Finished Pepsi Part Time...

Total of 15 days of part time working in Fajar Pandan Indah, so tiring, i hardly slept at nights due worrying my payment on this job, and finally i sort it out... I don't get paid before Chinese New Year, cuz my superior went on leave and i called the marketing company's executive Yutesh, he said they might reply my inquiries after Chinese New Year, probably on 6th February... Damn it, how could this happened to me, one single me without much money to spend or just totally broke for me to think of going places during the festive... Fuck...

Ok, after i've told my start out stories, in my progress working as part time Pepsi Promoter, i found myself very isolated from the other part timers. 5 of them, from Drinho, Yeo's, Carlsberg and Tiger Beer. No doubt, they're fucking kiddos, whenever i came in to work at 1pm, mostly they'll work like bulls and horses carrying their goods from upstairs to downstairs. After all their hardworks, they'll find some privacy place outside the supermarket (an extension canopy was build for the drinks' storage) and start chatting loud in vulgar, every topics came out from their mouth even if there's customers browsing their selection of drinks. I don't really interfere or joining their chit chats cuz they really make me fucking sick. First, they would speak foul languages in front of the customers, and i believed that the customers realised the kiddos' ages, and found them simply irritating and left without asking for assistants or buying anything... It's fucked up to have those kids around, even they could sit and lie down on the drink crates talking and cursing. Once i saw the price tag was written some porn star actors' name and the movies they've acted, left entirely exposed on the crates which low enough to create attentions at the customers, and their awful feel on their faces shown directly after found out the fucking list and left without an utter. Generally, i was there die trying to push my brands to the customers, and none of them entertained after all the stupid impression made by the 5 morons.

Sometimes the 5 morons would've friends paid them visits and eventually made out a scene outside the supermarket: On the weekends, Pepsi's sampling promoter came and setup a counter, and these morons would drink all the samplings until more than 10 bottles of Excel. And therefore they could dig up the ice from the cooler and played around, slipping the ice back at the people's clothes. Guess what, they made a show at the crowds, everyone's looking at them as they don't feel embarrassed. Lots of bullshits they did and i'm not gonna further on these stupid morons' stories. By summary, i hate them. They don't need to serve customers, but they hit their sales target. I'm not. So is this telling me with discipline i can't get the real thing out of it? Or just i'm too serious at my job and i possibly earn nothing, which i should be like a moron like them? Non of it was my option, so just fuck it.

Last 8 days to Chinese New Year, an aunt called Ann came to setup a counter for sampling POP from Spritzer. She's quite successful at her sales as she had her effort more than me cuz i always left to refill stocks from inside to outside, i mean, i work alone, there're too many things for me to be responsible. Somehow she befriended me, and coincidently she lived just nearby my house, nearer to Seng's house. And almost every night i sent her home. I heard she was dumped by her husband, leaving her kids with her. Also she's the poorest among her relatives and family members, and she had the courages to build a strong base for her family, so far it didn't bring her down. She was quite happy being a friend to me, same to me, helping her is making me forgetting my worries, yet she had more worries than me.

Sometimes i don't like her attitude, she did talk about her daily activities, and found out she quite make use of other people. Like she knew i could drive her home after work, she wanted me to drive her to work too. That's fine with me, but i never did drive her to work but at night. There's a time she bought something from the supermarket and asked me to carry her stuffs all the way to my car alone while i'm having my breaktime drinking Teh Tarik. I could help her but it seems troublesome, it can be done after work but she forcefully make me do it. She had her hard time looking for me during my breaktime just for that sake. Also when there are times my girl came to look for me, she took LRT all the way reaching at Pandan Indah station punctually after my work time. I always urge Aunt Ann to pack her counter and leave instantly. Yet the would try to convince her customer to buy her POP drinks while it's after work time and still i can't believe she wouldn't put me as priority for sending her home every night. I'm not being selfish but all the time i told her that i need to leave in a hurry and she didn't give a shit at my time. I'm not saying i would hate her doing that, just to say she's just a typical aunt, wasting time babbling on nonsense but well respectful in certain point.

