I imagine, that I must’ve been a fly in a past life, that’s probably why it’s, so hard, for me, to fight off the temptations from desserts this lifetime. After I retired, I’d started part-timing at a namely bakery café, and, because they have a policy that after eight in the evening, the items they’d produced are for sale at twenty-percent off, plus I had employee discount, I not only got to save up on the money, and I also got a great deal on the foods too.
Actually, working again at midlife is no easy task, especially that I wasn’t in the baking industries from before, and, after working there for a short while, every inch of my body started aching. Seeing how the younger ladies can laugh and hold conversations so leisurely by the cash registers, and, even as they worked at the skillets, they can make several orders at the same time, and, they’re not stressed out at all, and, I’d be in awe, at how easily the younger generations can adapt. Sometimes, the customers would all rush in, all at once, and the order slips came like the wind, and, each customer has different preferences: more onions on the burgers, no peas on the pizzas, an extra cream serving on the Americano………at which time, how I hoped I could have more arms, so I could handle everything, all at once.
Being an hourly worker, I’d wanted nothing else, my one and only motivation was, at around noon, when the store manager did inventories over the cakes, and, hollered out, “Ahhhh, this would expire by tomorrow, can you, Liu, help me out with it?”, naturally, I wouldn’t turn down the free foods, strawberry pies, original cheesecakes, brownies, and, napoleons too, they’re all, MY favorites, keep ‘em comin’ then! This, is the added perk, of working at a bakery!
And so, your primary motivation is NOT the money, you’re probably retired from your original job, with a pension, it’s for the sake of feeding to your love of sweets, and, this just shows, how you don’t have to stay at home after retirement, you can find something you can enjoy doing, like this woman did, she’s not only bringing in the extra incomes (which she probably doesn’t need???), and she also gets the added perks of taking home the desserts from the shop that’s not sold by the end of the day.
