#4 - The Law of Working Life

As for my very first job, I was so nervous and noob with zero experience when I stepped-in the working place. I knew nothing of being an efficient merchandiser cum promoter. Even during the first day, I could punch my attendance card wrongly. How silly I am, I thought. But never mind, I understand that learning from mistake is a very basic thing yet important in life. Well, after hearing another briefing, I tried to accomplish my job as smooth as possible. I have learned my duties and responsibilities, which I have to ensure merchandising standards of my company's products in all display area, included transferring stock(which I consider being a labourer) from back room to selling area, at the same time ensuring the correct promotion and pricing of the products all the time. Phew...quite challenging, huh. Moreover as a promoter, I am required to conduct myself in well-mannered way. Logically being friendly and giving a smile to customer or even to other workers is strictly recommended.

At the beginning, I felt absolutely bored and painfully tired in my leg part. Thanks to the low stock availability, I was so free that I could chit-chat with others and loitering all the way as if the market was mine. I could make many friends here, mainly Chinese and Malays, staffs & cashiers, supervisors, promoters, securities, cleaners, and even customers. However, unfortunately I have met some psycho-customers, a male with female dressing and other gay things. OMG, forget about it!!! Besides, so far all kinds of customers have been seen. Some are really troublesome idiots while there are also some polite-kinds. Well, what I can to is just be patient not to discredit myself. Last but not least, not to forget to thank my friends who are willing to accompany me during break time and visited me. YOU have energized my days!
