I've had real fun today. Za, our operations manager, called us down to the cafe for staff training. We learnt some rules and regulations of day to day operations, signed a contract, and learnt how to make some drinks! As I was reading the contract, I was a little amused because I saw an exemption clause I was familiar with, having studied commercial law myself. I couldn't put a finger to what the actual name of the clause was until I got home. Unable to resist my curiosity, I flipped through my law book. Ah there it was. Contracts in Restraint of Trade. Enforceable if terms are of legitimate interest to the covenantee, time period within reasonable scope, and the restraint is of public interest. Cool.
It's a huge privilege to be a part of the Settlers family. We get free flow drinks and games, on and off duty, as those off-duty periods can be counted as training for us. We don't even need to go for promotions anymore. We can just go anytime we like, and help ourselves there. There's even better news. Now, you guys, our friends, can get a 10% discount off the total bill when you come during our working hours. Otherwise, you get a 20% discount if you come with us when we're not working. Yay! So everyone do come and visit us! =) Cuz we're allowed to personally host the games, serve and play with you guys. VIP treatment really.
Za said Kh and I can expect a pay rise faster than the rest because having been regular customers ourselves, we already know how to play many different games. That's a huge headstart because it means less training is required.
After he ran through all the important stuff with us, he taught us how to make a few drinks like strawberry comfort and blueberry milkshake. Then, we were left on our own to learn/play games.
As it's a weekend, the tables were quickly filled up, and Kh and I had to go home because there was no more room for us to play. We went to Aston's for dinner (just 3 shops away). When we were finished, it started raining very heavily and we couldn't go home cuz our bikes were parked outside and it was all wet. So, we went back to Settlers and just hung around the kitchen (there was no place for us to sit outside). Seeing the rest (who were on duty) so busy, we decided to help them make drinks! They were obviously very pleased to see some extra helping hands. First hands-on practice we've had. Haven't even been scheduled for our first day of work and we were already doing the kitchen stuff. Woah.
It was all independent work. We were only shown how to make the milkshake once, and when the order came in, we just did it. When we asked the staff how to make certain drinks (if we should follow the recipes or not cuz some are printed wrongly), they were like,"Just experiment with it yourself. If not nice, just make again." Woah. I love this job. Hah.
Settlers' tagline: I play games for a living. Do you?
P/s: I'm eligible for the progress package! Yeah!
