today slam slam slammed!!!
(slam in italiannies means...very busy)
imagine me serving 1 big table (9pax) & 3 other tables(2-4 pax)
all orders under me...
imagine me walking here and there refilling drinks, taking orders, serving bread, sending drinks, clearing plates, etc.
that's a waitress's life..
now i know the taste of working so hard just for a meager income.
and i vow to make more money than all the managers/bosses there.
then few years later, I'll dine in Italliannies Sunway Pyramid,
ordering only the expensive food and wine,
ordering the waiter here and there,
complaining if the food aren't up to standard,
tasting a few bites of the food and ordering them to be cleared,
scolding the manager for such bad food,
'you call this a PASTA?'
then if i like the waiter, i'll give him a big tip,
or else, i'll just pay with one of my dozens of credit cards, sign and leave.
that's what those stuck-up, rich people do.
have a taste of your own medicine ONE DAY!!!
on the other hand, i get to meet all kinds of people.
and that's what I'm learning.
there was a VVIP(very very imp person) this evening, a chef from America, and I saw how all those bosses in Italliannies kissed this guy's ass.
oh this American guy was talking non stop for don't know how many hours, telling jokes and stories. and you could see those bosses fr Ital listening intently, laughing the trying-so-hard-to-not-sound-fake-but-still-do laughters at the correct punch lines.
esp the one sitting beside the american chef, he was like, making this exaggerated face showing that he was really interested in everything the chef had to say; and when the others talked, he just smiled not so widely and drank his water.
i was thinking, 'xu yao ma??'
and....
i learned to smile at a guest even when he/she is not smiling back..
can u imagine??
before, i wouldn't even bother to smile at someone who doesn't even wanna smile to me..
and yet..i FAKED smiles everyday.. those big huge grinssss...
some are fake..some are sincere...you'd never know...
LOL..
and actually, Italliannies food sucks.
(shhh...)
