so i started working and getting paid peanuts. im not complaining since i did choose this work becuase i want the experience. but i did not expect the shit i need to take, but its ok. im having fun, and it takes my mind off things.
during these two weeks, i have seen customers having two LVs in a Gucci wearing a Juicy and holding a Burberry. just kidding, but something like that because i dont even know some of the brands but people kept telling me its top brands. but i do remember meeting a customers who kept her rm50s in a LV and her rm10s, rm5s and rm1s in another LV while holding a LV.
obviously, they ordered and paid without caring the cash they are handling to me or what quality of coffee or cakes they will be getting.
most of the customers i met are pretty rich, or above average. while some was just here because the place im working is an atas place, so its cool to hang out but not knowing what they are getting. as long as they look cool.
while some of us worked our sweat and blood out and only earn enough (sometimes not enough close) to live by.
im saying this because i just got my pay cheque and i know how much the fulltimers baristas earn. its not enough for sure because i know how much the real world cost. even if i live below average (meaning i eat bread for every meal, no luxury, no tv, secondhand car, etc) i will still not have enough to live by.
im not boasting, but im lucky enough to have parents who are a tiny bit above average where im able to eat good food when i do run out of cash a.k.a pocket money. and one day, i took away some leftovers because im not able to finish it, and the people who worked with me told me he had never eat at pasta zanmai before.
im in shock.
i know hes not freaking rich, but all these while i assume no matter how less money u earned, u did able to afford pasta zanmai once because, well good food once while is something one will do and able to afford if one keeps enough money.
admit it, quality of lifes bar is getting higher and the richs are getting richer and the poors are getting poorer.
