you arrive at the job
You’re new at MWAV, arriving at a job with your partner.
They’re from a different country and speak with an accent. When you greet your customer, they give your partner an uncomfortable look.
and meet the customer
As you all start talking about the job, they ignore your partner and only speak with you.
What should you do?
You could just ignore it - and risk leaving your partner to feel uncomfortable all by themselves.
You could confront the customer - and risk escalating the situation.
But it would be best to check in with your partner - see how they’re feeling and determine how they would like to handle the situation
