While waiting for her result, Nadia, my beloved daughter, decided to look for a job, joining her friends. I rejected one that offered to her, although I shouldn't have. Then she found another job at Kenny Roger's restaurant getting salary equivalent to our maid's. Ha..ha..ha..
But that's ok, I guess. All she needs is the experience. She would value money better, this way.
She got to wear a uniform, which cost me half of her pay (the burden goes to the mother).
We stopped by the restaurant on Tuesday, her first day of work. My little girl. I saw her serving food to the customers and taking orders. It was a mix-feeling for me. Sad to see her on the job and the same time happy for her getting the experience climbing up the ladder of adulthood. I never had that experience myself. I'm proud of her.
At home, I advised her to stay calm even if she get a scolding form her customer. Smile and say sorry, then compensate with better service. That's life my girl....Customer is always right. Yeeeaah...right.
