Not Bad..

It's been over 2 weeks and I am not dreading my job yet. Which is considerably good.

Admittedly, I'm freaking tired. I'm sore all over. I don't like standing so long. 12 hours at home is not enough time to recuperate. Saturdays and Sundays due to the operational hours, I become so zombiefied. I get less than an hours rest during my 10hours at work. I'm get worried when customers have more than just orders to tell me. I tense up when people watch me as if I am a performer when I scoop ice cream. I can't get Fridays/Weekends off, meaning I can't hang out with friends as much. I have impulsively considered quitting. I hate the awkward moments

But, I still like my job.

Even though customers are scary, I have widened my view on the world through them. Eww that sounded corny.
For example, a bunch of customers came in eating VODKA CANDY. Yes, those wrapped up in those twisted little plastics which was coloured a shiny green. DID YOU KNOW SUCH A THING EXISTED? Didn't think so.

Speaking of customers, I have lots of awkward moments with them.
Let's go down the list shall we....
Top awkward moments
1. When they intently watch you scoop ice cream. It's worst when they stand in front of the bar and watch how you form the ice cream ball. (I usually don't dare to look up when that happens.)
2. When you go collect the bill from them and they are arguing/debating over who's gonna pay and they crack an insiders joke whilst looking at you. (Am I suppose to laugh?)
3. When the last person at the table of more than 3 people cannot decide what to order and slowly flips through the menu leaving the rest of us, including me, staring sheepishly at each other whilst waiting.
4. Whilst waiting for the NETS machine to turn on. Seriously, takes forever and the customer just stands there staring at you and the machine.
5. When they make a complaint. For example, "The waffle was spongy". (She didn't seem to be VERY angry, yet she was rather serious about what she said. I didn't know how to respond. I just told her to take the feedback form and write. Then I ran off.)

Btw,
JOYCE CAN'T SCOOP ICE CREAM. I SAW HER CHEATING. She put the ice cream in the bowl, looked at it, and after realising it was too small, rolled it off the bowl and back into the ice cream tub. TSK TSK.

Shit, doing opening alone with newcomer. AGAIN. I panic when that happens. Always.


Oh yeah, did you realize that jobs which are considered much better(Eg doctors) have white uniforms? Doctors have their white coat, Chefs are completely white with the cap and all (which is a bit funny doncha think? They have to deal with food and all, won't white make it harder to wash off?). Singapore's govt wears ALL white too.
From wiki: The term white-collar worker refers to a salaried professional or an educated worker who performs semi-professional office, administrative, and sales coordination tasks.

Ah another epiphany. Happened when my supervisor sent me to NTUC to buy bananas.
