well, i was kinda nervous when i stepped into sushi king 15min before 2pm for my first day of work......
haha, this was the first time in history that i was actually there without any intention to eat....
the manager,Siew Yee gave me a set of uniform to put on which includes a top, a head scarf and an apron. Gosh, i was actually so clumsy that i did not know how to put on the apron and scarf correctly!!!!!
then, Ah Hong( i think that's he's name....)came over to give me some lessons on how to wash my hands the correct way( there is actually 7 steps). By the way, the washing of glasses,sauce plates, spoons is actually a part of the service crew's job. So, i ended up standing in the kitchen washing non-stop for nearly 2 hours!! gosh, i was so afraid that i'm gonna have to do this the whole day!!!
then, i went for my break at 4.30pm. That's the time i took my dinner anyway......
Thank god when i came back from my break, Hong started to teach me the most IMPORTANT part of our job.......handling customer.......
SO, this is how it works lar....
First, when customer comes in, we say "Iraishaimase" which means welcome in Japanese.
Then, we lead them to their table and try our best to recommend drinks that actually cost something(not green tea of course, since it's FOC...)
Later, we serve them their drinks, take order of food, place order, serve food, and at last end bill....
of course, we must also always be alert to refill o'cha(green tea).....
However, since i'm a newbie, i wasn't allowed to take order yet.....
so, i did practically everything except taking orders lar....duh?!
Later at night, bout 10something, we have to do closing....in which, i was assigned to mop the whole outlet alone( according to the other staff there, this was always given to those new workers.....bullying huh?)
OMG, the skin on my thumb was actually forced to peel off due to friction with the mop stick!!!!
so, at the end of the day, what was my thoughts??
my whole body was aching, my feet hurts like HELL( what did i expect since i was standing and walking for 8 hours?), and i really missed my BED.......
I was really very very tired!!! Seems that all the energy in my body has been drained off!!!!
the worst part is that i had a hard time sleeping because the pain and sore of my feet was killing me even when i'm lying on my bed!!!!!!
the conclusion is, yesterday was definitely on of the worst day of my life......
Anyway, MERRY X'MAS everybody......
and i'm gonna spend my Christmas in SUSHI KING.....=(
