My coworker messed up a drink and told the customer “Sorry, it’s my first day” and they were all apologetic.
She’s worked here for 8 years… 😂

I know this waiter who told customers, “Sorry, it’s my first day” every time he messed up for 6 years before he opened his own restaurant.

The guy in the local coffee shop keeps saying “sorry it’s my first day at work” every time he messes up the order. Been seeing him there for over two years…he messed up my order today and was about to say something… looked at me in the eyes, he couldn’t.
