When Jay ran into the Sinar Mas Building, it was ten o'clock. Today was his first day of work, he was one hour late from the allotted time.
Take the elevator to the 19th floor, just entered the building Adi Mulia Hotel, already saw a beautiful figure running here. Jay knew him, it was Cindy the beautiful woman in charge of recruiting him on the Job Exchange.
“Jay, why are you here? It's an hour late, I don't think you'll come again. Come with me, training has begun.” Cindy spoke while carrying Jay through one corridor at a time.
“Sorry, Sister Cindy. Today is very jammed, it will not be like that again. The training? Is it necessary to do training?” Jay smiled at Cindy. It was unexpected that the beautiful woman who recruited him back then still remembered him.
“Yes, can't happen again. The manager has a bad impression on you because it is late on the first day of work, it will be difficult to change that impression. Of course it is necessary to conduct training, otherwise how do you understand that basic etiquette? Do you think being a waitress is so easy?”
As they spoke, already in front of the meeting room, Cindy pointed inside and said to Jay, “You go inside, then said that you are a new employee. I've been waiting for you for a long time, so I said goodbye because I still have to continue my work.” he waved at Jay, then left in a hurry.
Jay stood in front to hear for a moment, could only hear the person inside talking, but had no idea what was being talked about.
Slowly pushing the door, the large meeting room was filled with many people. Everyone saw him when they saw someone coming in. The one standing on the stage was a girl wearing a white work shirt, hand held a pen, it seemed that she was the teacher of the coach. Jay smiled apologetically at the girl on the stage, then walked over to the chair in the corner.
“Stop.” the girl on the stage said.
“Em—!” Jay had already walked to the side of the chair, after being yelled at by the teacher, he became confused about having to stand or sit down.
“Who are you?”
“I am Jay Wijaya.”
“I asked what are you doing?”
“I came to take training.”
“Are you a new employee?”
“You are really smart, you can guess everything.” Jay's joking. So that the people in the meeting room laughed because of his words.
The coach teacher's face immediately flushed red, then glared at Jay angrily, “Do you feel you are so funny?”
“Laughing voice everyone has answered your question.” Jay answered by opening his hands.
Coach teacher breathed in her several times to hold back her emotions, “You're one hour and three minutes late, give me a reason.”
“Macet.”
“This reason is too common.”
“Automaly pain.”
“I see the look on your face very well, not like a person who has a stomachache. This reason is clearly a false excuse, I do not accept. I told you that I let employees late, but I didn't let employees cheat me. I'm giving you one last chance.”
The coach teacher's eye brows trembled a few times, then took a breath and said with a smile, “Get Out!”
“What does that mean? My English isn't good, otherwise I wouldn't have come here to be a waiter.” Jay asked confusedly.
“Come out, you have been fired!” The coach teacher's voice became loud, talking to an idiot would definitely get angry.
“Oh, I understand, I speak very well Indonesian, why do you have to speak English. Really troublesome, why did you fire me? You're just a coach teacher, just like me, we're all just employees.”
“What if the president director of this company is my father? Do I have rights?”
Jay was surprised for a moment, then laughed, “Iya, good. I decided to continue working for this company. I really admire your work attitude and professionalism, Miss, I will introduce myself officially, my name is Jay Wijaya, my last name is Wijaya, my nickname is Jay, I am a new employee in your company. I actually arrived under the company at exactly nine, but I was intentionally too late for so long to do the testing, testing your patience skills. You know, we who work as servants, will meet with various kinds of employees when working, so every coworker must be able to adapt to the change, which was just a test.”
“I've decided you won't work in this company.”
“Nona, you make me very disappointed. Your calm response and your open thinking made me give you a score of 99, now your revengeful attitude has your image broken in my heart, now there is only 59.”
“I don't care though it falls to zero.”
“I care, I can't see a beautiful woman being a woman who likes to object. All right, I'm telling you why I'm late. I live in a single-parent family, my father has passed away, I live with my mother. My family was poor, so unable to study, only able to work during the day, and then took the night to read books. Last night I was very enthusiastic about thinking about working at the Adi Mulia Hotel, so I borrowed a book on waiter etiquette in the hotel, wanting to learn the knowledge in this field first, at that time I did not know that I had to do training before work. It was unexpected that I read the book until late at night, at three in the morning just went to bed, so this morning was late waking up, also deliberately saying some reason to lie to you, so I apologize to you. I really need this job, I hope you give me a chance.” Jay expressed his sorrow, then respect for the coach teacher.
“Did you really see the valet etiquette last night?”
“If you don't believe, you can test me.”
“Good. How many kinds of respect are there in five-star hotels and how to use them?”
“15 degrees, 45 degrees, 90 degrees. 15 degrees are used for guests who are 2 meters away. 45 degrees are used for guests who are 1.5 meters to 2 meters away. 90 Degree honors are used for guests spaced 75 centimeters to 1 meter.”
Coach teacher nods his head, “What is the standard posture for delivering food?”
Jay does a standard posture.
“Em, good. I'm giving you another chance. Later you have to be serious at work hours, do not repeat the same thing.” Teacher pats Jay on the shoulder.
“Iya. Later I will only work, will not speak.”
“No need, if not talk then will be a fool.”
“But, if I talk, you'll be angry.”
“It's okay, just say what you want to say, I'm not so fierce.”
“Then, I can really say yes?”
“Say, a man don't talk much.”
“Zip on the back of your skirt open.”
