1. You manage a fast-food restaurant that had typically been staffed by younger people. Recently, you've added two older workers to the crew taking orders from customers. You're beginning to hear some mutterings from the younger staff about the older workers taking longer to prepare orders, chatting with customers, and being tentative about your computerized ordering system. What do you do?

a. Call a team meeting so that everyone can discuss what's going on at work and talk through their concerns.

b. Ignore the problem. Your younger staff tend not to stay at the job for very long, so they'll soon be gone. The older staff will already be in place when newer young ones are hired, and these newer staff will sim- ply take the older workers' way of doing business in stride.

c. Assess the situation. Are the older workers doing a good job? Are their different work styles producing customer satisfaction or customer annoyance?

d. Create teams of older and younger workers so that they can learn from each other. If that doesn't work out, reassign the older workers to jobs that aren't as time sensitive
