Tired tired tired tired tired tired tired tired Tired tired tired tired tired tired tired tired lah!!!!!(>m<)
Hurmphhh!!I swear i'm going to sleep at least 12 hours tomorrow!! *grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!*
I was working for nivea as a promoter on friday, in a supermarket - S.C where 85% of customers are malay.
my malay mega sucks =.= so had a very hard time promoting products. *shakes head*
poor malay customers, have to tolerate my half half bucket malay mixed with half bucket english. tsk!
the pay is the same as the dentyne sampling job,no training needed,no supervisors and besides,there ain't many customers going in and out at S.C,
means that can makan ular eat snake long long time!
i thought.. "wow.. so senang punya job wor!!!!" so of course, i took up the job.
but the catch was..i'm working DAY ONE. so our K.L supervisor,
"T" told me that he's emailing me the letter of approval to carry out the nivea promotion event
for my mom,garfield and me, the catalog of the products which he said i should read and better memerize it ALL which consists of 6 pages and uses a 12 font size.stock checking list,lucky draw free gift list, score cards.which i carry the duty to print all of it out. and he's gonna mail me the free gifts,uniform, and a 2bags of lucky draw booth. which i only knew all of THAT,at night,the day before i started work.
So i got super busy at the last min, printing out stuffs, memorizing what the products do,preparing another set of everything for garfield...
gosh i thought that was hectic,
but if i knew what was in store for me next day i would leave that thought for tomorrow = =
ZE NEXT DAY ….
Woke up at 10 A.M ( work time starts at 10 a.m, but booth &uniform haven’t reach yet, so must wait.)
10.30 A.M finished breakfast, showered, changed into black long pants for work, booth &uniform still hasn’t reach.
11 A.M after putting on some mascara on eye lashes, went back to lay on my bed to sleep.
12.30 p.m. The booth finally arrived (=.=) woke up by mom knocking very hard & loud on the door.
12.45 p.m. found out that the booth wasn’t mailed to me? Only the uniform & free gifts. When I saw the uniform, I was called “T” up and asked.. “you’re sure this type of uniform can wear in supermarkets with a lot of malay customers meh????”
Because…
it looks like this.
S.C is located just streets away behind my house, shopped there for years, and I’ve never seen ANY promoters wearing uniforms like that.
“T” said .. “yeah I’m sure, just say it’s your uniform and they’ll let you in, no worries, we’ve already contacted them and told them EVERYTHING”
My guess is “DO WTF EVERTHING YOU CAN TO MAKE THEIR DAY AT WORK AS HELLISH AS POSSIBLE”
Reached there at 1p.m sharp (already 3 hours late for work -.-)
I thought I could walk through the staff enterance & pass by the security smoothly.
BUT!!!
The security said the letter of approvement for the nivea promotion for promoters isn’t CHOPPED AND SIGNED BY THE HEAD OF S.C.
Security said I’ll have to go find their head Miss.Yaki inside the storeroom/ office. So I said, “oh,okay then,could you give me a promoter pass to let me walk to the office?I’ll leave you my I.C”
She said (the security = =) : “no one can get through here if you don’t have the letters chopped / signed earlier.”
Okay. So now I’m in a scenario that looks like this.
V

(=A=)…
So.. I should just try to teleport to the office right? Or I should use super mind controlling powers and manipulate the security to let me pass?
Oh!!Oh!! I know!! I can duplicate Sylar’s moves from “Heroes”!! I’ll CUT THEIR BRAINS OUT!!! Muahahahahaha!!

