Jollibee Vancouver BC Opens

The first Jollibee Store opens in Vancouver, Canada.

Like everywhere else a Jollibee opens in the world we can expect the same thing. 

This is because millions of Filipino expats work in every nation on earth. Millions of Filipinos have migrated to hundreds of countries. And there are thousands of cities all over the world where Filupinos have been waiting for decades to have their own Jollibee store.

Opening Day Blues

So even if they have done all the necessary preparations, clocked in a maximum number of service crew possible and even if they limit the number of items one can order, it is always the same results -- the lines are always crazy long, the wait is several hours, they run out of the most sought after items in the menu and the overall experience is typically just relieved the wait is over. 

Smart Advice

It is always best to wait a few weeks or even a couple of months to visit any new Jollibee.

Most have waited years, even decades, so why not wait for a few months more and enjoy the whole experience.

Anyway, even if we tell our homesick kababayans to wait, most will not be able to contain themselves and are waiting in line the night before opening day.

(Filipinos who haven't been an OFW, expat, immigrant or one who have not left the Philippines for an extended period of time wouldn't know the feeling)

Public demand like these are always a sign of hiring and even new stores opening soon. And that's good news for everybody. 

Happy jolly eating and jolly job hunting.
