Temp work and Ticket Resto

It's been a month since I worked at a local lux boutique and it was my last day on Sunday.  It's a replacement for someone who went on holiday for 3 weeks and I worked as a multilingual sales person.

The job involves liaise with customers, checking and sorting the delivery.  It's my first experience working as a sales but I must say it was a great opportunity for gaining skills like presentation and direct contact with customers.

The great thing about the lux boutique was that their collections are limited and as I personally love things like that, I managed to remember most of the collections by the end of 2day.  When you know what to explain to the clients, then you need to know HOW to explain so I'd copy how my colleagues are doing. If it was high street shops, the volume of the collections are so large, that I wouldn't have remembered.

Just a month working at the boutique, but I feel like I gained alot.
On top of that I've got Ticket Resto from them.  It's a voucher you can use at a restaurant.  Usually employers sibsidise some percentages and employee also contributes a small portion.  The amount per ticket is depending on the company you work for.  Mine is 8.50 euro.  When using it, it's best to buy / eat a bit more to the amount shown, as you don't get change back. 
There're no such system in England. When I worked in London, I used at the canteen most of time, you pay credits in your ID card to pay for drinks and food which are slightly cheaper than eating elsewhere.  Also there were times where I took my lunch box with me. Even when I worked at Sophia two years ago, the agency didn't provide this system. 
Well, to celebrate my first ticket resto, I invited my hubby to go to Wazakura for sushi!