But then, I don’t have super powers, so how ah?
Called “T” lah!
He replied to me “it’s impossible that you can’t get through, we’ve already told them about this nivea promotion event! ”
“but we need a chop and a sign from the head of S.C to let the security know that we’re REALLY and OFFICIALY hired to do this event.. “
“Huh? Really? But we don’t need to do these at KL”
Me thinking “DUDE…you said.. K.L”
“argh.. I’ll pass the phone to security, you talk to them yourself”
(2 min’s later..)
Security :” okay, you have a supervisor? I’ll let your supervisor pass &let her find miss Yaki”
My supervisor… IS MY MOM? = =
“T” said that the word “supervisor” for this event just needs to ensure that me/ Garfield gets to work, help us with setting up the lucky draw booth & take a few pictures then you can sit at home all day.
But then this time I had to ask my mom to find miss Yaki, my mom did not work in a supermarket before, I was so fucking worried she would get lost inside the back of the supermarket.
(even though it’s not a huge place, and she’s old & intelligent enough *she’s my mom = =* , still, if you can’t find the right person / staffs there give you the wrong information on where the person you’re finding is, you would still have to walk up and down, all over again and again till you don’t have any energy left =_=)
25 min’s later, she came back. My mom told the security she couldn’t find miss Yaki.
ONLY THEN.. the SAME security told her that.. “oh ya,I forgot to tell you Miss yaki pergi makan lunch lah.”
Wtf??
Then why did you still send my mom to find her when YOU KNOW that miss Yaki is on lunch break???!!
She said she FORGOT that miss Yaki went for a lunch break, I was standing beside her for 25 min’s and not once she “remembered” anything. She only kept criticizing my uniform, kept going on and on saying “ TSK TSK TSK! Why does your uniform look like that? By right you cannot even wear a uniform like that to enter the staff enterance!”
Obviously she’s trying to make things hard for us (>_<)mlm
My face was already as black as “pau ching tian”,

What kind of event organizer is this!? KNN, lao niang sacrificed at least 3 hours of chatting with arlex to print out ALL YOUR STUFF you asked me to do and memerize EVERYTHING! Then now you just throw all these shitty stuff to us promoters to do and you just sit back and RELAX!!?
*rolls eyes*
I really had an urge to just go home. But I still controlled myself and TRIED to look as calm as possible even though literally, I had flames and fumes of fire dancing above my head = =
Then, “T” ‘s supervisor or someone working with him called me. I think she sensed that I was already quite pissed, so she asked me to just go off and have some lunch with my mom first, then come back again after half an hour, she’ll find a way to help us go to carry on the promotion and she’ll still pay us the full payment for today even though we were late.
*ahemss* excuse me?
We were late? HOLY NO. IT’S YOUR STUFF’S THAT CAME LATE AND YOU GUYS DIDN’T PREPARE ANYTHING ENOUGH FOR US TO WORK.. SO IT MADE US LATE.
By the time my mom finally found miss Yaki & chopped, signed the papers, it was already 2.30 p.m.
The security still didn’t feel like letting me pass through. She kept complaining about the uniform and kept asking … “you confirm this is nivea’s uniform? HAVE LETTER ANOT?”
Oh mah gawdddddd!! PLEASE!! Just let me through!!
After 5 more min’s of “nice” conversation’s she finally let me in. (=.=)
Then.. “T” just had to send this sms to me.
“please forget everything on the training letter and just push sales for NIVEA FOR MEN products”

So it meant for me.. that I wasted at least 2 hours of my life memerizing all those products right?
And guess what? I spent an hour and a half doing stock checks before promoting, and before I leave work at 10 p.m. another hour and a half doing stock checks again.
SEE WHY?
Oh that’s not all. There’s 3 more corners of nivea products I didn’t get to take the photo’s of.
The thing about the display there is… you never know if there are hidden nivea products around the corner. If there is … you would just have to RECHECK all over again.
That means.. I’ve only worked for 3 hours at S.C = =” (I still went for 2 break times. Which equals up to 2 hours )
I’m already lucky enough to sell out 14 bottles of products in 3 hours (= =)
*BY LYING :rf :rf :rf*
Finally.. smile BIG BIG .
Then no one will notice ze truth. Muahahhahahahaha
The next day, garfiled ‘s turn to work.
This time.. it was my turn to find miss Yaki.. which the security said… SHE WENT OUT FOR LUNCH AGAIN.
By the time me and mom did everything, trained
And we found out that one of the legs of the booth fallen out
So had to screw back with a 5 sen coin because NO ONE IN THE SUPERMARKET HAD A SCREWDRIVER -.-
If we needed to lend one we would have to walk to the store room, get a LETTER that you’re borrowing the screwdriver and NEED TO SIGN AND CHOP AGAIN. (I can’t understand = =)
ALMOST FINISHING…
FINISHED!!!! XD
Our dinner (yummy to us, eat until super full only RM 15 for the whole meal)
By the way… anyone know what this is? I shot it with my mom’s boss digital cam at the storeroom for booths and free gifts of S.C
