Both work places are located nearby my flat.
It happened last night at the Japanese restaurant.
A pair of customer ordered hot meal and cold meal at the same time(They didn't mention which would be a starter also cold meal which they ordered was kind of main meal)
As the restaurant was too crowded, hot meal served first.
A chief who was in charge of cold meal got a lot of order, so he took a long time to prepare it.
Then the customer called me and started complain about our
service.
She was saying that cold meal had to be comes first but even though they finished hot meal and waited and waited, still cold meal hasn't served!!!
I didn't take their order and wasn't sure what's going on.So All I could do was just apporogize to the customer and comfirmed the order.
I didn't know what to say them because In Japan, It doesn't matter to serve in order(except course meal)
While I was thinking what to say, she said "Oh maybe you don't understand me" to me with upset look.
I said to her "We should have served you cold meal first" she said "YES!"
If I could speak English better, she wouldn't had upset like this.
I thought I was used to work as a waitress but need to level up my English and have to mamage whatever happens.
