편의점 알바가 얼마나 힘드냐면

Can you guess how hard being a clerk at convenience store is?

내가 편의점 아르바이트 면접을 봤을 때가 기억이 난다. 편의점장은 엄청 진중하고 심각한 표정으로 얼마나 할 수 있는지 부터 물었다. 나는 최소 6개월은 가능하다고 하니까. 못 나오는 날이 있으면 반드시 미리 이야기를 해야 한다고 했고 지금 당장은 일을 못할 수 있지만 친절하고 성실해야 한다고 반복해서 말했다. 나는 처음에 왜 이렇게 흥분된 상태로 말을 하나 했더니 이전 근무자가 일을 하다 말고 도망갔다고 한다.

I do remember when I had an interview for the position of part-time job at CVS. The owner was very serious and asked me like "How long can you consistently work from this time?" So I was like "I will do and can do 6 months at least." And she said "You should tell me a week ahead if you can't work on a certain day." I thought myself "What is going on. She doesn't even ask me if I am good at it or if I have early-experience or something." And she repeat again and again "You don't need to be good at it this time but you must be nice to customers and diligent. I said "Yes. Of course." I didn't know why she was so upset at the first time and there was the story behind. My previous part-time man didn't appear on the day he was supposed to work and he disappeared without any communication. That was why she was so upset when she interviewed me.

정말 할 일이 많았다. 영수증만 봐도 뭐가 많이 적혀 있는 것들을 확인할 수 있는데 그냥 힘들었다.

There were so many tasks that I was in charge of. You may check how this work was tough by seeing the receipts in the pictures. It was just tough.

여기서부터는 예약된 상품들 목록이다. 가끔은 과로가 진지하게 걱정된 적도 있다. 편의점이 맞는지 의심됐었다. 누가 편의점에서 이렇게 많은 물건을 산다는 말인가. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The receipt right above was the list of reserved products. I could not understand the people who buy this much products at CVS. I mean CVS does not sell products at cheap price and does not even discount. I was like just "Gosh. Maybe rich people or dumb".

Part time job was like almost always tough. I have put aside reserved products as soon as I arrived at work. And there were at least 200 customers during my work-time. I would say it was like hell. I don't want to go back. 편의점 저녁 근무는 항상 힘들었다. 예약된 상품은 항상 진열대에서 빼내야 했고, 최소한 200명 고객이 왔다. 다시는 하고 싶지 않은 기억이다. 하지만 언젠가 돈이 필요하다면 해야겠지만 알바는 이제 그만 하고 싶다. 편의점 알바생 여러분들 힘들어도 항상 친절하게 일하시길 바랍니다. 다들 힘든 세상 먼저 웃음을 주면 웃음이 되돌아 옵니다!
