And not to mention all the shit you get... sometimes, customers ask questions that you just have to answer... Like... "What bread do you use for the sandwich? Is it wholemeal?" I'm like, is there a frickin' difference what bread we use? It's still bread right? And sometimes, one question isn't enough... The person who asked that question also asked, "Is the fish and chips fish breaded or battered? Can put less batter? Why dun have the chicken and mushroom pie? (The hell if I know, we just stopped making it) What comes with the set? (When just a minute ago, they pointed at the board and asked got set ah? The description was right there as well) How big is the portion? I want a light meal, we going next door for desserts later... And in the end, they end up eating desserts from Big O instead... what the hell... Ask so many questions... so picky about food, then cook it yourself lah!! Hur...
Luckily, that was only one customer... Not everyone was like that... Actually, the young adults and expats who go there treat the service staff better than others... I usually get more "thank yous" from them, rather then the families and other Singaporeans... there was a group of 7, think 2 of them are shotgunned, cos they had a toddler and the parents looked quite young, still got traces of beng-ness and lian-ness... heh... Knn... That group ah... ask them whether I can clear their plates, they bo hiew me... ask whether can refill their water, also dun care, just keep on talking... so pissed, I just cleared their plates and let others top up their water... I even had this 2 old Aussie ladies who were quite sweet.. when I arrived with their drinks, one of them went, "Oh, thank you very much, that's lovely, thank you!" So nice... heh...
The expats and young working adults are also better tippers than others... I always manage to get some tips for the 'pot' that we have when I send them their change... hee... There was one customer that made me kinda pissed... This person's change was $3.70, a $2 note, one 50 cent coin, a dollar coin and 2 20 cents. He took the note, the $1 and 50 cents... He left the 20 cents on the book obviously as a tip... BUT, then the chatty China woman next to him, while still talking to him, picked up his 20 cents and put it on the table for him... Arrgh... Maybe it IS true... that Chinese people cannot give you a bargain, as quoted from Russell Peters... heh...
Oh well... at least I kinda enjoy what I'm doing... gives me a chance to study people too... heh... can even start to tell which 2 guys are gays... hehe... Wheelock has quite a number of gay couples walking around... Sometimes, they're very obvious... sometimes, not as much...
Then there are the couples you can look at too... see them all lovey dovey... or just sitting and chatting... You know, maybe there is some truth to more women liking geeks now... saw this couple... the girl was really good looking... but the guy was a total geek... even my fren commented about how the guy managed to get a girl like that... heh... So there's still hope my geeky friends!! Hehe... you just have to find the right woman... Or find Hitch... =D
Oh well... I still have 3 more shifts to work... Thurs, Fri and Sat... Fri and Sat are going to be killer shifts cos it's the dinner shift... gonna be a hell a lot of people there... Hope we can cope... hur... Any of my freinds who want to drop by, feel free too... Heh... but no discounts hor... I'm still a trainee...
