Priya - Coconut Shake Assistant
I just started working here in the recent 6 months actually, but I have to say i’m really enjoying working here. Coconut shakes are becoming really popular nowadays so I literally serve tons of customers everyday and I think that helps keep me motivated and interested at work. I have worked at many places and frankly speaking sometimes when you are too free you actually don’t enjoy that at all, you get very bored and lethargic and unmotivated, and when your boss sees you they will think you are simply lazing around, which is quite unfair.
My toughest part of my job is to cut open the coconuts and to prepare them in the blend, but this can be really tough because we have really heavy and large coconuts that I have a lot of trouble handling, and sometimes I even need to take a break before I can continue. We have around 100 coconuts we have to prepare everyday, and honestly that is the part I don’t look forward to.
My main job requirement is really to prepare and serve the coconut shakes, we first blend the coconut juice and flesh together, wait for a little while before we add in the milk and slight amounts of sugar, depending on the requests of our customers. Then I throw in ice cubes finally to make it frothy and pretty for customers, as per our customers requests we will also add in different types of toppings like the chocolate bits or coconut shavings. I personally think the coconut shavings are the best match with the shake itself.
Honestly I really think I can stay in this job for a long time because I genuinely find it fulfilling and fun, plus, I get free shakes everyday and I am truly in love with the shakes! My hours are not that long either, I work from 10am to 10pm with 2 hour long breaks in between. Some days I feel so full and good with the coconut shakes that I just skip my meals..
