Portability/What is Your Problem Woman?!

Yes! Nowadays our mobile number is portable to other network of our choice however portability among managers and baristas are yesterday's news to me. Looking at positive side, I know a lot of other Starbucks partners(that is what we call Starbucks staffs even though we are not offered any shares).

I started at Sunway Pyramid. It was a very busy store, so busy that I don't even have time do pee. Then I was transferred to SunMed. This is the store I love most. Lotsa food, lotsa rich people, lotsa hot nurses, lotsa educated people(referring to the doctors), lotsa educated baristas(Monash & Sunway College students) and the most important of all:- lotsa biotches!

Owh! If I blog about biotches, then the tittle should be change to other appropriate tittle. Ok lemme add Portability slash What is Your Problem Woman?!

When I decided to join the managerial team, I was aware that the managers are very mobile. During my 6 month period being a manager, I had worked in various stores such as SunMed, PGRM, Kajang and JCS before I decided to quit because of better offer. Anyway what I wanted to say is actually I had one new manager in my current store. What I envy her the most is, besides pretty she is also multi-lingual. Unfortunately when I asked her, Parlez vous Francaise? She answered, "Non". So frustrating.

Before I end the post for this week, I had this one customer today who bought ONE(not 2) Grande Latte and requested for everything. Initially I didnt try to meet her ridiculous demand. She requested for a shopper bag. I gave her the normal small bag to fit her drink. But she requested for the paper bag with handle. I gave her. She made another request, can you put the tray inside so that it doesn't move? I told her, hey woman, what is your problem, you already drank it by holding it with your right hand why on earth you want to put it in shopping bag? (Yeaa.. I wish I could say that). What did I do? I say, I'm sorry ma'am, let me help you with your drink(with 100000 kW fake smile).

So the moral of the story is, you are lucky I did not put a spell in your drink. If not, sure ko jadi katak lepas minum!
