long as we take EVERY action possible to correct them and learn from them. Which do you
think worse? Telling a manger what happened so it can be corrected, or letting an angry guest

cared about their individual situation, that we put ourselves in THEIR shoes, recognized their
needs, and did everything possible to strive for a win-win situation.
