Hey Bloggie,


Yesterday got to work.

Haha. So i go to work! Haha.
Luckily the guests were not so fussy this time round. But, there's still cock-ups.

Why??

Let me tell you why..

First, the job was 2 : 3. Those who don't know what it means is that, 2 server to 3 table.
So, i was paired with this chinese guy named.. Xue Ying or whatever his name was. Haha.

Then, we have to serve this table number 5, 16 and also 17. 17 was told that it was a reserved table. Both of us felt relieved as you know reserved tables have lesser people. There's always a BUT!! But!!! A few moments later. The reserved table was filled up with guests FIRST!!! Both of us were shocked!! WTH!!! haha..

Then, the other 2 tables were aldo filled up. So, we did our job normally. There's always another But!!!! BUT!!! Both of us screwed up!! OMG!! When the couples were giving thier speech, we were supposed to stop service. So, both of us stand at a corner. We plan quietly there. He told me this ' When the speech is done, my job is to pick up the food at the back for all the tables and serve them and to get the new sideplates. Your job is to change the dirty side plate and top-up all the beverages and to change the chinese Jasmine Tea once it got cold. So, i did what is told. Guess what he did.

For only table 16, he changed the dirty sideplate and served them. There's always another But!!!! BUT!!! One thing that I am pleased with his work is that he took the dishes from the kitchen for the whole table. I am o.k. with that. There's always another But!!!! BUT!!! One thing that make my service slower is that, the guests' 'can i have this' ' can i have that' er...!!!! I am so kinda fed up with yesterday. We both almost quarell yesterday! - I mean me and my partner.

One thing that fed me up half way is that, i have to rush back and forth to the kitchen and once the drink filled with Orange Squash dropped on my Jacket. Haiz... But lucky... Nothing happen to me.. I am ok.

When the last course, which is the dessert, Matthew (one of the managers there) was like walking around and stop at my table because i served the dessert LAST!!!! Then Xue Ying went to Matthew and tried to complain that i am slow...What the ____ !!! Fill in the blank.


I don't know which part of the service that i am slow. Once the guests have gone, about 5 minutes or so, Matthew called the both of us one side and helped to settle our misunderstanding.


Matthew asked him " What's actually happening. Say what you are trying to say to me just now?''
Xue Ying tried to find his voice "I asked him to take the soup (which means dessert to him,whatever) but he never take the soup"
I just kept quiet not wanting a big quarell in front of Matthew.
Then i said this "I don't know what is the problem when i saw he was complaining to you about me. I also don't know why."
Then Matthew said to Xue Ying ''Yes, he was coming to the kitchen when Marchella (an indonesian girl) is picking up to find out who the last table is. So you can't blame him for not taking the dessert. What i see is not about the service but is about the communication. It broke halfway. You cant blame anybody for this. What if you trying to find work when there's no one for you to communicate with? You have to communicate to strangers that you called it partners. So now i want both of you to say sorry..''

I my heart i was like fucking him upside down! Why must i say sorry if I am not at wrong??? In the end, seeing he's not moving, and Matthew is blabbering something, i'll be a gentlement and offered my hand and said sorry. Not even looking at me, he shook me hand and said sorry.
Matthew said '' Hey brother, he offered his hand and you shook back unwillingly ar? Be a gentleman and shook sincerely. One more time!''
We shook and finish up cleaning the panorama.

While cleaning, i tried to make the situation not that tense by telling separating our job.
I told him to just clean the Suzanne and I stack up the chairs. He agreed. So yarh.
I rushed down to the office. The scanner that i was supposed to scan for stopping my job (for attendance) but the scanner was malfunctioning. The office was empty. So i tried using the Character Map and it works! Yay! Luckily i know about computer and stuff. Haiz..
Lucky!

I got $36 for yesterday. Haiz...
