Hey Pandas, What’s A Mistake You Made That Helped You In The Future? (Closed)

Have Fun :)

I quit my job in a bank prematurely and purely out of emotion. However, I was forced to look for a job that suits me better.

Recently at a new job I started, first night in, a large table of customers claimed to not order a pizza and bread I was bringing out, I didn’t take their order so I was like ok I’ll go back to kitchen and check, docket says it’s for them, but all 20 people claim ‘no it’s not for us’ so I went to another table with similar (young well dressed group) people on it, they said no too, did this three times between the two. Put a second docket of same order in so I could just give both tables the pizza bread, and end the fiasco. The second table I kept going too, their meals somehow ended up taking more than 50mins, so the first bread a pizza went to them as a sorry; it’s taking forever entree. And the second docket I put in covered the fact that the first damn table did in fact order the pizza and bread to share, the guy who ordered it had gone for a smoke during the whole, me running around phase.

Instead of having to pay for the extra bread and pizza out of my wage from that extra docket I put in, the first order went to the table starving and waiting and the second order went to the right table. The money wasn’t so much the issue, I would of eaten the pizza and bread and payed etc it was making sure the second table who had to wait also had their night turned around to a happy experience, instead of being upset at waiting forever for food (it was busy busy) w no communication etc. plus Rarely do I make a mistake, so when I do I’m hard on myself.

Not sure what state you're in, but in California it is illegal to take order mistakes out of the server's paycheck (or anything out of the paycheck for that matter)
