Finally, I have to leave Kealy's, it seems that I don't haven't loving, and I don't seem to have too much feelings for a full 22-month-old bar, but I know there are too many stories.
In June 2003, it was the first summer vacation in Dublin, Ireland. At that time, there were less than 2,000 euros left in the bank, and we must start to keep our own life. I just came to this less than a year, and there is no more friends, and these don't work. Although I also played some calls, let friends pay attention to work, but I don't think much about myself. I am probably asking the margin, I asked in the store, walking into the store, handing on the resume, ask if I don't recruit people; at the same time, I need to do a tax card before work, just I got the tax card. 2 days, I found a cleaner work, in Kealy's.
There is another two Chinese people with me, a man, now I have forgotten his name, in short, it is a very disgusting person, it is not until 2 months, it is fired. Another girl, called Wang Xia, Shenyang people, we have always been very good until she leaves, and now there is even.
The work of this cleaner is very simple, starting from 8:30 in the morning, cleaning the bar outside, lasting for 3 hours. 7.5 euros an hour, there is double salary in Sunday. It is such a simple job. I have been doing a summer vacation, almost 4 months, but I know that I will do it, I will definitely don't do it, so I will ask the boss of this store. Is there any possibility? The work in the evening is the so-called waiter. Good things, but no matter what, finally transferred from the day. I still remember the scene of the work on the first night, and the name of the wine can't be called. Sincerely, I don't know how it is good. But in any case, this is also a simple physical activity. It can be fully adapted for 1 month. From then on, I started 3 nights a week.
Talking about the Irish bar, there is a lot of words. Incident, the people here are so too drink! Drinking is a culture here, so the bar is everywhere. Especially the city center, it's really 10 steps. I want to be in China, the most direct understanding of Ireland, "Ireland Coffee", in fact, the name is coffee, the name is coffee to wine, add cream and chocolate powder. So drink this coffee is drunk.
Chinese people have a culture of eating, we are happy, there is a festive thing, just get to eat. Then the Irish people, they will say, go to drink. And they are mostly drinking beer, and they are dry, don't eat. When I was young, I saw foreign movies, I saw a whiskey to drink, I feel very interesting, I have seen it abroad, it is true. But more surprisingly, they can drink at night in the morning, or drink at night, especially weekend, that is not drinking, don't drink drunk, staff reminded people, otherwise Just don't go. But I have to mention it, the air of the bar is very clean, I mean, from April last year, guests are not allowed to smoke in the bar. This is better than the domestic bar, I really don't know how good. And the law stipulates that all public applications with eaves can not smoke.
The bar of my work is still good, I also have a lot of friends. Working with me, the Chinese saying is the bartender, it is very good, work hard. But this is a small group, so many people, there will be a lot of unpleasant things, so in my more peace, it is too lazy to take care of those people, so it is basically a safe. Doing a waiter at the bar, then I have to mention a small fee. I think I am the most tens of tens of tens of service for the end. Because diligence, don't stop walking, more people don't have the opportunity to make money. I can still remember this experience several times. The most full of red is Christmas, I have experienced 2 Christmas, the first time is the most worth mentioning. At that time, I did 10 hours in four days, and I almost earned 50 euros a day. One night, I got off work in advance, the second day, the manager also puts the guests later, giving me a small fee, which is quite touched. At that time, those days, every night in the pockets were all coins, heavy, and I was happy.
There is another time to mention it, because that is the highest for me to earn less efficiency. At that time, the guest couldn't drink wine, and the wine was about 30 euros. I sent the wine in the past, and people reached over and gave 10 euros of tip. I was really happy at the time. This is the only one in the 19-month waiter work, so it is still impressed.
Of course, I have said that I have encountered countless disgusting, and the small gas is incomparable. Serving them many times in one night, there are a lot of wine, and I don't give it a penny. Actually, some people don't want to give tip, they buy wine themselves, it is also. The most annoying thing is to keep the wine, not for tipping, it is really angry. But there is no way, you have a salary this work, it is impossible to do it because people don't give you tips. So I didn't have a way, I had to recognize it.
I have made a lot of tips, but I went to my pockets, I didn't have a few sons. Because the place where I stayed too far away, I have to take a taxi home after I get off work, so most of my tip is filial to the taxi driver, it is inevitable It is a sad thing.
In general, although this is a part-time job, for me, it is a big step in life. Because I have never worked. Looking at those colleagues, many are much smaller than me, 15, 16 years old, is clear or a child, start making money, can't help me feel deep. They are not necessarily not good in each family, they need them to earn money for households. But the independent spirit of foreigners is really worth learning and admire!
