Can you share some commission horror stories from the service industry?

Sure. In the service industry, like in a restaurant. A waiter was promised a commission for getting a large party to order a special expensive wine. He convinced the party to go for it. But then the restaurant management decided that the wine was on a special promotion and so no commission would be given. The waiter was really disappointed as he had really worked hard to promote it.

One horror story is about a waitress. She had a table of very rude customers. They complained about everything - the food, the speed of service, even though she was doing her best. They made her run back and forth constantly, and in the end, they left a really small tip even though she worked so hard for them.

In some places, there have been 'Joint Commission horror stories' related to equipment maintenance. For example, a surgical unit had some of their crucial surgical equipment that was not regularly maintained as required by the Joint Commission. During an operation, the equipment malfunctioned. This not only endangered the patient's life but also caused a great deal of stress for the surgical team. Moreover, there was an instance in a rehabilitation center where the Joint Commission found that the patient assessment procedures were not up to the mark. Staff were not accurately assessing patients' progress, which meant that some patients were not getting the appropriate level of care and were either over - or under - treated.

Sure. Once, I worked in a restaurant. There was a customer who ordered a steak well - done. But when the steak arrived, he said it was too tough and demanded a new one. The chef was a bit frustrated but made a new one. When it was served, the customer said, 'Oh, this one is too tender, I want the first one back!' It was quite a hilarious situation.

Sure. One time I went to a restaurant. The waiter took forever to take our order, and when the food finally came, it was cold and completely different from what we ordered. Another time at a hotel, they gave our reserved room to someone else and then offered a dirty, small room as an alternative.

A shocking one was when a hospital was found to have a major problem with its medication management system. Medications were being stored in improper conditions, and there were no proper checks in place to ensure the right medications were given to the right patients. This led to several cases of patients receiving the wrong drugs or incorrect dosages.

One horror story could be when an escort was hired but turned out to be involved in stealing from the client. She managed to take some valuable items while the client was distracted. Another might be where an escort brought along some unruly friends who harassed the client.

One time I went to a restaurant and the waiter took forever to take our order. When he finally did, he got half of it wrong. Then the food took an extremely long time to come out, and when it did, it was cold. It was a really frustrating experience.

Sure. One horror story is about a diplomat who was sent to a very remote and politically unstable area. The living conditions were extremely poor. There was no proper sanitation, and the diplomat constantly faced threats from local militias. Another is when embassy staff had to deal with a sudden outbreak of a deadly disease in the host country but received very little support from their home country in terms of medical supplies and evacuation plans.

A restaurant chain had issues with finding experienced chefs. They decided to look at a different pool of candidates, including those who had just graduated from culinary schools. They provided on - the - job training. This turned out to be a great success. The new chefs were eager to learn and brought in new recipes and cooking techniques. The restaurants saw an increase in customers as the food quality improved.
