first day, I wasn’t even asked to serve any of the dishes. I remember L mentioned on the first day that my job was to refill the drinks, clear the plates, clean the tables and place the table setting. Did you even mention about the taking out of dishes? The whole of first day, the entire day, I never ever took out any dish from the kitchen and you and C didn’t even spurt anything to correct me or whatever. &now, L called for a chat with me and another guy, I forgot his name. He clearly stated our duties as part timers of the restaurant, which was poorly defined on my first day of work. Alright, it’s okay that you are telling me now. Okay. Next, you implied that I was shriving because you full-timers are constantly helping us, part timers, to serve the dishes. Well well well. ? I questioned him. “But you didn’t mention that we had to do this on my first day,” How was I to know? Since you guys didn’t even tell me? Give me a slightest hint? Hello? And now, you and C decided to accuse me of shriving. Surely he didn’t place the words like “You are shriving”. It was in nicer terms indirectly stating that “I am shriving”. It’s alright if he’s telling me to do also serve the dishes, I would willingly do it. Thing is you didn’t tell me and you are accusing me of what I didn’t do because you didn’t instruct me to get it done. Next, he mentioned that I was reluctant to move around? Where was him when I was busy clearing the dishes and no one helped me. And the others were like gazing. Thanks. He was nice enough to mention that C did possibly a bad job in coaching me. I nodded, smiled stupidly, I wanted to cry already. Thanks for the speech, thanks for everything. Thanks for the tears. I didn’t want to cry in front of these assholes but I failed. I cried even more when D and the others asked me not to cry. C didn’t even utter a bit and L was nice to ask me not to cry. I felt like I cant work anymore, as I cant control myself. L questioned if I could still work from 6-10pm and I smiled and shook my head. Smiling and tearing. As L mentioned, “Just an experience”. Yes, an enriching one. I suggest hat they should really just employ people with the experience. Rather than employing those who don’t. Aware that the worker they employed isn’t experienced, yet not differentiating the tasks for them clearly. not teaching them how to do things and demand them to do it by some holy method they thought the worker was blessed with. Then, giving the worker the fugly face of yours, screaming “you are stupid” cause they dunnoe how to do things. Or being so pretentious, while bad mouthing about the worker. ¬ wanting to coach the worker though it was you guys who, in the first place accepted the inexperienced worker. In other terms, you are willing to teach the worker, which you guys do not. My instincts were right about you C. Happy working ! Sorry, my mum told me not to lie. &by the way, L hasn’t told me when to serve the fruits. And he will never the answer me. Not that I wanna know. &I didn’t quit cause the cause of the heavy workload. The problem lies in you guys. In addition to the minute pay, not forgetting this agonizing experience. Why do I have to put up with all the S you guys give me? &better pay me my cheque. Thanks:O |
