People skill

Today, I've persuaded my sister and brother in law to go out and eat some pizza as I was craving for eat. Seems everyone has also the same salivation as mine hence we went out and arrive at pizza restaurant in the strip of rigga.

My sister whose usual order was caesar's salad with a default phrase of 'I'm on a diet'. Then, the waitress came to look at me to take my order, told her two medium size pizza (seafood & hawaiian). That's it! Everyone are satisfied with what we had. We just need to wait for them to serve it.

So, the salad came out first.. both my sister and brother in law rush in to take their bite. I was busy during this time looking out my phone. Afterwards, my sister asked me to try it as both of them satisfactory was overwhelmed. Looking at their faces, I seemingly felt envious churning up the leafy salad in their mouth so I took my fork and let one leaf touch my mouth. K done. I eat it.

The fun part came out. After the salad was almost cleaned up, we came to see a very healthy worm underneath the bottom of the plate waiting for us to finish the whole serving before showing up. The usual reaction of course was to get the attention of the waiter which have called the attention of the manager. He was indeed upset to see it explaining that his crew was cleaning everything sinceorning and that he is out of words with it. Given that all of us was also in the same industry were we deal with people and had been in the same shoe similar to the manager, we just replied that it was fine and that this is something that nobody had anticipate.

Then we let it passed, there came our other order the pizzas. We seems forget the worm incident and was so entice with the pizza. After, we've finished and almost can breath, we asked for the bill. The manager came to us again and was still sorry for what had happened as such he was humble to provide us not to pay for the bill but both my sister and brother  was insisting that we still had enjoyed the pizza. Given that the manager will not allow us to pay then we had accepted his complimentary to us and was uplifted to say that this will never happen again. 

Moral of story: Always put your self to the other person's shoe.
Everything can be settled in a nice manner were both sides are satisfied.
When dealing with people, when you sow empathy and honest concern towards them then be prepared to accept the same
