The Metro Stations
Starting Out On the
Wrong Foot
By Marvin Rivera
I remember one of the most embarrassing moments happened on my
first day in my job. It was my first
day in the restaurant and the manager
told me that one of your responsibilities is to give water to the customers,
but they had two kinds of glasses: one
for the water and one for the white
wine. I put the water in the white
wine glass. When the customer saw it
he said something to me, but I
couldn‟t understand anything. After
the customer spoke with the manager
and the manager explained the problem to me. It was so embarrassing.
