I'm sorry," she cried.I'm sorry," she cried. "It won't happen again. I really need to keep this job. Please give me another chance." The hook was set. All I had to do was reel it in. I pretended to be deep in thought. "Well, I really shouldn't," I answered her, "But seeing how you're new, I'll give you another chance. But just to make sure you'll be more careful, I'm going to add another rule. no more throwing away any food. If you make a mistake in an order, you eat it." The look of shock on her face was as if she had been slapped. "I can't do that," she shot back. "Suppose I make a lot of mistakes. What will that do to my figure?" I told her that was her decision, but if she didn't agree, I would have to find someone else to do the job. |
