Everyone’s (first and) LAST responsibility is to ensure our guests have a great experience. That

being said, there are going to be times when we will make a mistake. Mistakes are okay, as

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

leave without attempting to make them happy? It is imperative that all guests leave knowing we

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.
