Read

Nina organizes lunch for her team during a busy workday. She asks everyone to choose a meal and writes the orders on a sheet of paper. One coworker requests a sandwich without cheese. Another prefers a salad with chicken. Nina calls the restaurant and explains each request carefully. When the food arrives, she checks the bags before the driver leaves. One sandwich contains cheese, so she contacts the restaurant again. The staff prepares a replacement and sends it quickly. Everyone gathers in the break room and enjoys lunch together. Nina keeps the receipt and returns to her desk afterward.
