Pressure and the Patsy

Boss sound aku Jumaat lepas,

“Salah dari segi undang-undang kalau biarkan Liza (cashier kat kaunter aku) serahkan barang pada pelanggan. Sepatutnya serahan dibuat oleh staf terlatih supaya barang yang betul diserahkan pada pelanggan yang sepatutnya,”

Boss cakap je memang le senang. Tapi kalau Boss betul sayang kat aku, dia akan bagi aku staf terlatih tambahan.

Kaunter aku sekarang cuma ada EMPAT staf terlatih. DUA dah busy ambil order dan pack barang. DUA lagi busy key in dalam computer sambil periksa barang. Akhirnya tinggal cashier je le yang boleh tolong bagi barang kat customer.

Boss tak kira. Wrong is wrong. Liza kena tunggu salah seorang daripada kami untuk serahkan barang pada customer. Bila buat macam tu, kerja bahagian lain tertangguh sebab kena tinggalkan sekejap untuk buat tugas serahan. Masa kerja overall untuk memenuhi order setiap customer bertambah. Customer pulak marah sebab lambat dapat order.

Tapi kalau biar Liza serah, dia tak reti nak check barang. Kalau salah barang boleh bawa masalah pula pada customer.

Pilihan satu: Customer bising dan marah sebab barang lambat
Pilihan kedua: Customer susah sebab dapat salah barang

Kesimpulan: mana-mana satu pun yang aku pilih, fail borang aduan untuk kaunter aku sure akan jadi makin tebal
Pagi semalam aku ambil aura photo kat Amcorp Mall. Merah menyala! Sah sah tengah tensen!!!

AND I have joined yet another multi-level marketing scheme (MLM). I’ve joined two schemes before this. I wonder if I’m just a sucker for these things.

The first time, I entered Nu-Skin willingly. My face was like pizza and I desperately needed to increase my personal saham. The products ARE satisfying. You can really see the difference on yourself (as well as your wallet :P). Nu-Skin anyone?

As for the second time, I was brought to an Omegatrend talk totally unawares, like the proverbial lamb to the slaughter. I really could use the money then so I took the bait and was reeled in without a fight like a dead fish.

The problem with these two schemes is that they are high maintenance and require customers with humongous spending power! Unfortunately, I do not move in those circles and socially, I’m hopelessly inept.

Ah, what the heck! If you never start walking, you’ll never reach any destination. Hope I read the map right this time and get to where ‘X’ marks the spot! ;)
