today memories are flashing left and right across my mind as i was assigned to manned in our special event. at usjr basak campus - intramural, about five years ago i was introduce into sales. i wasn't thinking that i could last in that kind of job - being a service crew / sales lady.others may think it's just easy however the odd thing about it if you worked in our company is: you have to bark.yes as in bark like a dog to attract customers.i once asked,what's the use of shouting out our product? if the customer is really up to buy your product i thought no need to push it as if it is not the salable type specially in food business.but as days goes by, i realized it is a plus factor.
it is always a fun recalling my first day as a trainee service crew: though the feeling was really awkward, just imagine shouting inside the mall.but then i made it i was able to do it, but at first i hid myself behind the ice tea dispenser. as days run i became comfortable with it that even when i am just slicing hotdogs or hotdog buns my mouth will just open unintentionally shouting "hotdog on sticks----nathans hotdog!".there was even a time when i was riding in a jeepney, instead of saying "lugar lang" what i said was: "hotdog on sticks",as in! it was no joke!, all eyes of passenger was staring at me. i was a bit shy about it, but i just ended laughing at myself quietly.
to date i could say my being a service crew was the most rewarding part of my career.("career talaga! as if i have one!...hehehe" ).what i really like being one is that happiness i felt inside every time i got a compliment from my dear customers who get satisfied with my service,and of course the "TIP" is included in, the music to my ear when they called me by first name.and when your "suki" would look for you when you are not around in your station. it is in this field when you got the chance to meet people from different walks of life that make it more exciting and fun. i am grateful that in this journey i have been there. i am thankful because it was the phase when my personality was developed. who i am today was because of what i've been through yesterday.
and today, i was able to experience it again! i had a tiring yet fun filled day! i was able to hear those sweet word :"ate" again. and it was really, really fun, i was able to escape the boredom of facing all those papers for a day!:-)
