FINALLY I GOT MY 1ST JOB....& it's over....
Ok its a job @ SPC. As a sales promoter or wadever u call it. My job is simply 2 let customers sample "I-Dragon" & "1000 C" (tts wad dey call it). Those hu havent tried u can look out for me @ ur nearest friendly neighbourhood station!! (provided i still tak up de job again & i happen 2 be @ ur nearest station!!haha)
I hav no proper stall or place 2 stand. I jus stand @ de aisle & put my tray on de ice-cream fridge. I met all kinds of ppl. Most r Eng speaking. & many r hao lian. I actually hav 2 predict if a person is eng or chi speaking den tak action. quite hard u noe & i got many times wrong. in de end i decided 2 use eng 4 most except if de guy look reali Cheena.
I hav 2 move my tray whenever ppl 1 2 open de fridge. Some r reali damn rude! one kind of which will say jus "No!" so coldly. Dey dun even smile & deres no tks even though i dunno y i thank dem back. Den deres de kind which din even look @ u!!!serious!! like u were not dere & dey din even heard u!!& of dem all, 2 r ang mohs!! dey totally tarnish de image of ang moh i hav. & i thot ang mohs r supposed 2 be better-mannered & gentlemen.....
I also met some kind ones lik 1 lady which told me "All de best!" very encouragingly though she din buy. & de other hu bought & ask me so much bout my job den told me her daughter looking 4 job also but scare bad company....not 4geting de 1 hu told me 2 stand facing de other side so tt de sun wun shine ino my face...& also those hu smiled, said "tks" very politely, & those hu pat me on my arm..... Tks! u reali made my day! So as long as u notice me & smile. De better if u drink. Cos my job is 2 let ppl drink, not ask dem buy. De 1st customer tt drank reali gav me grea confidence.
Also some wierd ones. 1 drank onli 1 type of drink but bought de other!!de other drank I-Dragon, said "wah it taste duno wad, makes me feel dunno wad!" In de end he bought. Den de other say makes "my stomach feel lik hav snail". Den also hav ppl say taste lik pineapple, sour, sweet.......Got 1 damn 经典 经典:" y dey make dis color?Look lik urine!!"
I will avoid 3 types: maids, kids or children or teens, & construction workers (dey were wearing boots..den i found out dey were car-washers). not tt i despised them. Sori guys i missed. maids most likly wun buy cos dey go dere wif money & objective 2 buy onli de things dey nided or were asked 2. & dey nid 2 ask their "moms". den 4 kids is deir spending power. Teenagers is cos i shy..imagine calling some 1 ur age or younger "sir" & "mdm".Or scaly dey thot i 1 jio dem!
3 additional rules:
1. Onli approach those dat go past me (which means those dat go directly to de counter. meaning i lost bout 1/2 of de customers hu stroll about de store. u cant expect me 2 go ard de store 2 drag customers 2 my place!)
2. Dun approach those in a queue (they wun care & wld get irritated instead. Or if dey drink, dey may end up queuing up again & get angry)
3. Not those hu r leaving de store aft payment. (dey dun giv a damn bout u i guarantee)
Many-a-times i end up spending de time strolling, standing ard. or helping de cashiers cos dey dunno eng. Lik helping an angmoh identify wad he wants as "nata de coco", identifying coolants,reading labels which says "free wif purchase..".& also helping ppl find things, including a maid (buying 4 fwns) 2 find doritos, a guy 2 find cooking oil & de other 2 find pkt milo...
I sold 4 pkts of drinks on 1st day, 3 on 2nd & 2 on 3rd. pathetic!!dere reali wasnt many ppl. & i was so hopeful everyday, aft hearing de top seller sold off sll de available goods & had 2 ask some 1 deliver.
De ppl in de station were nice! I tok 2 those in cashier.De aunty on 1st day keep asking me 2 "walk ard", "dun stand dere". She said "ur boss wun noe", "we wun tell ur boss" & ask me leave early.Deres 1 girl quite nice, in both ways. Dunno y she was dere on 3 days. On 2nd & 3rd days, it was she hu rush me to go home. She keep saying "pack up, go home le. Stand 4 whole day le.." I 1ed so much 2 ask her how bout themselves & how long dey work. Dey were reali great! Jenny Auntie (issit?) & Elva & auntie & uncles, Thanks a lot!Wil visit u guys if i hav de chance
So tts all bout my 1st work. I still tinking 2 continue or not. though de pay is gd, its onli 3 hrs a day & wk ends. Its no reali worth 2 ravel all de way 4 3 hrs...
