Nose expands for fresh air drives inside my body, refreshing my lung, hoping to calm myself down. But the function of question generator is continue working after this disruption.  Here comes a short woman with brown hair and rushes into the cashier. The cashier seems to feel the presence of the woman and he stands up quickly to response. Woman starts with a question of where’s the person wakes me up from the question generator and the cashier point at me with his finger. He leaves the shop with woman and me inside. Nervousness remaining my body starting to vibrate and the tension builds up as the woman getting closer to me. My instant guess on she is the interviewer is approved by her explanation of she is the boss of the shop, and her name is Gigi.


    ‘What working experience do you worked?’ Her question signaling me to track my working history.


    ‘I was working in the oriental shop in town half year ago….’  A man breaks in with a paper and ask, ‘Is this Good lucky?’ interrupted my introduction. Gigi rolls her back and answering man’s question with ‘yes’ and ‘We are Top Quality and we have delivery for you guys today.’ He answers with a paper on his hand. Thinking me as obstacle mentally and following Gigi’s footstep with curiosity on seeing delivery.


    Man is wearing a highlighted top and pulling pallet of boxes with plastic foil as protector up with electric pallet truck. Boxes are gathered as top as mountain. We both staring at man putting the pallet next to the entrance of the shop correctly. Some boxes refuses to change locations and starts shaking itself when man dragging the pallet up. Luckily the plastic wrapper around preventing boxes jumping down from top. Gigi then thanks the man and unwraps the plastic wrapper with her hand by walking around the pallet of boxes.


    She throws these wrappers into the bin and grabbing the box by hand. My body acts without any intention to grab the boxes into the shop with her. Following her path and placing the boxes around shop without creating obstacle for customer’s shopping experience. Learning the structure of the shop internally when keeping my pace up with Gigi.  Every rounds of transporting are expanding my map mentally. Although it is a simple actions and same entrances, different directions and destination in shop helping me to shape out the layout of the shop entirely.


    There are approximately six freezers surrounded by three shelves in middle of dividing crowd into separated lane. Above freezers are hanged shelves that have screws secured with few products displaying. Although spacious spaces of shelves fulfill with inadequate amount of products, all the products are located in a correct cateogise. Both sides of shelves are contains different extreme contrast categories such as one side would be instant noodles while another side would be seasoning products such as hot pot soup base.


    When moving the boxes inside, the name on boxes is showing this pallet of good is frozen goods. This explains why Gigi moving the boxes inside instantly without the help of cashier. She wants to started the  restocking of good as soon as possible. Speed up the restocking by placing boxes on the ground according to the goods inside freezer.


    The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    ‘It’s fine. We can do the rest. ‘Gigi breaks into the silence of busy transportation and speaks.


    My heart is demanding for job description while looking at the rest layer of goods on the pallet. Therefore, a question of ‘what this job does?’ to connect the unfinished conversation between me and her earlier on.


    This question brings her focus back from the transportation of boxes and standing next to the tilt. ‘Cashier and doing with delivery as well restocking the shelf.’ She answered. My finger rises up and point at the tile with a question on ‘receiving cash and card payment?’ My heart begins its quick sequence of pounding since there is a new area for me. She seems to understand my nervousness and re-calming me with quick positive answer of ‘yes. I will teach you.’


    ‘When can I started this job? Can I start as soon as possible? Am I qualify to this job?’  Throwing a series of questions when she is focusing on the conversation between me and her now. There is no sign on she is offering me a job in the previous conversation. There is detailed explanation about wages and holiday in the messenger yesterday which means everything is clear except whether she is accepting me as her employee.


    Although these questions seem to be in inappropriate in a formal interview, evidence such as simple questions about my working experience and her self-introduction is proofing this is informal verbal interview to know my background. No pressure on asking about when does this job starts since this seems to a casual talk rather than an informal interview.


    ‘It seems you will be a good worker, and you can start on next Monday. As I have mentioned in the massager, there is forty hours of paid internship. Once you passed this forty hour, wages will go up.’ She explains.


    ‘Can I worked as much as finishing these forty hours straightaway?’ My desire of money is forcing me to work as much as I could to get the normal paid.


    ‘How about that? I will see how the shift works and answer you back in the messenger.’ She replies.


    ‘Okay. I will see you next Monday. Are you sure you don’t need help on these boxes outside?’ My empathy on people started to rise up and attempting to provide as much as help to people.


    Gigi rejected with her head shakes in air. My heart is full of confidence and leaving her my back to her. Stepping out the shop and tension that is remaining in body is slowly disappear into the fresh air. Wind are coming to take away on final pressure about job interview and rejection from job with the air. Looking away and thinking of my next destination for today’s schedules. The male cashier comes into eye sight from another corner in this area of restaurants. My heart is calming from there is someone helping Gigi out while glancing the pallet of goods beside me.


    Intention of avoid getting in their way are pushing my body to move away from only entrance in this shop. Numerous locations are rising in my mind map mentally. McDonald, Sainsbury’s, Uni or War Memorial Park. As soon as the option of ‘home’ jumped on my mind map, my consciousness has pushed it down mentally by replying just coming up from accommodation, don’t just waste my time on job interview.  Therefore, the option of going back home has been eliminated temporarily.
