Recently, cover news, Sichuan Daily and other reports said that when a netizen was looking for a part-time job in a milk tea store, he was ridiculed by the recruiter for questioning the low hourly wage offered by the store.

It is understood that the job seeker is a college student who wants to find a part-time job in a milk tea shop in his spare time during the holidays. He found a local chain milk tea store through the recruitment platform, and in the process of communicating with the store staff, the job seeker learned that the part-time job was paid "8 yuan an hour" and gave a "toothbrush (note: Sichuan-Chongqing dialect) 8 yuan". Unexpectedly, the store staff responded to "figure out your own weight, bits and pieces".

The job seeker who got this reply felt aggrieved. "it's just that he asked for a part-time job. It doesn't matter to me that he has nothing wrong with driving 8 yuan an hour. The main reason is that he casually evaluates us college students as scraps, no matter what is very disrespectful." So his interview experience was made into a video and posted on the online platform, causing a large number of netizens' attention and hot discussion.

In the view of some netizens, the phrase "toothbrush" given by job seekers after learning the part-time hourly rate should be the trigger for the other party to say "bits and pieces".

They pointed out that the word "toothbrush" is slang in Sichuan-Chongqing dialect, and the emotion expressed should be judged according to the context and tone of the speaker. In the conversation between job seekers and store staff, most people said that it can be understood as job seekers are surprised and unbelievable after learning about the salary, similar to "Wow!" Modal words such as "Oh, my God" mean no harm.

However, the same sentence has different understandings in different people's ears. Some speculate that job seekers' casual slang may be offensive to store staff, and in context, job seekers seem to question the low hourly pay for part-time jobs, leading recruiters to reply with dissatisfaction.

However, in the view of more netizens, the store staff called job seekers with "bits and pieces" in the process of communication, obviously showing some disrespect for each other, believing that the person in charge of the milk tea store should apologize to the college students looking for jobs.

After the incident fermented, the staff involved in the milk tea shop contacted the parties through the recruitment platform and apologized to them, saying that they had used inappropriate language in the process of communication because they were out of control, and promised to pay more attention to their words and deeds in the future. to prevent similar situations from happening again.

Reporters familiar with the matter also contacted the official customer service of the brand Fangshu, which also burned fairy grass, and the staff responded, "We have carried out a store closure and negotiated and communicated with the classmate, and obtained forgiveness." the relevant remarks issued by the recruitment platform belong to the personal behavior of the store manager and run counter to our company's values and our service philosophy of burning fairy grass.

With regard to the follow-up treatment, the brand said that it will be punished in accordance with the company's internal regulations through further communication, and the public who are concerned about this matter can pay attention to the relevant information released by the authorities on the social platform.

As for the "part-time hourly wage of 8 yuan" that some netizens care about, the staff also replied, "because we are in the form of joining, in the part of salary management, it is managed by the franchisees themselves." but after this incident, we will certainly negotiate and rectify the salary management of the franchisees in the future.
