I started working today. Since his return from the Sanjaya Group company yesterday, Surti has been voicing to the neighbors that Abdulah is back to work in the elite company.
"Sir, I'm leaving first!!" abdulah said before he left on his Vario motorcycle.
Along the way, Abdulah was silent. He was happy to be called to work again. But what makes his heart unhappy is the reduction of salary and also the placement of the ugly branch according to him. How not, the 5th branch is like a dump. All items that are damaged or defective in production are usually placed in this branch. Well, it's like a dumping ground.
"Kang!! you're the new security guard? introduce me Ucup!" said a slightly fat man.
"That's it!" abdulah shakes the hand of the man named Ucup.
"I've been working here for almost ten years. So I know the ins and outs of this place!" Ucup.
Abdulah only responded with a forced smile. Throughout their introduction, Ucup was the more dominant story at length while Abdulah responded lazily.
"But the good thing here anyway, the reject items can be taken home! if I choose to stay here forever until retirement! itung-itung to save on kitchen expenses. There is everything here, so don't buy it again. I this year alone can send Hajj parents, just leaving next month, pray ya!" Ucup.
"Eh, can you really take it home? lots of products!" abdulah began to be interested in Ucup's story.
"Yes can! on the approval of this direct lord Darel, that is why we dare to take! usually we take it on 1-3, then 16-18, and lastly 28-30. The important thing is to take it as needed!" Ucup.
Wahhh, maybe too! itung-itung my money can be more efficient kitchen affairs. Nothing reject goods are also important can still be consumed! inner Abdulah.
"Today the schedule of the reject goods truck from branch 9 came! at most soon too, usually nine hours have arrived! I've memorized every branch truck that comes!" utup was proud.
Sure enough, at exactly nine o'clock in the morning the truck was yellow with the number nine on its left and right sides visible towards the front gate. Soon Ucup was helped by opening the gate so that the truck could enter. As it passed them, the truck driver gave a thumbs up to Ucup and was met with a thumbs up from Ucup.
"Let's see what items are rejected from branch 9!" bring Ucup.
Before leaving, do not forget they closed the gate again, so that no one entered.
"Hi, you Ucup! how's things? oh yeah, what house was bought yesterday?" ask the driver who was giving his thumbs up to Ucup.
"Alhamdulillah, fine, Asep's kang! yes already! in a week, the plan is to move, and I'm on leave!" answer Ucup.
"Ohh, great! the house there is very strategic and good if you want to make a sale! after all, the front page is quite spacious, rented out to make more profit!" said the driver named Asep gave advice.
"Wahhh, that's a good idea, kang! I'll try to negotiate with my wife and parents!" ucup was pleased with Asep's suggestion.
"Eh, there's a new security guard, huh, kang?" asep asked who was aware of Abdulah's presence.
"Eh, yes, kang! just started work today! I forgot to forget the same kang Abdulah, hehehe sorry ya kang!" utup said it was not nice to have ignored Abdulah.
"Greetings, I'm Asep! truck driver branch 9. And that's my friend, her name is Lori!" asep introduced himself and his partner to Abdulah.
"That's it! it's good to see you!" abdulah.
"Oh yes kang, what are these things that are brought?" ask Ucup.
"I'll check the list!" said Asep took a sheet of paper from his clip board.
"There's a lot, kang! there is also rice, there are still various sausages, bottled drinks, just a lot! just look at it for yourself!" said Asep showed the paper on his clip board that contains a series of items that are rejected.
"Wahhh, a lot of heat, kang!! can't wait two more days to get it!" utup said happily.
Abdulah also smiled at the string of writing. I don't know what he's thinking right now, which he's clearly starting to like his new workplace.
The newly arrived reject items were put in place assisted by warehouse employees. Then sorted back what is the problem of the goods in reject. If the wrong one is located in the package, it will be taken to the packaging room and then repackaged. While items that reject the shape will usually be put back in the warehouse waiting for the dates that have been set for later they can take home. Usually, rarely bottled drinks that they can take home because they are only damaged in the packaging, such as dents, colors or writing in blur packaging.
