21/7/2007 Rosette restaurant project
Alright. We arrived at Somerset MRT at 8.30am and made our way to Rosette. It was Baljit Singh or Mr Singh's birthday so we sang him a birthday song and blah. Like of course if not we going to give him ang bao meh. Then everyone started to get busy with their centre pieces. We all had beautiful decos for our table and I shall not go into this boring part.
The interesting part happens during the serving of food. Overall, we did well, although i heard some complains from here and there. We had many guests, including Yanni's all time favourite, Mr Conrad aka Simpsons. There is also Andrew gray, Chen yen yin, her husband and her mother and father. There is also the memorable Xie Xian (Xie Ting Feng father). We were given roles of bartenders, captains, servers, runners as well as slackers. Nah joking. 2 incidents which I had deep impression of.
1. Xie Xian and his good friend came in to the restaurant. They were assigned to Siqi (Gone with the Wind) group table and I heard he had funny requests. He had this funny looking hair which i think that he thinks that it looks good, but it was totally crap. His hair was longer than my mum's. He acts like he is boss, he is king, he is empress dowager, he is god, but actually he is just like an ant with long hair. He bully siqi, as she was serving him. Asked her what was the garnish on the soup or something, which siqi dont know, so she went to ask the manager which was the right thing to do. Then she came back with an answer, and that guy asked something like what is the top layer of the soup made of, then siqi dont know again then the manager being very kind and nice signalled to siqi the answer. After which, this ant with long hair, told the manager," Hey, your staff don't know a shit, please send her to training." And its like WHAT THE HELL. We are not trained to be waiters, we are trained to be your bosses. haha. We are not trained 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 365 days, we are trained only for about 3 freaking days. HELLO. Xie Xian. Give you eat for free, still ask this ask that. FREE you know. If its me, I will diam diam and give everyone full marks. haha of course everyone knows i am a good samaritan.
2. Okay, the other situation which i am very familiar with is something that happened to myself. I kanna niao can you believe it. Okay, during the starting there was this old couple and young couple that came in seperately. This already caused a hoo-ha in our group as we had to explain the mocktail to them 2 times. Dont know how to meet then come 1 meh. TMD. haha. so we served them the mocktails seperately, the young couple later, since they came late. Okay then this was alright. After that, when they drink finish the mocktail, I didnt know that they finish. So I stand at one area and smile to all the guests, being as friendly as I am. Then my captain, Jacelyn, overheard what they said to themselves. They said," Finish mocktail so long already no ppl clear, that guy stand down there still smiling" HAHA. Like WTF, I know my fault lah, but its demoralising you know, say also say softer la, dont let ppl hear. haha okok just to rant.
