"When I have some downtime, I'll help the bartender pick up food from the kitchen and deliver it to the table. One night a guest didn't realize that the burger came with jalapeno peppers on the sandwich, and she doesn't like spicy food. So she didn't read the menu closely and started scrapping them off because she was hungry. I told her that I would have the kitchen remake the burger and deliver it as soon as ready. Since the bartender was busy with other guests, I explained the mistake to the kitchen expeditor. Then, remembering the guest was hungry, I brought out a basket of fries to eat while waiting."
