Do I look like superwoman?Wah today i work until very pek chek.. until i buay tahan called my boss to complain. :x
Firstly, my boss last min sms me asking me to go to work earlier coz my colleague is sick and wanna leave early. I'm actually ok with that and it wasn't anyone's fault either, and i'm free already anyway. (Heng i got up earlier than planned to wash my hamsters' cages. I originally wanted to wake up at 10am.. but woke up at 7am instead. -_-;)
Next are the suppliers. I don't know what on earth was going on, the suppliers seemed to all decide to send their stock in today. I hadn't finish packing the stocks from one supplier and the next was there waiting for me to take stock already, and the cycle goes on and on and i couldn't seem to stop packing and the stocks seemed to be piling up higher. -_-"""
I bought nasi lemak for lunch, and ended up eating it for dinner (i couldn't wait anymore.. too hungry.. no strength left to carry heavy stuff), and while i was eating it, there were still piles of stocks waiting to be packed.. u can imagine how busy i was rite??? I worked like a dog man!
When the 9th supplier of the day came with another huge load of items, i really explode lor (not directly at the supplier of coz). Immediately after the person left, i called my boss to complain and she told me to list her all the suppliers that came today, coz she arranged schedules for deliveries and there're only suppose to be around 5 deliveries max per day. And i got 10 lor!! (Yea i counted, really.)
To top things up, what made the whole situation worse were some of the customers. Really, do i look like i got san tou liu bi??? Tell me the truth, i look like qian shou guan yin????? (Okay, this part is a little retarded. :x)
Anyway, i was serving this lady A who wanted to arrange for home delivery, and she was telling me what items she wanted. Then this other old.. lady B (i shall refrain from using obcenities) came and started asking me a whole bunch of questions about whether we have this item that item, where the items are, telling me to show her this and that, and yadda yadda.. u get the idea. I think i told her a dozen times to give me a min, but she couldn't seem to get it and understand what's first come first serve.
In the end, nice lady A told me to serve lor sor lady B first coz lady B kept pestering me and complaining about how our prices keep going up and that we should tell our superiors and all those shit. (Oops. Pardon me, i seem to be losing control of my fingers.) And at the same time, some customer C and D were asking me about prices and chasing me to do the cashiering.
WTF SIA!!! Don't they know the words patience and wait?! Couldn't they see how busy i was?? I was trying my best to concentrate coz so many ppl were asking me to do so many things at the same time leh!
Sometimes i really can't stand the ppl nowadays.. especially the ah sohs. (Not refering to those nice patient old ladies out there coz they're nice. :x)
By the end of the day, i managed to finish packing the stocks (i did that for the whole day man.. i might as well go work in a warehouse) thanks partly to a little help from someone, u know who u are. :x Hey i really appreciate it, just saying my thanks here in case u start thinking i'm an ingrate. :P
However, i'm sure all those things happen in any retail business, hence it doesn't affect my liking for the job. I still like working for Pet Lovers.. (despite certain disatisfactions) and there're also many happy times working there, regardless of whether it was at Holland Village or Hougang Mall. But like i mentioned before, i'll always like Holland Village branch the best. :P
Speaking of HV, i'm planning on going to visit next tue (29/3), on my off day. My supervisor's also asking me to go down, and i kinda miss the place and ppl and animals. So anyone wanna join me? Can see pets like puppies and hamsters wor~ :x
