The convenience store was on the north side of the campus, between the library and the coffee shop. In terms of size, it was equivalent to a small supermarket.
The nine employees of the convenience store did not come to work on Sunday. Apparently, it was not only because of scheduling issues, but also because of internal conflicts.
In any case, the class leader was in charge of the convenience store today. Maybe everyone should call her 'store manager' instead.
The convenience store usually opens at 7: 30, but the class leader opened the store at 6 with the key given to her by Principal He Qimei. Then, she brought along our assistants to prepare for business.
"The store is really messy, I wanted to clean it up a long time ago!"
The class leader said as she walked towards the landline phone near the cashier counter and tried to straighten out the entangled microphone cables.
That's enough! Class leader, your OCD has reached its final stage! Even if the microphone cables are messy, it won't affect our business!
The assistants the class leader brought were: me, Xiao Qin, Xiong YaoYue, Gong CaiCai, Loud Mouth, and Zhuang Ni.
Other than Ai Mi, it was basically an island trip during the National Day holiday.
It wasn't the class leader's intention. She originally only wanted to bring Loud Mouth, me, and the Five Tiger Punishment Squad. Although Loud Mouth was a glutton, she was more reliable than Xiao Qin and Xiong YaoYue. The Five Tiger Punishment Squad would also definitely work better than Gong CaiCai and Zhuang Ni.
In the end, the Five Tiger Punishment Squad couldn't make it. When I heard I was going to the convenience store, Xiao Qin clamored to go. Her roommate, Xiong YaoYue, thought it would be fun, so she also tagged along.
Loud Mouth didn't keep her mouth shut as a gossipy person, so her roommate, Zhuang Ni, quickly found out about it. Zhuang Ni, who originally planned to take Gong CaiCai to a coffee shop, changed their 'date' location to the convenience store. The class leader couldn't do anything about it.
At this moment, Zhuang Ni and Gong CaiCai were sitting behind the service counter, drinking freshly brewed black tea from the same cup.
Zhuang Ni brought the tea set from her dorm. In order to save time, she only brought one cup. She shared it with Gong CaiCai, so they could kiss.
Speaking of the convenience store service counter, it was really a useless organization. The students had complained more than once that instead of having a service counter, it would be better to have a cashier, which would improve the efficiency of checkout. After all, the service counter was supposed to be responsible for returning goods and packaging goods, but in reality, it was only used to wrangle with the students and shirk responsibility. It was really hard to understand why this kind of responsibility could provide two jobs. Many people guessed that the convenience store employee working at the counter was the boss's relative.
It seemed that this internal conflict was related to the two people working at the convenience counter. However, it didn't have much to do with us. Putting Gong CaiCai in this position would help protect the fragile items in the convenience store.
While Zhuang Ni and Gong CaiCai were having a tea party at the service desk, the class leader directed the others to get busy.
"Ye Lin, put the heavy box on the bottom and the light box on the top."
"Winnie, I'll leave the goods to you. Be careful of the ladders!"
"Geng YuHong, stop staring at the chocolates. The principal said that everyone who comes to help today will get one extra credit for extracurricular activities and a 100 yuan shopping card. You can put whatever you like in the basket in advance and buy it after work."
"Xiao Qin, that's not how the price scanner works. It won't show how much I'm selling for even if you aim it at me! You haven't done any of the work I arranged for you, right? Can you please work harder! "
"Okay, okay." Xiao Qin lowered the scanner in a panic, "Then, what kind of snacks can I eat for free?"
Then she reached for a vacuum-packed honey cream cake.
"I'm telling you to work harder, not to eat snacks!"
The class leader flipped out. The class leader suffered a lot when she lived with Xiao Qin in the gardener's hut. Especially after seeing Xiao Qin's Little Tyrant form, the class leader's attitude towards Xiao Qin was almost the same as her attitude towards Xiong YaoYue.
Xiao Qin stuck out her tongue and went to check the price tags on the shelves. The class leader's attention was focused on the two loose boxes of chewing gum on the cashier counter.
"Huh? Not only are the two boxes of chewing gum different in quantity, but the blue and red packaging are also mixed together! The loading staff is too irresponsible! "
The OCD store manager then immersed herself in the task of distributing the chewing gum. When she finally split the blue and red packaging into two boxes, she realized there was one more blue than red.
The class leader held the extra blue chewing gum and put it in a plastic bag under the cashier counter.
"I'll buy this chewing gum, so the quantity will be the same!"
I smiled bitterly as I just finished moving the boxes nearby: "Class leader, you don't really eat chewing gum, right? I've never even seen you chew it. "
"It's fine, Xiao Zhe eats chewing gum." The class leader replied confidently, "I'll give it to him when I get back."
I thought: Xiao Zhe always eats high quality chewing gum, so he might not like these loose brands of chewing gum. But there's no point in saying it, it would only cause more trouble for the class leader.
