Hi! =]
I actually finished working quite a long time ago. I worked till the last day of chinese new year only actually.
I worked for a total of 11days at some Chinese restaurant in Subang Parade. My pay was RM100 a DAY!!! =]
So all together I got .... (I don't need to tell you)
But I must say the money they pay me is equal to the amount of work I got to do. I think my work is even more than what they paid me actually. Working in a Chinese restaurant is pretty crazy because it is like PACKED everyday during Chinese new year.
I was given this job call the 'FOOD RUNNER'. lol. It sounds better in Cantonese. Translate yourself. So basically I carry the food from the kitchen, walk to the table and wait for the waiter or waitress to serve it.
Sounds pretty easy but DAMN!
- I got to carry food dishes on a tray.
- Sometimes 3 dishes on a tray.
- Holding a tray sucks because I got to use my wrist muscle. =/
- THE FOOD THERE IS FREAKING EXPENSIVE! if I drop it. My whole salary gone loh. Imagine me holding 2 big bowls of shark fin soup. Those big bowl thingy for 10 people.
- Then there is the CLAY POT. It has FIRE on the bottom. SIAO!
- FIRE!
- HOT!!
- BURNING!!!
- Another thing that has FIRE is steamed fish. But that is not as bad as the CLAY POT!!!
- It's pretty HOT sitting in the kitchen cause I'm required to stay in there.
- When there are a lot of customers, the managers and captain gets pretty HOT and simply shoot people. =/ (who knew swearing was such a common thing in a restaurant)
- After we served the dish, the table ask us why we serve so fast. *knocks head*
- But the worst among all of this is, when you are carrying the food and reached to the table, YOU DON'T SEE ANY WAITER AND WAITRESS. Then you'll be looking like a fool standing there trying to call somebody to help you while the customer just LOOKS at you. =.= Some got to find a place to put the tray and serve our self.
I guess that is all I can think of... for now.
But having to say all the CRAZY STUFFS happening in the restaurant, I had a blast working there. The people working there are just too friendly. We were like one big family. =]
