Total Disappointment. :(

went to work yesterday. i thought opening was at 8:15am, when it was suppose to be 7:15am. lucky mom woke me up. it's like, how the hell did i got mixed up over the timings?????

set the alarm clock at 6:30am. and i woke up as usual, for a SUNDAY's opening! -.- what the hell lahhs. and i'm late for work. reach there like, 8am? -.- but teng was nice enough not to scold me. thank you teng!

worked all the way until 5:45pm. was coaching a girl name pearly from PS. today is her first day for store training. and yeah, taught her 3 modules. food handling, brewed coffee and tea and cleaning the cafe, until 2pm. then i go for my break. for an hour. just about half an hour before i clock out. something nasty happened. which really saddens me a LOT.

what happened was :

the closers for sunday's night didn't do a very good closing. syrups pumps not washed, items not topped-up, trash bags not doubled. and i have to do all these for them. washing the pumps and topping up the items are not so pissing. what's most frustrating was the trash bags! after umpteen times of reminders, ' scoldings ', and no one is doing it. and leaving everything for me to do. once or twice is alright, but it's almost ALL THE TIME! and not just about the double bag-ing. they don't even clean the dustbin area, where milk stains and grinds are there. no one bothers and end up i'm always the one doing all these dirty jobs. i've feedback a lot of times already. and what upset me when i gave feedback to my the other full-timer was he actually told me ' kat, everything i look after, i very tired lehhs. ' is this the kind of attitude a full-timer should be giving? he spend most of the time on floor, work more hours than part-timers. then who should i ask to do all these? part-timers? and what more to say when he's a COFFEE MASTER? he shouldn't be thinking this way, no matter what. cause his responsibilities is much higher than any part-timers. his sense of belonging should be even higher than them. but NO, he's not doing anything. he's not showing me his commitments. he's not doing what a full-timer suppose to do. and even after so many times of reminding him, i give up telling him or giving him feedbacks. OR using the star skills starbucks had inculcate in me on him. all is useless on him! he doesn't even listen to me, doesn't even respect me for who i am, as a cathay's full-timer for the past ten months. he shows no respect to me cause i've yet to get my black apron - coffee master. just because of this, he's not respecting me. well, i don't care if he respects me, but the fact that he's not doing a good job is good enough for me to tell him he's going no where with his current attitude towards work. all he think of is ways to go all the way up. FUCK THAT. you're not up to a manager's standard! yes, i'm pissed. and what pissed me even more was when i went up to my store manager ( not being the FIRST time approaching him ), and try telling him all the problems, with all my accumulated frustrations, and he told me off. scolded me for using the wrong way of giving feedback as a learning coach. saying i shouldn't use the term ' full-timer ' to push a person. and he screamed and yelled at me. and today, is the first time ever for the past ten months in cathay, i cried. felt really upset by my store manager. very very extremely disappointed with him. ever since the day he was announced as a store manager, he changed so much. he's no longer like before. he always say we, the partners don't communicate with him, yet when we try to talk to him, this is the kind of reaction we get from him. and how are we gonna ever wanna talk to him again? have he ever thought about this? after arguing with him, i left the office saying ' then i think i shouldn't even say anything anymore. '. it's really disappointing what he's turn cathay into. yes, cathay is growing, we're getting to the top. but the partners isn't up to standard. they're getting from bad to worse. seriously..

after i've done everything, i went to smoke with teng, my shift manager. had a chat with her, and she asked me to let go of everything since i'm leaving already. no point caring so much and they don't appreciate me at all. they don't see me doing things for them. they just feel, it's because i'm leaving, that's why i'm acting like this. but the fact is, i've always been doing this. but just because i tendered my resignation, everything changed. it's fuck up, i know. but what can i do? i'm really leaving and there's nothing i can do now. i thought i could at least inculcate a good habit to them before i leave, but.. this is what i got. teng told me to forget about everything, continue to go to work with light hearted and finish up the last one month. yes, i shouldn't care so much no more. and when i was chatting with teng, i cried again. hais. just feel really heartache to see cathay like now. after all my hardworks and efforts to keep this store well.. it just turn out to be another bad one.

yet the killing one is to know your store manager actually feels that you disrespect him cause of yesterday's incident. if i don't respect him, why would i wanna go back to help him when i'm freaking on hospitalisation leaves? when i can jolly well not go to work and do what i want?? with just one sentence, i'm back on shift to cover up whatever shifts he needed. sacrisfying my skating time, the time i can spend with prince.. for his store, yet he still thinks i disrespect him? WTF? this is the killing one. i've never put in so much effort in a F&B industry before, yet when i put in all my efforts and try to do the best i can, i got this kind of ' appreciations '. thanks ah. for all the memories there.

- THE END FOR THE PISSING STORY. -

after talking to teng, eddy pop out of nowhere and got me frightened, as usual. chatted with him and teng went back into store. and about half an hour later, javier and sky reached. and again, i got frightened by sky, making me screamed damn LOUD! i swear! even sky himself felt embarrassed cause everyone was looking at him after i shouted. headed to nihon mura for dinner with them. food was cheap there. had 5 plates of shushis, a plate of unagi, a chawamushi and the bacon thingy with mushroom, which was delicious. ^^ and thanks to the three of them, i felt better with their jokes and stuffs. (: they made my day better after that. then slack outside cathay after dinner. and just so happen i saw my ex-colleague from cedele, ah long. >.< thanks for everything baby .
