Hey whaddaya know! its saturday!
im starting off my weekend here, blogging, either just a way to show that im still alive and yes, still unable to access msn. Other than that, its just the same.

Ya know, i dont blame customers for feeling frustrated when they are waiting for their late-arriving orders. Hey, you re not the only ones ordering you know. Anyways, i just want to point out about this customer. Its 12 plus and we have closed our dining in. So its take away.
They come in, asking for dining in. As its already closed, my colleague directed them to the dipping cabinets for take-away. (Fyi, dipping cabinets are just big-assed hollow freezers where we put our cans of ice-cream into. lol.)

As they were looking at the ice-creams, i was looking out for my kitchen partner, who was just a few seconds away behind these two, seemingly good natured customers. She took 5 for an oxygen break. lol. in other words, smoking. I signalled her to come faster cuz i really needed the loo. Its a good friday, bla bla bla.. Lotsa customers and ive been going at it for a a good 4hrs non-stop of orders in take-away and dine-ins with my partner.
Continuing on, while i said hi to the girfriend or whatever, the guy was on his phone. Clearly he didnt hear what i said.

Me: "Hi Ma'am , Sir, good evening. How are you today?"
typical singaporeans, dumbfounded when given these kinda service.
Lady: *smiled*
Guy: *on his phone* not even having the courtesy of smilling back.
Me: Do you want free ice-cream ma'am?
Lady: "oh? really? oh okay, wow. really free??"
Guy: *still on the phone* im assuming he still didnt hear me.
Me:"oh yes ma'am. free ice-cream. free ice-cream sample. WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
oh i love and always use this line. Some find it sarcastic but most of them laughed it off.
Lady: *paiseh alrdy*
My partner walks in. i told her i needed the loo and yes, an oxygen break too. so she takes over.
Lady: "Can i have.. err.." bla bla bla orders her ice-cream.

this time, my partner alrdy took over. Apparently, he stopped using his phone alrdy and saw me switching with my partner. So i stood beside her cuz i tot there was another group of customers ordering which they didnt. and i heard him saying this.

Guy: "Eh, i thought he taking the order. How come her. Funny leh."
in a disgusted tone and looking frustrated.
Me: "oh, would you like me to take your order SIR?"
Guy: still looks disgusted, didnt answer me back.
Me: "okey dokey sir."

i left.

aww.. i hope i didnt make you cry SIR.
its funny cuz for such a misunderstanding, they can conclude so fast that we have done something wrong as if we want to do it on purpose. Now come on, I work there. Im a person, rendering service in the name of my job. Im not a dog.
I tried to be professional about it. But i couldnt. Stared at him for a good minute. den i left.
Try to understand us. Even a little bit. my goodness.

im working night later. which is suppose to be my off day. Gym plans compromised again. Even my friends couldnt really commit to it. Asshole.
yet another weekend burned because on sunday, im working in the morning.
and what do you know. Dreaded monday. start the whole cycle again.
when is this going to end.
