Lucky Plaza’s ‘Grumpy’ Chicken Rice Eatery Is Now Hiring, No Smiling Needed To Work There

‘Grumpy’ Chicken Rice Eatery In Lucky Plaza Now Hiring Full-Timers & Part-Timers

A certain chicken rice stall in Lucky Plaza is well-known for their delicious food but reportedly “grumpy” customer service.

That hasn’t stopped customers from forming long queues outside, though — which may be why they’re now looking to hire staff.

They said that applicants who aren’t keen on customer service shouldn’t fret because no smiling is needed.

‘Grumpy’ chicken rice eatery posts hiring notice

Fiie’s Cafe, the eatery in question, posted a notice on Sunday (19 Feb) to their Instagram account, which incidentally has the apt handle @mistergrumpyfriedchicken.

It informed job hunters that they’re now hiring for both full-time and part-time positions.

Those interested may send them a direct message via Instagram or call their boss “Mister Grumpy” — if they dare.

Full-timers’ salaries up to S$3K

According to the notice, full-timers can expect to be paid S$2,600 to S$3,000 for their work.

However, they’ll also be working six days a week from Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm.

Part-timers will get S$10 an hour and also enjoy flexible working hours.

‘No smiling needed’ to work there

More details were in the post’s caption, which said applicants don’t need any experience if they’re “willing to learn”.

 

One of the things employees can learn is the owner’s demeanour, apparently.

In a nod to his infamously grumpy reputation, “no smiling” is needed to work for him.

Eatery plagued by lack of manpower

In an interview with 8days.sg, the owner gave one reason why he’s “grumpy”.

Like many F&B businesses in Singapore, they’re plagued by a lack of manpower.

Since the viral article, the queues have undoubtedly become even longer.

That’s probably why they’re now looking to hire and willing to pay up to S$3,000.

Hopefully, they can find a good worker to ease their manpower crunch — and maybe put a smile on Mr Grumpy’s face too.
