Job nature of beer promo ladies?

[alea]

I personally can’t drink so I don’t get to patronize the beer promoters in coffeeshops. I assume they earn commission by promoting their brand of beer to the diners. But sometimes I see there are more than one beer promoters in one coffeeshop promoting the same brand of beer like Tiger. How do they determine who gets to first approach just-arrived customers? Just being curious about the nature of their job that requires them to wear short skirts and yet we man can only see but not touch. Haha.

Any bros here got stories to share about getting lucky with them?

History of beer girls. I think this is it. 20 yrs allreally. It started with Malaysian ladies. Part time jobs. Many of these girls were working and, sell beers at coffeeshops after office hrs.

Some how two yrs later, the beer companies hit a jackpot. They hired PRC ladies. The competition is on. Malaysian vs China. It actually moved into C8 variety shows and lunar 7 mths getai shows. The PRC girls were pdmm and, they provide more then drinks. They were on hired.

It was brought up in Tue reports? Man who spend too much on this promoters. Few yrs back the beer companies supply uniforms, the beginnig the girls were not happy. Rules are rules. Could be a SOP from authority. No idea! My strongest memory was an uncle above 60s. He says and I code.

We are here because we love drinking. Not here for girls.

I agreed but did he said the truth. I have no idea.

I think they get commission from every bottle they open? More bottles opened, more commission? So it doesn't matter who served first, rather who served more? So it's ok to have more than one Tiger Beer promoter?

But I guess if you want your patrons to buy more beer, then you should pour more beer for them so that they finish faster and then order more.

By right, individual beer promoters can only sell their own brand of beer but I guess sometimes they have some 'common understanding' with the coffeeshop owner to cross-sell?

And of course, I think some of these beer promoter also sell Kopi-o and Teh Susu because they can't leave non-alcoholic drinker brothers like us out? Who knows? We might not drink there but we _tah pow_ home them instead? Also a good deal?


Maybe I am wrong. Just sharing what I heard.

They just work out a deal with the coffeeshop, get how many cents each non alcoholic drink they help to sell.
Coffeeshop get extra helper, beer lady get extra income.
