COCKED UP!

Was it last week? Err... ok then. Last week, Gen went through the menu with me (aka training me to take orders).

Yes. I know. Set meals come with Soup of the day , main course, free flow of drinks and dessert. For ala carte meals, main courses come with either potato salad or fries. If they're ordering burgers, waitress (ME) must ask if they want their patty to be beef or chicken. If beef, ask how would they like it done.

*hao lian*

Obviously, I've memorised everything by now (cos it's been almost a week). But last Thursday was a different story...

Firstly, I kept forgetting to ask the customers how they would like their steaks to be done (rare, medium rare, medium, medium well, well done). Then, I forgot ENTIRELY that main courses on the ala carte menu came with fries or potato salad. So everytime I finish taking down orders, I walk over to the counter just to run back to the customer again because I took incomplete orders. BAH!

One Caucasian guy even had to remind me about the fries and potato salad.

Me: So let me repeat your order, sir. You have one B-52, an All Star and for drinks, you've got a coke and a sprite.

Customer: Yeah.

Me: Ok then. *takes a step away*

Customer: Are you gonna bring me potato salad or fries?

Me: OH YAH! What would you like your meal to come with?

Customer: Which one are you gonna bring me?

Me: Err... I dunno.

Customer: WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Later on that night, this group of teenagers came and sat at my station (bleah! must take orders again). Two of them asked for flavoured cokes.

For your information, there are only 6 flavours available. Either cherry, mango, lemon, vanilla, chocolate or coffee. One of the girls wanted the mango flavoured one. The other lady asked me for a "coconut coke".

Eh?!?!?!?! (now I laugh. But last week damn sotong, and I wrote down coconut coke).

I gave Bani, Kris and Mag the order list, they took one glance at it and went into hysterical fits of laughter. NOT FUNNY AH!!!!!


Mag: Kim ah, what is this? When my place start to sell coconut coke huh?

me: Huh? Don't have ah? Hahaha! NOT MY FAULT!!!! They ask for coconut coke one!!!

Mag: wah.. next time will have Durian coke or not?

Gen: Wah lao! I teach you the menu leh!! Aiyoh... throw my face ah!

Mag: You still got face meh?

me: Eh, wah piang! customer always right wad... they ask for it, i write down lor.


I, along with Gen, went to tell the girl that there was no "coconut coke" in Billy Bombers. CHEY!! She wanted a Cherry coke lah. How she manage to come up with Coconut coke, I also don't know.

Menu has been settled. Hallelujah!!!!!!


But there's still ONE little problem..... I DUNNO HOW TO SERVE MILKSHAKE AND MALTS!!!!

I was working the afternoon shift yesterday with Young and Su Yong. And it just so happened that ALL the customers who came to BB for their meals in the afternoon ordered either malts or milkshakes with their meals.

I complained to Young that I didn't know how to serve milkshakes.

Young: Nah, Kim! Go and serve.

Me: Huh?! Me ah? I dunno how to serve!!! Ask Su Yong serve lah!!!

Young: Not you then who? Dunno then must learn. Go.

Me: Don't want lah. Su Yong, you serve can?

Su Yong: Why me? You cannot meh? Try lah.

Me: Wah lao. I dunno how. Later serve halfway then cock up. Wah, die ah.

Young: Don't worry. I'm here.

Me: Yah. You're here and I'll be there *points at the table at the far end*


2 boys against 1 char bo. Who will win? THE BOYS LAH! I served approximately 10 malts and shakes yesterday. And out of 10 tries, I failed 8 times -_-".

Laugh, laugh. Go ahead and laugh. WHATEVERRRR. I am never gonna serve another shake or malt. EVER!