Even though we were working in a convenience store, we were still in school, so everyone was wearing school uniforms. The class leader did distribute aprons to everyone, but other than me (I look like a butcher), none of the other girls wanted to wear it.
Only Xiao Qin held a smaller apron and gestured in front of her, "Since Ye Lin classmate is wearing an apron, then I should also wear one, otherwise it wouldn't be matching outfits! I once saw it in a manga that Ye Lin classmate likes. When the main character's childhood sweetheart helped him cook, she wouldn't be wearing anything other than an apron. Ye Lin classmate must be looking forward to seeing me naked in an apron in front of you … "
Hey! Don't peek at the H manga in my room! Even though nude aprons are great, I'm not crazy enough to let my sworn sister wear them! If you did that at home, Auntie Ren would beat me to death! (If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have taught Auntie Ren the complete version of Yin Yang Sanshou) Xiao Qin fiddled with the apron for a bit before putting it on over her clothes. Even though it was only a cyan blue apron with white edges, Xiao Qin looked like a cute shop assistant after wearing it.
Speaking of which, Xiao Qin and Gong CaiCai were the youngest among them. People would probably believe them if they said they were middle school students, but the class leader and Zhuang Ni were different. It was impossible to mistake them based on their height alone.
Xiao Qin, who was holding a scanner to check the prices, saw a type of Mai Xiang Village pastry (knockoff of Daoxiang Village), she placed her index finger on her lips and asked: "Ye Lin classmate, can I eat a piece after work? Will you not want me if I get fat? "
"It's fine." I patted her shoulder, "You're slim right now, so you can eat whatever you want, it's fine even if you get fat! But I remember these knockoffs don't taste that good … "
Loud Mouth suddenly raised her voice when she heard someone say the word 'fat' across the shelves: "Who? Who said I'm fat? "Xiao Qin and I looked at each other and smiled.
At the service desk, Gong CaiCai felt like she was letting everyone down by drinking tea and not doing any work. She wanted to ask the class leader to assign her work, but the class leader quickly signaled Zhuang Ni with her eyes to stall Gong CaiCai.
We can't let the porcelain destroyer get close! The convenience store has half a shelf full of porcelain cups and bowls. If Gong CaiCai came over to help, it would definitely cause a disaster!
Thus Zhuang Ni grabbed Gong CaiCai and said to her with a smile: "Don't look down on the service desk, we have to focus on dealing with annoying customers who want to return goods! We have to reject them one by one! "
"Then, then I should go," Gong CaiCai said timidly. "I'm not good at rejecting people, and I'm clumsy. What should I do if I make customers unhappy by helping them pack their goods here? What should I do?"
The corner of Zhuang Ni's mouth twitched unnaturally, she probably thought: You know you're clumsy, but you still want to help the class leader? The class leader will be even more worried if you help!
"CaiCai." Zhuang Ni grabbed Gong CaiCai's soft and white hand and interlocked their fingers, "My relative runs a hotel and has a lot of experience doing business. How about I teach you a secret? Do you know what's the most important thing for the service industry? "
Gong CaiCai blinked and thought for a bit, "Is … is it love?"
Zhuang Ni clicked her tongue, "You're completely wrong, the most important thing for the service industry is a fake smile!"
"Fake smile?" Gong CaiCai didn't understand.
"That's right, a fake smile!" Zhuang Ni emphasized, "Treating the customer as god is a lie to kids, you just have to treat the customer as an idiot in your heart."
"Wha, what?" Gong CaiCai didn't repeat the word idiot.
"Maintain a smile, then provide useless words to the customer. If the customer continues to make unreasonable requests, then push the blame to your superior. That's the secret to working at the service desk. As long as you follow this method, the customer won't react violently. If you don't believe me, I can try it out on Ye Lin. "
I was stopped by Zhuang Ni as soon as I arrived outside the service desk with the box.
"Trash, stop looking around, I'm calling you. Now act as the customer who wants to return the goods, I'm going to show CaiCai how to deal with it!"
Zhuang Ni's tone was full of contempt, but the corners of her mouth had a chilling fake smile.
I frowned: "Your fake smile is too obvious, even the White Bone Demon from Journey to the West has a better smile than you."
Thus Zhuang Ni pressed her index fingers on both sides of her mouth to help her lips form an arc.
"I can't help it because you're too annoying. I can't even fake a smile in front of you, so I'll leave it at that for now!"
Hey, you're asking for a beating! If I was a customer, I would have smashed the box on your head!
"Okay, Trash, now say what you want to return the goods!" Zhuang Ni prompted, "I'll teach CaiCai how to reject you."
When I saw Gong CaiCai's curious gaze, I cleared my throat and got into character. I even took off the apron that represented my identity as an employee.
"Waiter, this bag …" I randomly took out something from the box and upon closer inspection, it was soap, "This bag of soap isn't good, I want to return it!"
