Лучшая работа в Австралии (часть первая)
Австралия - это прекрасная страна, в которой много красивых ландшафтов и интересных достопримечательностей. Если вы приехали в эту страну, то можете трудоустроиться по одной из востребованных специальностей.
Бариста.
На каждой оживленной улице в большом городе в Австралии можно найти кафе. Можно устроиться в Перте, можно устроиться в Мельбурне. Но австралийцы относятся к процессу приготовления кофе очень серьезно, поэтому в большинстве кафе перед трудоустройством от вас потребуют окончить курсы для бариста. Длительность курсов варьируется от трех часов до пяти дней. То есть, если вы будете знать хотя бы основы приготовления эспрессо и американо, это значительно повысит ваши шансы получить работу.
Бармен.
Напитки в Австралии в большом почете, поэтому вакансии барменов есть всегда. У такой работы масса преимуществ: вы можете прилично зарабатывать, знакомиться с местным населением, получить приличные скидки при закупке продуктов, и иметь много свободного времени днем. Но если вы планируете работать барменом в заведении, где подают спиртные напитки, то вам нужно будет обязательно пройти тренинг по ответственности по обращению с алкоголем (RSA).
Официант
В Австралии большое количество учреждений, которые нуждаются в большом количестве обслуживающего персонала. Для такой работы вам не потребуется опыт, и также можно найти подходящий график работы. Но если есть опыт работы, то можно рассчитывать на поиск вакансии в заведениях, которые платят больше. Но, как и в случае с барменом, вам нужен будет RSA сертификат в том случае, если ресторан подает алкоголь.
Палубный матрос
В Австралии много судов, которые возят людей по местным достопримечательностям. Поэтому есть шанс устроиться на судно. Вашим офисом в этом случае будет открытый океан. Новые вакансии можно поискать на яхте или на катамаране в наиболее популярных для яхтинга территориях.

Why are hospitality-related jobs so.. anti-ADHD? Like barista for example, sure, making coffee is fun but the environment forces you to squeeze information as possible; preventing yourself from forgetting them otherwise both the job and the customers be damned. I had shared once how my brain is processed is when new info slides in; the rest are kicked out. Tasks that were once "organised" in my mind are scattered like casino chips. My manager had to warn me these behaviours are inapplicable to other jobs because each action is sacred and I won't be accepted if I keep this up.
It hurts my heart because I can't change whatever I have. I can't stop thinking about the advise my manager gave me. I can't just admit I am neurodivergent or is suspecting so because shit! I'm a barista, I work in a cafe-slash restaurant whose customers are mostly seniors! There's no time for slow-mo and I had to act fast. I also need the money and the experience.
Help!!!

Ummm... Correct me if I'm wrong ^v^;;
The Cake Shop
One of the baristas at a nearby Starbucks makes me lose my mind every time I’m working there by saying things that are not outside the spectrum of normal human words but are just slightly off-the-wall.
Barista: Welcome to Starbucks, home of delicious, what deliciousness can I put in motion for you today?
Customer: … Can I get a trenta pink drink please?
Barista: Go big or go home, we here at Starbucks appreciate your commitment, what else can I get started for you?
***
Customer: Nitro cold brew with shots of espresso please.
Barista: Brave of you to commit to staying awake for three days, anything else today?
***
Barista: *slams open drive-thru window* HI HOW ARE YOU?
Customer: …I’m pretty good.
Barista: Are you ready to be even better? Because you’re about to be. *hands them their coffee*
***
Barista, realizing that a drink was made wrong: *slams open window* SO how do you feel about surprises?
Customer: ….they’re okay.
Barista: Great because I’m about to give you one.
***
Barista: You have two drinks so I am going to hand you two straws which means, FANTASTIC news, these straws double as drumsticks. / You have one drink so I am going to hand you one straw and, promise not to tell anyone, this straw doubles as a magic wand.
***
Barista: Here are those cake pops, I plucked them fresh from the tree myself.
***
Barista: *slams open window, holding drink* Amazing, fantastic, delicious, you are a very lucky man/woman!
***
Barista, realizing drink is being delayed or remade: Looks like it’s gonna be just one minute so they have time to put the extra love in.
***
Barista: I’ll be with you in one hot second. *beat* WOW that second sure was hot!
Anyway she has a few dozen catchphrases she rotates appropriately and it’s both distracting and fantastic to listen.
I feel like I'm beating a dead horse here, but MY GOD I don't think people realize how stupid other people are unless you've worked retail. Or, not even stupid, but they just believe the rules don't apply to them.
I'll give an example.
I work in a coffee kiosk inside of a grocery store which has two main entrances/exits and a third through our liquor department. Management decided that on weekends, the entrance (technically) in the middle would close/lock at 8pm, even though the store doesn't close until 11pm. This is kind of stupid to me, but I also see how empty the store is around 8, so eh, not my problem. The kiosk also happens to close at 8, and also also happens to be situated right next to the now-locked entrance/exit.
Between the kiosk and the registers there is open tile, though not really a lot width-wise. Management, in all their wisdom, locks the door at 8 sharp, and puts a dandy little sign in the middle of this walkway. I'm kidding about the little part - this sign is about two and a half times bigger than your common Wet Floor sign.
Notice earlier how I said the sign is in the middle of the walkway? That means that people have to ACTIVELY walk around it in order to continue on the the doors. Barrier 1, ignored. Now they are at the automatic doors, which are not opening. Because they are locked. This is when they really notice something is wrong. Barrier 2, noticed but ignored. Instead of looking at the paper, eye-height sign on the door that says THESE DOORS ARE LOCKED, they instead push on the automatic doors like that's a normal way to open them. Barrier 3, ignored.
My coworker and I are finishing up closing around this time, and we get to watch the fireworks. We could be kind, and stop these poor souls from getting too far in their fruitless journey, but after so many back-and-forths of
"Sir you can't go out that way, those doors are locked."
"Wh-But that's the way I came in!"
"I know sir, but now they're locked."
"Well that's stupid!"
"I know sir."
a barista gets tired. Eventually, either they get frustrated and walk away from the locked doors, or they turn to us and ask why they aren't opening.
This sometimes leads to my favorite exchange:
"Those doors lock at 8pm."
"Well they should put a sign up about that!"
"They did ma'am. You walked right past it."
Sometimes there will be a modicum of shame, but most of the time they just walk off. But the best part will always be when someone else watches this exchange go down, walks right up to the doors, and expects them to open anyway.
Humans are truly a wonder.
