On the issue of steak doneness, some netizens raised an interesting point: the waiter may have misunderstood the customer's "medium", thinking that it refers to the medium of large and small portions, rather than the doneness.
They suggested that it might be easier to understand if customers said "medium rare". This claim has sparked some discussion, with some arguing that it may be a miscommunication due to cultural differences, while others believe that it is purely unprofessionalism on the part of the waiter.
In any case, this incident is a reflection of the restaurant's problems with service and communication. In the F&B industry, good service attitude and effective communication are crucial.
If the waiter does not understand the customer's needs correctly, or has a bad attitude when dealing with the problem, it will be difficult to retain the customer's heart, even if the food is delicious.
