I would greet them with a smile and say something like, “Hi welcome to McDonald’s. How can I help you today?”

I can do both, but I enjoy working with a team because everyone can help each other get the job done faster and better.

I would apologize, check what the issue is, and help correct the order. If needed, I would ask the manager for help
