Princess Seraphina
CHAPTRE 16
Looking at the clock on his wrist, time still showed at 06:30 am. While the new minimarket will open at 07:15, Seraphina will walk around wearing her new clothes. On the way, he met the beautiful lady.
“Halo, good morning. You're Seraphina, right?” said Beautiful Mom while extending her hand.
Seraphina stopped and responded kindly, “Good morning too, Madam. Yes, I am Seraphina. Nice to meet you.”
“Wah.. called mistress again.. “ Bu Indah laughs softly, “ Don't need to be called 'Mrs', just call me Bu Indah. Really you guys it's exactly the same, no waitress, no host, everything is very friendly.”
“I'm sorry, before my waiter had told me that he had spoken to a neighbor named Bu Indah. But I've never met you, so sorry for the mispronunciation earlier.”
Bu Indah patted Seraphina's shoulder gently, “ Geez, you are very polite. Oh, aye. How should I call you? Seraphina's name sounds a bit long.”
“Beautiful Bu can call me Sera or Phina, everything can be.”
“Alright,” While nodding her head, “If you may know, with such neat clothes, Phina is on her way to where?“ said Mrs Beautiful.
Seraphina replied with a smile, “Today is my first day working. His workplace is in a minimarket near the Coffees cafe. Luckily the place is not too far from home, so transportation costs can be saved.”
Hearing the explanation, Bu Indah gave a farewell greeting and invited Seraphina to continue her journey to work. After saying goodbye, the two separated. Half an hour later, Seraphina arrived at the minimarket. The shop still looked quiet, yet there was a man who was cleaning up.
Carefully, Seraphina approached the man, “Excuse me,”
The man replied, “Iya, there is something I can ba... “ As the man turned his head turned out he was Aldi, the person he had previously collided with. “ Hah! Seraphina? What are you doing here? Is there anything I can help you with?”
Seraphina replied, “Yes, I applied for a job on the Almart website and was placed here.” He gave the necessary documents to Aldy.
Aldy received the document and examined it carefully. After everything was checked, he reached out his hand to shake hands, “Include once again, I am Aldi Pangestu Irawan, the manager at this store. I've seen all the files you've given me. Is this your first experience working in the store?”
“Yes, this is my first time working. Please help” replied.
Aldy invited into the minimarket, he gave a special employee shirt, “Kak Seraphina, this is clothing for all who work in this minimarket. Now you change your clothes first, after you've finished coming back here, I'll explain all your duties. The clothing room is in the back corner. “
Seraphina received the uniform and went to the staff room at the end of the shop. There, he found a bathroom, small chairs, a small table, and a place to change clothes. Seeing that there was no one, magic power was released to change his clothes instantly. In an instant, his clothes had changed without having to take them off. His previously worn white shirt was neatly folded and put in a bag. After the clothes had been changed, Seraphina returned to the store.
“I'm done, what's next?” ask Seraphina.
Aldy muttered in his mind, “Crazy! Very cute, usually girls change their clothes for long, but this is not 3 minutes.“ Then he refocused, he said, “Just as soon as you change clothes. Usually people need longer. But okay, now let's talk about how the call between the staff and the manager is here. You can call me Mr. Aldy or Mr. Manager. While I'll call you Phina, just relax. When outside of work, there is no need to use formal calls, as usual just call Aldi. This formal call is only to respect professionalism while working. Understand?”
Aldy gave a thumbs up to Seraphina, then he explained, “Alright, now I'll explain a little about your work. In accordance with the employment agreement, you serve as a Shopkeeper or shopkeeper. What assignment? in general, the task is only to keep the store, but in depth the task of the shopkeeper is not that simple. His duties include welcoming customers, providing services and information, checking stock, maintaining cleanliness and security, and receiving feedback from customers. However, there is one thing that is very important, namely patience. Facing customers is not always easy, each individual has a unique character. Some are friendly, some are assertive, and some are dissatisfied. When they give us feedback, we accept everything, but if they say something inappropriate or commit a criminal act, that incident is an exception. We are allowed to defend ourselves. Does everything sound clear?”
Seraphina nodded her head, “I understand it, Mr. Manager.”
Aldy invites Seraphina around the store while continuing to provide explanations, “Later, you will also be responsible for tidying up products that look messy, and if the stock is almost out, immediately replace it with new stock. Always check the expiration date of each product to keep it quality assured. There are times when your coworkers are busy serving customers, you need to provide the slightest assistance. This principle also applies the opposite. When new stock items arrive, all employees must help transport them to the warehouse. But, since you are female, you can choose the lighter one to transport. How, is there any question?”
“There, Mr. Manager. What about the cashier's job? “ ask Seraphina.
“Cashier tasks have been taken over by the robot. Previously, employees took turns serving payments, but now there is an automatic system. Are there any other questions?”
Seraphina replied, “Nothing, Mr. Manager.“
Meanwhile, several other employees had arrived and saw Seraphina being briefed. A female employee approached her, “Hai, you're a new employee, right?”
Seraphina turned her head rather nervously, “A. yes.”.
“I Dina, employee 6 months here. Salken yak“
“I Seraphina, new employee here. Greetings also know“
Dina impressed, “Wow, your name is really good. Where beautiful, friendly anyway. Very lucky, I got a female partner usually a mulu guy.”
Then, a male employee joined the conversation, “Loh Din, how come there's a cute girl, who is she?“
Dina replied in a high tone, “He's my partner, and don't call him, because his name is!“
Seraphina advanced to approach the male employee, “I Seraphina, the new employee here. Nice to meet you.”
“Include, I'm Riko. I worked here for 7 months. If you have questions about work, problems with customers, or even about romance, do not hesitate to ask me,” said Riko confidently.
Dinahut loudly, “Modus!“
Aldy noticed the work atmosphere and was happy to see Seraphina well received by her colleagues. He felt their meeting was like a miracle. In Aldy's heart, he felt a sense of happiness and awe at Seraphina's appearance. Every time he looked at her, Aldy's eyes were always on the beauty of her face. Suddenly, the customer entered the store. Aldy gave final instructions to all employees, “ Okay.. okay.. The talking session has been completed, it is time to work. Old employee, please help Seraphina so she doesn't have any trouble.”
