The other day I was wondering what the hardest job (or position) in Sparta is. You know, other than the deli or bakery clerk, we also have those cashiers, CSRs (Customer Service Representatives), pharmacists, meat clerks, florists, janitors, baggers (those who help customers on bagging their purchased items), and even fuel clerks!
Then I asked Sally.
"The deli" was her firm answer.
She went on to explain that we are the only ones who are constantly and steadily busy for most of our 8-hour shifts other than the cashier. Except the very fact that cashiers are not required to clean their counters or stand up for eight straight hours.
That makes the deli job a hell lot harder than any other jobs in the supermarket.
"Then why did you choose to work in the deli if you know it was the hardest?" I asked her.
"Because it was the only job available when I first came in here. I would've chosen to become a pharmacist instead, if there were an opening in the pharmacy...And why did you choose the deli job"
"Err...it was a random pick"
Yes people, that was right.
The hiring manager gave me freedom to choose whatever job I wanted to take in Sparta when I was first interviewed, and I willingly and haphazardly chose the hardest job there.
Dammit.
That sounds the most foolish mistake someone has ever made in his lifetime ^_^
ReplyDeleteBut at the very least, they can give you the pin with the words "the most hardworking employee of the laid-back age" on it...
