Beer workers got paid commission rather than fixed salary

Beer promotion girlsWho are working as beer promotion workers? While you go to Beer garden or Restaurant, you always see someone who is working for serving beer as girls, not boys. Those girls are working for different brewery companies. While you enter into the Beergarden, those beer promotion girls would follow you since walking from entry gate and then standing surround you and ask you “Please, drink my beer” or “Today, I cannot sell some bottle of beers or cans”. Those girls ask repeatedly until the kind of beer you choose.

Sometimes, it is hard to make decision. That is the kind of job for beer promotion girls, if they did not do that they will not sell bottles of beers or cans. Finally, they would not get paid in commission. Most of beer workers got commission; it is up to the number of sold beers. If they sold more, they would get more commission. They do not get monthly fixed salary.

Pov dressed in black T-shirt and long black-long pants is selling beer at Happy Night Beergarden said that “she has worked as beer worker more than 7 months in this restaurant.” She added that “I got commission to sell the number of bottles, if more bottles are bought, more money I get paid by company.”

She added that she did not need to get fixed salary because it is low paid-salary. And then she chose the second option by getting commission to sell bottles of beer because she can make more money in commission. She said “I get 3,000 riel in commission if I sell one bottle.”

What I noted is that while we decided to drink the kind of beer, whose beer girls will serve guests by pouring beer into glass and sometimes sit near guests and drink beer too. Sometimes, they try to drink more and more possible because they need more empty beer bottles.

Most guys like going out to Beergarden because they need to be happy to drink beer and need to chat with girls, especially beer promotion girls, or hostesses. That is the life of men who like going out at night.

Lunch at Cup Café restaurant- Phnom Penh

Last Saturday, I and other two friends- Virak, Nearirath- went to have lunch at the new place because sometimes we are boring of eating the same place. Cup Café restaurant is the new place we had lunch together and I thought we could access wireless internet. Unfortunately, we could not access wifi internet but there are two CPs placed on the wall with internet connection with free of charge.

Normally, I rarely have stayed at home the whole day over the weekend because I have no internet access. Therefore, I always find the places with free wifi internet at Coffe Shop, not internet café. Because it is the comfortable place equipped with air-conditioner, internet access. By the way, it is easy to meet some friends as well. But the price of foods, fruit juice, coffee… is more expensive.

Lunch with friends

That is lucky day that a friend of mine paid the lunch for me. It is a small restaurant off the ministry of rural development, where I sometimes like to have lunch with them there because all Khmer foods are cooked instantly. Its price is not so expensive. Most of NGOs staff and government officials like going there.

Probably, you ask me, why my friend paid for me? It is normal for paying for someone each other but that day was the special day because I just finished instructing him how to create and install blog and then he said to me that “I will pay lunch for you”. It sounded great!!! More than 2 years, I convinced him to create blog but he always rejected by saying that he did not like it and did not want to waste time.

Sometimes, I always convinced my friends to step into the world of blogging because I want them to share something but they are unlikely to do it. They think that it is time-wasting, and do not like to write. What they thought was like what I thought before, but now it is not like what I thought. I install blog and I can share my thoughts, opinions and something I know and see with friends and other readers, and then I can build network and friends with them as well.
