if u got my facebook.... i quited my job finalllllllly... really can't stay anymore. it's a nightmare.....
same as last Mon, i washed dishes yesterday. i had once thought of it's better than being a waitress.... but i found that i'm absolutely wrong....
as i mentioned b4... there's a Vietnam lady taught me how to wash the dishes... she started taught me more other works..... which i'd never thought if it's my role or not..... at the morning, she asked me to do some clean up for the washing room... wiped the mirror, brushes the sink, toilet.... i even went to the male's washing room....
after that.... i think i could wash the dishes faster...
another waiter, Peter found that i became a dishwasher today, he wondered why...
i chatted with another new waiter at the break time..... i asked him how many days he trained.... he said 2-3 days.... since i was there almost everyday last week.... i approx. know how many days.... again, why i took 4 days?! 3 half day and one full day... felt being cheated again....
after that, i chatted with Peter.... i found that he also worked very hard.... he's the last one to get his meal.... he's another working holiday ppl from Taiwan..... worked here for 2 months already...
---------------------------------
i bought a tel card (called hello China card) for calling mum in cheaper way... used to be AUD$10, but now in AUD$8.... great~~~
but my mum didn't pick up the call.... 50cents gone....
---------------------------------
Camel came durning that break time... he called me and then i follow his instruction to find him... he said he saw me ready, but i watched through those passers-by, where's he?!
finally i saw him on the car....... it surprised me... he borrowed his frd's car...
he bought me to a restaurant, he worked there b4... he shown me where's James Street.... etc.
and also bought me to meet Mandy, the manager of the Singapore Restaurant that i been there b4... she said i can come next week.... juz start remembering the menu first.
during the ride, Camel called his frd asking if his frd if they seeking ppl...... really thanks for his help...
he drove me backed to work....... i asked him to remember the face of that woman.......
my nightmare started......
i continued to wash the dishes.... that vietnam lady taught me how to clean the toilet again... this time, using bleach... brushed the toilet again.... this time.... including the male's urinal (this time she shown me, but i need to do it next time..) and then swept the floor.....
as u know, i seldom do such thing at HK.... juz start doing these thing here since my landlord request us to keep the house clean.
and i'm not a maid or cleaner.......... why i have to do such thing?!
Wendy and the owner of this restaurant saw her taught me how to do these things.... that means they think i should do it too...
then i backed to the dishes again........ when i started to wash the steam cages.... she asked me to bring a knife..... she shown me to another side of kitchen, shown me how to use the knife to cut some carton boxes into piece..... a cook of the kitchen saw it and help me silently...
after i finished, i backed to the dishes again........... a while later, she asked me to work on those carton boxes for second round..... when i held the knife.... i really wants to kill ppl....
andrew was nearby, he sang a song for me.... Ah Suen's story.... i said, "enough! i almost can't cope already.... i'm not Ah Suen........." James, the nephew of Wendy heard that.... i know he understand how hard i was....
finally i finished but after i saw them how to trash those stuffs...... i think they don't have to do it like this.... brainless....
and then she taught me how to clean the kitchen floor.... u know how messy it was........... take away the dirty and wet anti slippery mat.... brushed and swept the floor..... Wendy started saw her taught me too much things to border me finish the dishes..........
when i was working hard on the dishes again, James came and told me a dinner box are for me to take away.... also after he requested me for help, he given me an appreciate smile....
i know he afraid me leave.... he and Jimmy paid lot of efford to train me.... but i made up my mind....
before off duty.... wendy came and checked how many things left.... i found that don't know when and who put a large pot of soup behind.... i didn't know i have to clean that too..... it's so damn heavy.... it's still got a half with ingredients... how can i do it.... we did that together, but she needed me to trashed that.... walked pass a horrible backdoor... downstairs.... a dark, rusty iron stairs.... juz like those violence movies that someone will be shoot there... why me?
i told wendy i don't want to stay anymore....
she asked why? can i still help for this wed? no.......... never work here again........ even waitress... without blaming on how she's unfair to me..... i juz said it's really hard for me and i live far away....
i got nightmare on how to clean up the tables and remembering the dishes.... when i was napping during break time, these things came up my mind.....
it doesn't matter on how hard the work is.... all i want is repect and fair....
i can't get all the pay yet... need to wait till it ready...
------------------
after those hard times.... i had a drink with Camel and his frds including Andrew at Milton... that Paris Tower...
haha, i finally understand Guys topics are Cars and Women.... that's always true ;p
Darling, I think this is the first time to leave comment to you over here. But after read your blog, I think I should left you some words.
ReplyDeleteRemember to refuse some extra duty before you act.....The Vietnam lady cheat you, may be you are too nice!?....but that's also the part for your experience as a waitress. I understand it harsh when you face them, but we think the opposite side, you learn it finally after these years. Also we should appreciate those people doing these harsh work for us! Jacky
um.... for that vietnam lady... from her face and smile, i think she just teaching what she needs to do... she didn't know i was actually a waitress instead of a dishwasher....
ReplyDeleteyea, they harsh me.... some ppl are just want me to pick up things faster... only that Wendy...
suen... i learnt that i won't be that "quail" anymore... just like what Chris said i am ...
April Fool is coming... it's should be not my day...
