the bar is fun!

i was wrong. i'd rather being at the bar, standing and washing for hours than doing anything else. urmm..well, i think lah. because today, technically yesterday (it is already 12.53 a.m), i was supposed to do the service (taking orders). the moment i was showed and taught about the procedures of taking an order, i realized that running the bar is easier and fun and more classy. hahaha! :P and the most important thing is, we do not have to be pretentious.

to take order, there are at least 4-5 steps that need to be followed.
1. greeting
2. introduce our name
3. guide the customers with the menu especially the promotion
4. take order
5. repeat order

more or less like it.

but, before that, we need to master all the products, the add ons, the best combination to suggest, and of course the dos and don'ts for each order. hurmm... it takes quite sometimes for me to pick up everything. and of course, it plays with your psychology. we need to SMILE. when i am tired, i tend not to smile, subconsciously. but when i am at the bar, it is not a fake smile that i have to crack on my face. kan?? but, eventually, i did the bar and oh so grateful for it :)

and yeay, i got my apron today!!!! but it is not the Flavors of the World's apron. just the abstract apron. but it is nice! and my name tag, this is kinda funny. i have yet being given one, and the manager wanted me to take order (at first). thus, he took a name tag of one of the kitchen's crew, to be exact, the pizza maker (otai one) and gave it to me so that i could go take orders. and the name tag is written 'Nora'. okaaaaayy.. may name was Nora for about 5 hours! actually kak Nora is the most experienced worker there. she has been working with pizza hut for about 15 years. and now, she can prepare 10 different pizzas at one time, effortlessly i presume. how amazing!

tomorrow, i'll punch in at 3 p.m. Friday, the busiest day at this hut. and i have a very strong instinct saying that i am going to do the service, by the name of Nora. we'll see. i shall try. and must be able to do almost everything because i learnt that all the trainees will be posted to our latest branch, near my house. we will be in charge of everything there, with the guidance of a very few seniors, maybe. my brother now can make the pizzas with kak Nora as his Sifu. i now can control the bar. it's good to learn new things and to explore our abilities that we have never thought of! :)

oh oh, i have new gossips! but maybe i should just discard it the moment i get it. negative aura? nu-uh!

i know, people fond of gossips. we all do. so do i :P but for the moment, i am just too tired. maybe next time! hehehehe :D
