Starbucks Eastpoint

Been working in SB EP (Starbucks Eastpoint) for the past two nights, and the exhaustion finally wore my out this morning. Fell sick, but fever has since recovered after plenty of rest..

Three words to sum up what SB EP's surrounding is like. Constricted, Monotonous and Exhaustion.

The area of the shop is extraodinarily diminutive. Diminutive is defined as being extremely small, and by adding the word extraodinarily, you can easily predict how cramped the store is. There is limited space for baristas to work comfortably, let alone a zone for them to rest and partake their meals during breaks. I had trouble washing the blenders, and it is fortunate that there were no slams (crowds) like Raffles City or Suntec, because its definitely not possible to have two individuals making shots and steam milk at the same time.

If there were any enjoyable moments while working, the boredom has overrided and erased all memories of them. It was pure agonizing to watch crowds walking into the stall, and out into the mall (well, the stall is an air conditioned linkage for people alighting from MRT or their buses to the mall.)

And never am I going to do closing in Eastpoint again, no matter whether I am coerced or persuaded to. The cleaner do not clean dishes nor those essential equipments. My mum had her vengeance- I have occasionally 'charmed' her to wash my dishes. Really felt like tearing my hair out when I was informed by AH NE to do the job myself, but well, I could still smile and remain cheerful. In fact, exhaustion did not cross my mind until I finished my work.

Gonna work there again. From 3.30 to 9.30pm. Blah.
ZUOHAN, OUT!
end of muses, rants & complaints.
