Char Kway Teow, anyone? (Part I)
*Adapted from an un-namable source*
Once upon a time, there was this ah pek sellng Char Kway Teow. His Char Kway Teow was not the best, but it showed promise. Days went by and his Char Kway Teow improved and more people came to savour the goodies. Well, actually, it's just that he was the only Char Kway Teow Stall around, so there wasn't much choice.
Anyway, while initially he could run everything by himself, soon he found that he needed help to run his stall. He expanded his business by employing more people to help out. And things were good.
More days went by. One day, a very important person old him that he would be visiting his stall on a certain date. As the Ah Pek was concerned that only the best service should be served to the VIP, he decided to declare a half day for the stall. The Ah Pek was then chided by his Operations Manager (yes business was THAT big now) that you must provide Char Kway Teow for you customers at all times, not as and when the Ah Pek felt like it.
Ah Pek agreed. Customers come first after all.
Yet more days went by. The helpers at the stall started to leave for their better futures. Ah Pek was getting a bit stressed now. He asked the Manpower manager (business is big, ok) to get replacements as soon as possible. The Manpower manager said: " At the moment, we can't get new help, don't worry, I will ask the stall next door if they can spare some manpower."
The stall next door kindly contributed 1 helper. This helper would help out in boths stalls whenever possible. This helper was very hardworking and so all went well.
