Unfortunate Mistake at Oak Mill Bakery

The bakery needs to have an organized way of making sure the orders get placed to make sure that their customers walk out happy and satisfied. They should also have a back-up-plan for instances like I had experienced. Though you cannot cover every specific possible problem in a company, you can have a general mediation that satisfies both sides.
Conclusion
It is understood by many that people are not perfect, mistakes are made.