In the last week before Chinese New Year, i tried calling my superior Bernice, and can't get through. I'm so tense of my work payment and all they do is ask us to work, in return of the payment all they want us is to wait. How this community created in cruel way? What in the world people needed a part time job? To cover their expenses immediately soon as they received their payment after the job. My sampling guy Chee Sing, told me everything i should know. Sometimes before this Pepsi Project there were part timers finished their job and they only received their payments after 4-5 months, but now at least a month after they've calculated the punch card, pinball the punch card from this superior to other superior for signatures and verifications, then only they'll call the part timers to come to their office to collect payment. As easy for him to say: "That's how the system works in every company providing part time jobs." That, totally bullshit. I worked few part time jobs before and the latest payment i could get in advance a week i received. At first i thought i'll back out from this shit, but then, RM1400 for 15 days i've worked like an asshole, i'll be a butthole if i ever leave. So it'll be a lesson not to trust these marketing companies. And i've no doubt why there isn't any people who wanted these offers. They pay late, in desperation mode, no one fell for this.

But on other weekends, i knew a girl Chen Nie, woah she's a hot one, came with Richard, from a company called Synovate, doing researches and surveys on items consumed from buyers and their project for the festive was surveying beers and liquors customers. Actually Richard was with a Malay guy, then Chen Nie replaced him and they came in to work quite late in the evening as they're not supposed to. At first i didn't know Chen Nie, while she's attractive, i tried to approach her, and never knew she's a friendly one. She told me lots of things about her, and currently she's single... (yeah!) and not to be available... (what the...)

Weirdo huh? Chen Nie's family was not in stable stage, not even average. She's the only one who could support her family working 2 jobs per day, as a freelancer. In the morning, she works for Synovate, at night, she works for Zouk as Ambassador. So if i wanna go Zouk, i might have to call her for a table reservation and also get free drinks coupons from her, hehe... She's quite ok for a friend but having a crush on her was a pity, she doesn't accept any guys pursue her, only matters that she will accept a guy who willing to give her free money, all her mind was thinking about money, love is just a substitute in her life. I know how she feels, i'm glad she accepted me as a friend, most of the time i would've to purchase something from the supermarket to collect the receipts for her, so she could have it to submit the receipts to her superiors to verify her working hours as proofs. Sometimes she didn't came to work and eventually i helped her as she did work. Richard told me it was alright, cuz he said he knew her background, so he had to help her. Hey, i thing we've been screwed by this girl, haven't we? Beats me...

The last day of work made me more energetic to push more sales on my brand and the customers still go with 100 Plus and Coca-Cola... Fuck man, why these people are not convinced to buy Pepsi and Excel?

The reason why:

Customers on Coca-Cola:

"because Pepsi are more sweetened and more gassy than Coke."

"because everyone prefers Coke, that's the reason."

"i don't know, i'm helping my relative/friend to buy the goods."

"how would you mix liquors with Pepsi? Coke's the best, my man"

"Coke's red, so it's suitable for the festive!"

Customers on 100 Plus:

"it tastes better than Excel, so why i wanna buy that?"

"is that in new flavor? No, i prefer the previous taste, thanks a lot."

"it's sort of sour, less taste... 100 Plus is delicious"

"you know, after my child drank 100 Plus when he's on high fever, he was relieved! So... What Excel could do?"

"Vitamin C... Mm hmm... Smooth taste... Mm hmm... Did it gassy..? Ok... Well, can you help me get 2 crates of 100 Plus and 2 crates of Coke please..." (after all the explaination, none of my brands were bought...)

As far as i concern, F&N doesn't need a promoter. They did employ one, but the dyke went missing in action, as soon as i learned that she/he was terminated due absences. If i was given this opportunity and with sales incentives, i'm rich fuck... So by summary, fuck Pepsi!
