My First Working Experience  

Posted by Jay Chua

I am really sorry for not updating...Its not like anyone would even bother to read anyway... I somehow had lost the passion in blogging, don't ask me why. ...Really no mood...But here I am sharing a little something with you all. ^^ Cheers.... Well, I managed to get a job in Adidas Heritage Sunway Pyramid. They pay RM5 per hour and the people there is very very nice..

I got to know a lot of new friends, all jolly and funny... Adrian(Tai Ko), John, Patrick, Gan, Kiong, Ming Chen, Ee Xin and a lot la.... Well basically my job is toget shoes, shirts and pants sizes... I am working in the Adidas Originals store which is also linked to Adidas Performance upstairs(constantly busy) and Add On downstairs... Its under group Thirty Six Sdn. Bhd.... The boss, Mr.Lye owns the group. He has 40++ outlets including Levis... Sooo, you can imagine how rich is he la... :P

The first day was quite tough because I am not used to stand for so many hours...My legs formed blisters... Sounds like Stanley Yelnats in the novel Holes only... LOL >.< But after a week I got used to it and I can actually stand for like 8 hours straight!!!

There are many types of customers that I've analysed so far... One of the type is the very annoying one and I mean VERY ANNOYING... They ask you to take this size that size, this shoe, that shoe, try try and try BUT end up didn't buy!!! WTH.... Waste people's time and energy. Mind you I don't really support the term that the customer is always right... Its bullshit... Sorry for my language but its a fact.... Another type is come in the shop, look see look see and when you wanna introduce the newest shoe for example, they ignore you and sometimes even ask you to shut up... Nevermind.... Tolerate for an XBox 360 is fine... Haha... However, there ARE really NICE customers too. They understand you, patient with you, and even say thank you.

I actually love and hate my job. Why? I love my job because the job is really simple and I get more pay than Starbucks (which you have to work your ass out just for 4.75)... I "hate" it because the SALES now is over and it is really quiet and boring but those jovial colleagues of mine never fail to entertain each other... Haha... XD So, its really fun la. You will understand when you come out and work. Do something beneficial!!! Don't just ROT at home... XD

Many people asked me if they give me any staff benefits. Yes, they give. You can purchase any shoes or clothes below Rm300 for 40% discount (uniform only). For normal stuff, you can only get 20% discount off. So, i bought a pair of new and very nice shoes, considered as uniform... ITs SuperstarII or a.ka. Adicolor... Originally it costs Rm 279.90 but after discount, its really worth it. The special thing about the shoe is that you can change the colour of its stripes anytime... :D Here, take a look:

See the plastic things that comes along with the shoe? It has 4 different colours for you to chose
I put all 4 different colours on 4 different sides...LOL... Nice Huh?
This is my latest look if you wonder how my hair looks like by now.... XD

Anyway, my off day is every Wednesday. If wanna lepak just call me la... I got to go makan already. Until then, this is Jason, signing out... :D
