Episode 264: "Risk vs. Reward"

Is it worth it? I often see people take unnecessary risks and I'm not sure why it is that they do it. When I was a server at a restaurant at the Four Seasons hotel, we always had to write down the order. We weren't taking a chance that we'd forget something in someone's order just to say that we were able to memorize. Especially when you have a very simple tool in order to ensure that you got it right. That exact thing happened to me today, someone took my order but wasn't writing it down. I even thought to myself, "she isn't writing this down, is she going to forget something?". Turns out, yep, she forgot something. The main ingredient that I went there for.
