* day 19 . 201207 [A] .from the moment i started work , there was to be no turning back .just half an hour into my shift , i encountered a young lady (she was with her family , i think) who told me about a batch of products that have gone past their expiry date , 151207 .the look within her eyes was very intimidating then , and so was her tone .scary .at least she could have told me in a more polite manner , but perhaps she was in a really foul mood that day and decided to vent all her unhappiness on me instead .the flow of customers never stopped throughout my shift , and there was even a queue of about four to five people forming from the wrapping station !----------------------------------------------------------------------* day 20 . 211207 [M] .had to help out with moving excess products down to the concourse area throughout the entire morning .in addition , i also went over to the Watsons outlet at Lorong Ah Soo to collect two bags full of Ferrero Rochers .on the taxi ride back to Hougang Mall , the cabbie , still a freshman as today was only the second day into his job , talked non-stop about why the recent cab fare hikes are not justified .i remembered him saying things like "we should be looking after the poor's interests ... government officials (he mentioned names but I shan't reveal .. who knows if they would sue me for defamation in the future ?) already earn so much annually and with this hike they'd only stand to earn even more ... don't they know about the widening income gap one bit ?"from the manner he voiced out his displeasure , i could tell he's a staunch opposition supporter .it's really a waste that he didn't choose the path of a debator and became a cabbie instead .worked overtime today till 8pm due to some problems with till checks .