Today there is only one truck coming to branch 5, so it is not too tiring. After the bell rang, Abdulah and Ucup prepared to go home and were replaced by a night shift guard consisting of two people also named Jalu and Silo. Jalu, Silo, and Ucup are village partners. They are from Tasikmalaya who wander in Jakarta in search of windfall. All three are also accepted in the same company and the same branch is only Ucup different shift itself from two colleagues. After waiting for the two night shift guards, abdulah channeled briefly and then they went home each.
Two days later, on October 15. Abdelah departed from home like the days before. But this time he was carrying two large sacks. Surti was confused by the function of the sack, but when asked you answered that this sack has a very important function today, he replied this morning.
Yesterday Ucup said to abdulah before changing shifts to bring the container as a place for the items they will carry. Ucup also said that he usually carries a large sack as a container.
Arriving there, Abdulah did not see the goods, nor the people who swarmed to fight over the goods. Weird right? usually people will immediately swarm when getting free goods, let alone free discounts that many are hunting. Especially mothers.
"Cups! how lonely is it?" ask Abdulah.
"You waiting to scramble for reject stuff huh? relax, we will not fight! our slaps are already provided there, so later before going home, we go there to pick up any items we need. Everything is neatly arranged there! if we put it together again, let the warehouse people take it tomorrow!" clear Ucup.
"Ohh!! oh!!" abdulah said.
"Then, the stuff we didn't take away?" ask Abdulah curiously.
"It is usually sold again at a cheap price, then if it is close to expired, a maximum of five days before the expiration date will be donated to people who are less able. Usually they will immediately gather in front of the gate to take the goods. Our task is very heavy when it happens, because usually they scramble until someone is trampled so fierce they scramble!" clear Ucup.
"So serious until someone is trampled?" abdulah asked not to expect.
"Yes, there were two people who were injured by being trampled. Understandably, they can only feel good eating if there are expired items from here. Therefore they try to reach as many of their needs. Though it must not be up to scramble also to all kok!" clear Ucup.
"I have an idea! how about...." Abdulah whispered his idea to Ucup.
"Wahhh, that's a good idea, kang!! I'm sure it works!!" said Ucup happy with the proposal of Abdulah.
"I'm the top most, I just don't think about it!" utup praised Abdulah.
"Ah, could it be you!! this is also so that our work is not heavy!!" abdulah.
"It's really, really!!" utup said confirming Abdulah's speech.
As said by Ucup this morning, before changing shifts they headed to a place near the warehouse to pick up reject items.
"Woahhhhh, this is so much!!" abdulah said as he entered the place.
"Hahaha, surprised huh? I used to be like that when I just came in here! let's get whatever you need! you brought the box, right?" ask Ucup.
"Already! I brought him this big sack!" abdulah said showing her sack.
"Well, you look so happy! but don't have to carry a lot of the container."
"Why?" ask Abdulah confused.
"Yes, there are still other dates to take other reject items. Usually the item on the second and last date is good stuff. Not good, but delicious! I once had a fruit that had almost rotten maturity, so it could not be sold!" Ucup.
"Wohh, I'll take one sack!" abdulah.
"Well, so can you! let's grab!" Ucup.
Ucup, Abdulah, Silo, and Jalu who had just come also took the reject item. Just for a moment, the sack that Abdulah had brought was almost full. He took a lot of things ranging from food, also there are some drinks there are also bathroom needs such as soap and others. This bath soap he took was already in thick plastic. The shape is not neat and there are also patches of other colors so it is not worth selling. Abdulah took five packs of soap. It's good to make stock in the bathroom, he thought.
"Kang, I go home first huh? all I want to take!" said Ucup carrying his sack.
"Yes, I'm done with this too! I went home too!" abdulah.
They say goodbye to Silo and Jalu who still choose the goods they will take. The company of people who are too rich is different. Is it not a loss if it is shared like this? thought Abdulah when he drove his bike home.
