My first day as Barista.
Well yeah, as mentioned in the title. I am hired as a Barista/Cleaner/dishwasher... My shift was from 5.30pm till closing which is roughly about 11.30pm. The day kinda passed by slowly but i managed to make some frappes today and was a pretty fast learner. :)
I've started meddling with the coffee machine...and i dont find it as something very new to me since i have one small coffee machine at home. I find being a barista is fun. But having to do other things such as washing mugs, dishes, mopping floors, clearing sewage tank..wasn't fun at all. I hate washing mugs because the detergent is too strong that it starts giving me rashes around my fingers. =\
But mopping was alright..If only they had good music to follow the beat. I remembered i was really happy mopping the floor back at zanmai since they always put on Mika's songs..or Michael Jackson's - Beat it!..and not in starbucks...all i hear was...ntg much..only when u're outside..sitting then u can hear the music..if u're at the bar..no music. =\
And... after work in Zanmai i dont need to worry about transportation back because Carmen, my ever lovely Person In Charge would always always make sure i have someone to send me back. And it's either Eliza..or herself. And for that, i'm very touched... :) Starbucks none lor...(At the moment)..Gotta talk to Emie, the store manager....since she kinda said transportation could be provided since i stay so near. yeah.. today parking is RM9 btw...=\
Yup..i kinda made, frappes and drinks today..The only beverage i wasnt so sure was hot drinks..cz i guess u need a certain skill to steam milk and also prepare a nice beverage.. But other than that..life is pretty okie.. not as flexi as pasta.
Break time for
starbucks : 8 hrs, 50 mins break
pasta zanmai : 8 hrs, 2 hrs break
Happiness level on first day:
Starbucks: 2.5/5
Pasta Zanmai: 4.8/5
bah.. too spoilt ody lar me... tomorrow's gonna be a better day!
I gotta juggle between house chores, IELTS, interview, church, going to and fro to Mont Kiara (25-30mins drive from my house) to help my sister wit something....
in times like this... i really need God.
