The Team Member asks for help.
The customer issue is about a food-related illness.

24 7/2001 Developing CHAMPIONS
Module 1 — Customer Mania Leading a Shift
When you help a Team Member resolve a customer issue, follow these guidelines:
Wait until a break in the conversation. Do not interrupt someone who is speaking. It is impolite and may make the customer more unhappy.
Introduce yourself as the MOD. Tell the customer that you noticed there may be a problem. Ask how you can help.
As soon as possible after the incident, coach the Team Member on what to do differently next time.
Whenever possible, follow up with every customer who complains, even if the Team Member resolves the issue.
After the customer leaves:
Review the incident later with all of the Team Members who saw it. In this review, discuss how to prevent such an incident from recurring.
Inform the RGM or Area Coach about the incident.
