when we will make a mistake. If a mistake is made, we must own it and take EVERY action possible to
correct it. Which do you think worse? Telling a manager what happened so it can be fixed, or letting an
angry guest leave? 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 winwin
