Today I got to work in Starucks Maju Junction for the first time… Syena called me last few days, said that they are lack of partners there… Since I have nothing on today, I decided to help them out.. So I was assigned to opening shift at 8:30am… =)
As I usually arrive at work early.. Today morning I arrived at Maju Junction about 8am.. I sat infront of the store and wait for the Manager on Duty (MOD) to come… Then I wait and wait and wait.. Luckily I had my mp3 and comic to accompany me.. >.< Then I wait and wait and wait… Wait and wait and wait… Until 8:30am I still didn’t see anyone appear… =.=" Only at 8:35am I heard someone was opening the chain locked on the door… There they are… Anuar, and also the MOD - Omar, someone who I got to know today… ^.^
After introducing ourselves, we started to arrange pastries and prepare everything in the store… I was quite blur in the morning, as 1)I had not enough sleep and 2)Not familiar with the store… And then I realised why they did everything slowly… ‘Cause the store’s business is damn slow… After preparing everything, me and Anuar started to stand at the bar doing nothing.. Thinking what we can do… No customers, the store is clean enough… Then Omar came in and join us standing while watching people passed by in front of the store… XD Basically that was what we did the whole day… And the store is freezing cold… I can feel both my hands are numb.. =.=" So most of the time we stood at La Marzocco(espresso machine), on the steam wand, and get the heat from steam wand.. =.="
As we had nothing to do.. Omar suggested we do food tasting on our to-be-released sandwich, CrabStick salad with whatever bread (Forgot the name.. Too long) It’s a chilled sandwich with crab stick but due to the low temperature of the chiller.. The crabsticks were frozen.. We bit ice… =.=" Ermmm I don’t really like that sandwich though… =P
During Anuar’s breaktime, I got to chat with Omar as we both were just standing at the bar area.. He’s a nice supervisor.. Just get promoted last few weeks… =) Hope will have more opportunities to work with him.. I had pizza bun from Giant as my lunch today… Went for break around 12pm… Came back and continued with my "standing at the bar" job.. =P Even if I want to wipe or clean something also, the store is just too clean already… >.< Then not long after my breaktime, came another partner, Hadi.. And Ferry, our handsome store manager also arrived.. =P
After that, once again Ferry did food tasting on the remaining sandwiches that we haven’t try.. Firstly is the Smoked Tuna with Chilli Cheese Bread (I guess that’s the name, another long name =.=) It’s quite nice… can taste slight capsicum but it is not spicy… Delicious Tuna chunks.. XD At least is better than frozen crab stick =P.. Then we tried ………. what was the name… =.=" Chicken Waldorf with don’t know what bread.. It’s chicken sandwich with green apple slices and walnuts.. I like this… Very nice.. Sweet and tasty… XD
Then Ferry realised there are still some loaf cakes haven’t tried.. =.=" That is the ………. I forgot the name again… Oh ya.. REDUCED FAT orange pineapple loaf cake and REDUCED FAT chocolate swirl loaf cake… So we sampled on them along with Hadi.. Although they are reduced fat but I really ate too much la, plus the pizza bun I had for lunch… =,= Do 100 times sit up also useless… Guys, remember to support our new food which will be available starting from 28th December.. =) Then we also had a try on coming promotional drinks, Double Vanilla Latte and Double Soy Latte.. Both also tried before.. -.-
Then there was when Tan arrived at work.. He’s late.. He doesn’t talk much… At least with me.. T.T I’m not nice to talk with meh.. Why didn’t bother me… =.=" Haha, don’t want care about that.. Then not long after that, that was time for me to go back.. Yeah~~~ At last… Really fun working with partners in Maju… They are funny.. Especially Anuar (He’s partner from The Mall though =P) Really hope that I will still have chance to work with you guys…
Hehehe.. Then since I off work quite early.. I decided to go back to The Mall to claim my planner and pin… They have been keeping it for centuries.. Tak mau bagi saya… T.T At last Hazim gave them to me… After so long… Then I went back together with Syena… =) And that is the end of the story… =P I’ll be working on Christmas too.. Pity me.. T.T But triple pay ne~~~ XD
P/S: Sorry, today’s blog is pretty long… =P
