Example Answer:
A customer once requested that I ask the concierge to run a bath for them before they returned to the room that evening. I didn't remember to give it to them until I saw them come back in. I instantly waved the customer over, gave an explanation, and said they could have a free glass of wine if they proceeded to the bar. I had the concierge fix my error by drawing a bath with a meat and cheese plate on the side of the bath while they sipped their wine. The client was overjoyed.
