@Mpumelelo Hlengwa explained how she ensures waiters and waitresses are okay at work:
“If the waiters or waitresses are not being kind, I call and talk to them. Sometimes they get disrespected by the previous customer, and when you come immediately after, they haven’t had a chance to go to the bathroom and collect themselves. Whenever I do that, they apologise and start working. They are human with feelings, and they also have personal issues. Be kind.”
