My experience in the milk tea store
Igot a part-time job.
Today is the 30th day for me to work in the milk tea store. We call it a part-time job, but everyone knows we are doing a full-time job with a parttime salary. I work 10 hours every day and seven days every week. But it does not matter. What I actually care about is my chance to work here.
The truth is that I am not a smart girl, but diligent enough. The boss`s sister also works there. When the boss is out, her sister is in charge of the store. That is the first sign of trouble. During the first few days I was there, I almost became a troublemaker. They all said that if Athena is not making trouble now, she must be on the way to making trouble!
When I became a seller, I realized that being an employee or worker is far tougher than it looks from the outside. You might think that selling milk tea is such a simple job that you would even look down your nose at it. You are utterly wrong to think that. A milk tea seller’ s responsibility is far more than just“ standing”.
Every morning, when you are sleeping deeply or thinking about whether to go to class, I have started to boil milk tea, pearl, pudding and so forth. I need to prepare all necessary materials in one hour. Sometimes I even need to boil three or four drinks at one time. According to the strict introduction I received, strictlyI am supposed to remember each specific time for boiling milk tea or something like pudding. One second longer and it may be burnt. One second less and it will not coagulate. The complexity of the procedure is far beyond your imagination. Most of the time, it drives me crazy.
When I stand outside of the bar as a client, what I often do is simply pay, complain and wait. But now, I need to make milk tea, coffee and juice for the clients and listen to them grumble. However, I cannot quit it, because I have found that I love this job.
While everyone may regard me as a common, part-time-job girl, from my perspective, I am doing something glorious in this job. Every time when I give the milk tea to the clients with a smile on my face, I feel at the top of the world.. If my service makes you happy, I have realized my dream.
I wanted to write this story to celebrate my one-month-work. At the same time, I want to share what I have
learned:
In essence, I do not need to confirm a grouchy boss, but rather to show you a cheerful Athena.
I got a part-time job.
1. Be a person who is down-toearth. 2. Never beat around the bush during work. 3. Learn to give others a hand without ulterior expectations. 4.“ Dance as if nobody is watching you; love as if you have never been hurt; work as if you did not need money.”
