Got bonus at work last night :)

As if!

Work was swell last night, apart from a couple of the late night don't-talk-sense customers who somewhat hampered our happy spirits when we left.

Earlier in the evening we had a brief training on Bloom Cosmetics, and we all got freebies of a Lip Plump and a Full & Flirty Mascara each. Yeay!! Both products cost AUD$53.00 retail. I am not so sure about using the Lip Plump. I am happy the way my lips look, any plumper it will be bee-stung. And unless I have a 10% look of Angelina Jolie (not that I personally like her, but love her looks!) I don't need that kind of lips.

I was about to buy a new mascara though. So this was perfect timing!

Later at night, when I was entering some invoices, I needed to check on a certain product. I went round the corner, and guess what I found on the floor?

Jeng jeng jeng!!!!!

WAHLAU!!! I 'thun gai', I gabrah, eyes wide wide liao! There were a few customers in the store minding their own business. Then there was this guy walking towards the dispensary bench, where I was at, and I thought to myself 'Walk away! Walk away! Go far far!!'

No one was near the area, so I picked it up quick quick lor. Brought it back to the dispensary.

Here my dilemma started.

Should I pocket the money myself? Or hand it in to the pharmacist? I knew I couldn't do one thing though, that is asking around who dropped $50? Silly isn't it? And the first time I found $10 months ago, I handed in the money like a good girl should. Of course lar, no one came to claim, and where did the money go? Gone with the wind.... boss put it into the till with the rest of his profits. You'd think he will play finder's keepers, or at least use the money to get some treats for our shift. So this time I was quite reluctant leh.

When the store was quiet again, I told the pharmacist. (Saint was saying I did the right thing, Devil said STUPIAK STUPIAK STUPIAK!) She initially said to hand the money to the boss, but when other colleagues said what I had told you, we all agreed to zip our mouths and share the money if no one came in to claim (hahaha! Funny!) it at the end of the night.

So, I got another $12.50 bonus lor.... well at least if boss finds out, I am not the only one in trouble.

MMUUAAAHHAHAHAHAAA!!

I drop $50. Must be very strong winds. So strong it blow off all the US green. wakakakaka

Next time don't say anything. Then you get the full $50. Most people that lose money are too embarassed to go look for it again.

Oh well. At least you can sleep good now. ;)

aiks your boss so terrible! should use the money for tea break if no one claim wat!

when i was cashiering at MPH during my college days, we'd put all "newfound" wealth into a jar... for topping up whenever anyone of us got "short" of the correct amount at the end of the day hehe
