Yesterday was working..for the first time, i found it quite fun.
Lets see.. afternoon shift i was the BEV RUNNER. Its like 'a post i have nvr ever came across b4'. Thought it was specially created for me cause of my super unprofessional performance last week, then i realise that post has been tainted cause HJ was in that post b4.. So anw, i was somewhat a runner, but more of 'water boy'. Did the post correctly without much mishaps.
So in the night shift, i was pantry. I learnt from my mistake from last week and washed the cups myself even though there was no rush. It was quite mad at night. Alot of frustrating stuff and alot of funny things happened. Allow me to say it one by one.
1) New girl came( i tink )..like 1 or 2 days exp only. Se was section 1-2..so when the big Dinner Rush came in, Jun hao was superman. Helped carry all the drinks (which was alot).atleast too much for the new girl. There was once instance (just b4 the dinner rush), when there was an order of 7 IBC rootbeer. So, my job as pantry is to just get 7 halfcups of ice right? I did that, got the IBCs out, and placed it on the tray for her to send. Then she was like standing there with the wine bottle opener (the bottle opener was missing), and stoning. So i offered to help her and opened the caps for her. Winston saw and said smtg like : Last time i got 7 bottles of IBC also, yet no one help me open wor (in chinese, and obv referring to me). Followed by a string of chinese words which i didnt catch/understand. Made me laugh. 1 regret was my face being red all the time, some others thought i was blushing. Cant rmb the girls name. It is smtg in chinese de. LIke Yong chun or yun ching or smtg..
2) Lemon Tea. Was a hot seller. Uncle Richard out to destroy the pantry/runner station once again. I envy those at station 1-5. Anyway, from evening to night, i think had to make 3 buckets or lemon tea. There was on instance when one bucket was finished within 20 minutes. The standby bucket was barely finished b4 we had to pour it in.. The reason why i said 'we' cause all the lemon tea was not my creation. It was Jun Hao's. He alone did all the lemon tea in the evening/night. Thats why i say he superman..handle section 1-2 and making lemon tea at the same time. There was a joke abt his lemon tea being too irresistable, thats why it was a hot seller..
3) The hectic hours. Quite surprised i actually got slightly pissed off last night. The customers were extrenely noisy last night. Winston was behind my back lamenting about how this is the first time he continuously carrying 4 plates each time he came back, driving him nuts. Almost every 10 min, he was saying smtg abt him going nuts. Then Grace was there constantly reminding me abt the load of cups to be washed and other stuff i cant rmb. And Hui Jia was always stealing my cups for god knows what, constantly cocking up my orders. Yea, the screwed coffee machine and the shortage of teaspoons in a night where hot drinks were strangely popular was stressing..
My other laptop got hit by some virus. Now using my new Macbook to blog. Been so long since i used a mac...forgot how to used it liao. Like how to type in chinese, how to do stuff..guess i will have to relearn my stuff
