A part time job of my student days

When I was a graduate student, I worked at a convenience store as a part time worker from Friday to Sunday in the early morning. The store was a first floor of a residential building. I usually stayed checkout counter and sometimes cleaned up floor or restroom and so on. It was very crowded at the commuting time. I liked to be sold snacks because they were snacks I cooked. For example, Oden, fried chicken, French fries, Chinese steamed bun and so on. Because I prepared deep-fried fish paste too many, I was prohibited from preparing Oden.

One day, I prepared Chinese steamed bun. First I microwaved them with pushing No.5 button then displayed in the steaming showcase. But I set microwave 5 minutes instead of No.5 button on the day. The power of the microwave was three times higher than the normal one. It was too heat and smoke is coming from the microwave. There was only a costumer reading a magazine. I turned off the microwave quickly and opened the entrance door. But smoke is filled on the ceiling and finally fire alarm rang in the early morning.

It was my fault, but nothing in particular after that. I was relieved. I couldn’t push No.5 button for a while after that.
