New thing 2

I did part time job today for the first time. I have never worked before, so I was so nervous.
My work is cashier at a supermarket. My house stands near that and it takes me only two minutes to go to there. I can go back soon even if I work until late. So I wanted to work at that place by all means.

When I was adopted as a worker, I was so glad and felt easy. That was because I thought that I wouldn't be adopted. When I called the market to make an appointment of an interview, I was asked how often I could work and I answered that I could work on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Then, he said to me, "Huh? On weekdays, couldn't you work only Wednesday and Friday? Couldn't you work more?" I was worried to hear that and I felt that I wouldn't be able to work at this supermarket. But I was permitted to do interview for the time being. I waited the interview day wondering and feeling uneasy for one week. At last, the day came. It was rainy. I felt depressed because of the rain and nervous. I tend to feel nervous easily and, of course, I became tense on that day. The interviewer was friendly but overpowering. He asked me a lot of questions. I felt uneasy and upset when he spoke to me roughly. That was because I used to being treated gently by seniors at clubs and circles. So, I was worried. I said to myself, "This means going out into the world. This is the society of works and adults. Now, I can't depend on something. I have to throw away immature thoughts. I have to be independent from supports and to be a strong person." I was worried throughout the interview. But I could get something good and study a part of society, so I thought that I didn't care the result of this interview.

One week later, I received a call from the supermarket. They said that I was adopted and I started working on 4 June. I felt happy and worried at the same time. I have thought that I wouldn't be adopted, so I upset. In fact, I didn't want to work at the supermarket because I realized that they were strict to workers and I had to have enough skills. But fortunately, I became the worker, I decided to do my best. And I hoped that the works help me be an useful worker in the future.

And today, I worked for the first time. It was interesting as I thought, and also, the manager was strict as I thought. But, at the same time, I found that this market was worth working even if I didn't get any money. I felt that I will be able to get a lot of skills and improve my ability. When I enter employment, this work will help me. They will be useful.

There are a lot of things that workers have to remember and pay attention. A cashier is a worker of serving, so we have to think of customers seriously and carefully. The manager told me, "Customers are always watching us. They watches our behavior and attitudes closely. They want to be treated gently and equally. If they feel that they are treated roughly, they won't come to this supermarket. The most important thing is to get customers who come to this market many times. These people like our atmosphere and services and they always come to this market even if the prices of goods are higher than other markets. So, you should keep in mind that in serving business, the most important thing is that you treat customers with sincerity." I was impressed to hear that. In fact, I had no confidence to do this. But I came to want to try. Maybe, it will so hard to manage everything(study and club activities . . .). But I found that this work is worth working and will improve my skills. So I want to hold out and never give up!
