Bad Customer Service Example Set by a Manager

One of my favorite restaurants was famous for having its maître d’ walk backwards up the stairs while conducting guests to their tables.

In this week’s video, I share why they walked backwards up the stairs at Tony’s in St. Louis, and how you can keep your eyes on your customers, too.
