Trust No One

Finally I'm here updating again since I'm getting pretty sick of all the ugly bachelors. I still don't agree with Isaac that the last post was controversial. Everyone agreed that caucasians have better features and are better looking...LOL!

Well I am again 'shiftless' for the next whole week until the office decides to call me at freaking 10.30am to let me know that there's a shift at 2pm on the same day. That was what they did to me last Wednesday. I just don't understand why can't they plan ahead.

Anyway I have a story...I was working at the bar at Telstra Dome just now at 1pm. I was assigned to the register by the "team leader" although there were already 2 active registers. There were 5 of us working in that bar. So there were only 2 person behind the bar...an old guy and the "team leader". At the beginning it was not that busy so all 3 registers were pretty quiet. Oh before I go on the system there is..ppl order drink from the bar and pay at the registers in a separate area.

Anyway after the first quarter it got really busy. The queue at the bar was really really long and the queue at the registers were pretty short cos the freaking 2 bar ppl were soooooooo slow. So obviously with some common sense, I turned off my register and jumped behind the bar to speed things up. And then the "team leader" saw me jumping behind the bar so he decided to take a break!!!!!!!!!! Well...ok never mind...I sabar aje! I still can cope with the long queue although the freaking old man was more concern at cleaning the freaking trays than serving the customers. So I was like a speedy gonzale..

Then the "team leader" came back from his 15 minutes break and decided to jump behind my register (I think it's because the register beside mine was a really hot Iraqi/Aussie mixed girl). Anyway I cant tell him not to right cos he's my "team leader" although I really regretted not asking him to fuck off from my register. You know why? Cos by the end of the night when the other team leader from the next bar came to do our closing, my freaking register was down $140 dollars. (Usually the team leader does the closing but my freaking "team leader" doesn't know how). Anyway I stood firm and said that I wasn't behind my register the entire time and that the freaking guy was at it for most of the time.

To my surprise they said oh it's all right...It usually happens. We'll fix it!! Then I was like WAT THE FUCK?!?!? They don't even have a freaking system! How can you just rest the case when you are short by $140 dollars. Geezzzzzz....I have nothing to say anymore except the fact that their own staff does not have a clue on what they are doing and that someone could have just walked out from there a hundred dollars richer and still they'll be all right with it. How fucking dodgy is that?

Anyway here are some pics from the Amway event that was held for the past 3 weeks at the Melbourne Exhbition Centre. You know the one where all the chinese ppl with no class were at. The ones where they use their dessert spoon to drink their soup, who pulled out the flower from the centre piece vase at their table and the ones where they bang on the tables to cheer instead of clapping. Yep that's the one. I sort of sneaked in my camera phone and took a few pics. The supervisors there wouldn't have seen me doing it cos there were 200 staffs and 200 tables.






Oh ya...did I tell you that the whole event (4 lunches and 4 dinners) cost a massive $32 million AUD? Yeah...the lighting, the staff, the food, the decoration, the performances, the alcohols. $32 million AUD? Hmmmmmm......I think Australia is just as bad as Malaysia! If you know what I mean?

2 bullshits:

It wasn't controversial.. Just an interesting topic that was debatable and open to lots of differing opinions..

When it's so busy behind a bar and ppl are bustling around, it's so easy to cheat and pocket a few notes. What's stopping anyone from just 'forgetting' to punch in a couple of drinks and pocketing the money. In fact, i think it happens quite often..

Yea, 32 mill is quite crazy. works out to $2000/person/meal..!
