Work and Travel 2015 [8]

Every beginning is always HARD! So let’s see more about how my work goes after a few weeks. First thing about my schedules….

There are 3 shifts;  
Morning shift: Gotta wake up sooo early and always sooo busy but got free time after work.
Mid-shift: The shift that we cannot go anywhere (i hate it. Hahaha)
Evening shift: Not busy, working soo chill but the weather in the evening over there is really nice so i’d rather be somewhere else than work.

You know…this is one thing i like about the job… Even if you worked, you still get to live your life the way you want. So I asked the manager to put me in the morning shift so i have free time to explore Maui and she understood. I know i’m picky but if it was you, i think you would do the same, would you ? haha… Life at work get easier in everyday cuz i’m getting used to it, faster and better..not messed it up a lots like the first few days (its been very hard for me though)

These are some view i’ve seen in every morning while i’m walking to work at McDonald’s….

YES!, it really is wonderful and peaceful even though the weather is SUPER HOT during the day…like the Sun is your hat LOL. Some day has a lot of clouds, some day has clear blue sky…but both of them are beautiful in the different ways. Oh and one more thing that impressed me a lot is people over there…they are always say “Hi / Hello” and smile ..when we walked across, even if we didn’t know each other at all…i really like that culture…

When i woke up very early in the morning..i get to see the beautiful SUNRISE.

My delicious meals at McDonald’s when i’ve worked.

These are almost everything about my works…so next time its gonna be about how i’ve explored Maui….little by little…

After i’ve work for a few days, im starting to get used to it. My major role is “Drive-thru presenter” (I don’t know why but its cool for me). I’ve met so many kinds of customers both very very nice customers and not. However, you know what I like being the presenter….because the expression when the customers got their foods, they look so happy… (in case that they didn’t wait forever in the drive-thru line LOL). I saw regular customers that come every morning and im starting to remember some of their orders hahah so weird but they are so nice to me…

After im done work, i gotta walk home (10 mins walk). Well, its okay to walk only 10 minutes you know but here’s the problems: my house is on the MOUNTAIN (so my legs are super tired can you imagine..standing for 8 hours from work and walk up to the mountain); the weather during the day is SUPER HOT (its like the Sun is on top of your head just like that! and i’m melting). Some day i finished earlier so….im going somewhere to explore the island..

Maui Mall in Kahului.

Maui Mall is very small compare to the mall in Thailand but its more peaceful, less people…not crowded. i love it! I was looking around and saw the restaurants, clothes stores, and etc…I’ve spent the rest of my day here until it was late so I went back home……….still I don’t wanna go sleep yet so, i took out my camera (oh everywhere i go, my camera go too!) I’m walking around….then stop and sit on the walk way beside the road..and took photos…it was so peaceful and beautiful like i cannot explain it, if you can see this view with your own eyes, you will see how beautiful of this world is….How i wish i can capture the photo just like my eyes see it…..

I’ve started working at McDonald’s. The first day they took me to be a presenter for the drive-thru. My job is to cover up the soda drinks from the automated-machine (which keep filling up like crazy cuz the customers keep ordering haha), making drinks (eg, ice coffee, hot coffee, smoothies..etc), check the order and give to the customers through the windows drive-thru as their standard. Woah….my first day of working was HELL! I messed it up a lot!!! but my co-worker,  they are so nice and help teaching me step-by-step…. I was so relief with them by my side helping me to correct the order, make the drinks. You know what! It might look easy but im gonna tell you “IT IS NOT”. I gave wrong orders to the customers when sometimes we are in a rush hours (i felt so bad with that but i don’t know how to fix it or make it up to the customers), i did too slow…..the drive-thru line are too long..the customers are waiting forever Oh my gosh! so many things to manage. Everything that everyone does always effect others so you gotta be careful what you do. But hey thats the experience i craved for. I worked for 8 hours per day (35 mins break). I was so tired and felt bad when i did wrong..but deep down, I enjoyed with what i do…the time passed so fast without me knowing that it already passed 8 hours… hahaha.

At first, i got McDonald job I thought, oh Hell no! im not gonna work at McDonald..but i want to go to Hawaii so I think im just gonna try…..and you know what…its not as bad as i thought… to be honest, it was FUN…who knows work can be fun…(probably stressed sometimes though but thats normal when you work right ?) After im done with my first day, i promise to myself im gonna try harder to learn and make it better…cuz i don’t ever want to give the wrong orders to the customers, trust me it felt worst than you thought….(Poor thing those customers…I’M SO SORRY)

McDonald’s Kehalani, Maui, Hawaii.

Work and Travel 2015 [2]

After the owner of the McDonald’s store took me to her friend’s house in Wailuku, she also took me to finish all the document for working at her store. Thats the first time i saw the Kehalani McDonald’s store…it was so cool..look brand new and modern not what i’ve imagined before LOL. She also treated me and my friends McDonald’s meal..I don’t know what to eat so I ordered “Cheese burger meal” since I like beef and i heard that beef over here is so good…we ate like crazy cuz we were so hungry at the time..Thanks to her for this free delicious meal.

My first free McDonald’s meal in Maui.

After that, she also took me to buy a new SimCard and mobile package which cost 40$ per month but I have unlimited of everything. Thanks to her..again. Oh one more thing, she took me at Walmart to buy ‘non-slippery shoes’ for working and she even bought me a small pillow and small blanket! I don’t know how to thanks her enough. However, I’m so exhausted and jet lag from the long flight at that time but still..I’m too excited to just go sleep and rest….

I arrived a few days before i have to go work so, in the next day i’m taking my free time to look around my house, took photos and enjoyed with the weather and everything.. I rode the bicycle but its like i have to ride up into the mountains which my legs were so tired..so i stopped and sat on the grass.. enjoyed the amazing nature around me…Well, actually I cannot go too far anyway cuz I don’t have a car and I have no idea how to take a bus…hahaaa so poor thing me…but hey its really worth it..better than stay in the house anyway.
