A Day in the Train Cafe
Reporter Bian Ye
Before 10:00 on April 29th, the reporter came to the train cafe of East China Jiaotong University to experience the waiter's day's work.
Nowadays, many university campuses have opened cafes to provide a good place for students to relax, and East China Jiaotong University is no exception. But unlike anywhere else, this is a cafe transformed from a green train car, with a "retired" locomotive in the front and rails underneath. At first glance, it is a green train, from which the name "train cafe" comes from. In 2015, as an alumni entrepreneurship program, the Train Cafe officially opened. As it is close to the inside of the school gate of the north campus, it has not only become a popular place for teachers and students of East China Jiaotong University to relax, but also attracted many passers-by to visit and take photos.
Born in 1991, Xiao Wang is a barista here. He makes coffee drinks and juice milk tea efficiently and beautifully. The reporter and two other clerks in the store are mainly responsible for delivering the "delicacies" made by Master Wang to the guests' table. At the end of the day, many customers not only filled a car, but also sat on the semi-open-air platform built on one side of the train. "thank you! Thank you! " Almost every labor can get a polite response from customers, which should be one of the happiest things to be a waiter. Fortunately, the reporter also got this feeling today. Xiao Wang said that this is also one of the reasons why he likes to work on campus.
Busy back to busy, Xiao Wang still does the work meticulously. Once, when he found a water stain hanging on the outer wall of the cup containing the drink, he immediately wiped it clean with a dry dishcloth. The college students of our school are the main customers here, in the car, or friends get together, or a group of students read and discuss, the laughter inside and outside the car is always heard, making people feel the beauty of youth everywhere. The afternoon sun showed its edge, and the temperature in the car gradually increased. Xiao Chen, the shop assistant, immediately turned on the vertical cabinet air conditioner at one end of the car to make the guests feel comfortable.
At 18:00, the turnover of the coffee shop was close to 1,000 yuan, but we had not seen many cash payments. Wechat and Alipay QR codes on the counter became the main channels for students to check out. "students like to pay by mobile phone, and we also hope that students can scan the code to save so much change. It's convenient." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
A labor experience, let the post-80s reporters realize that it is not easy for parents to be diligent in housework. Respecting the labor industry, including waiters, and sharing labor with relatives and friends as far as possible, the reporter believes that the happiness brought by labor will nourish each of us.
