If you are having an issue with a co-worker, be sure to solve the problem in a private area and time. If this cannot be done, you are expected to act in a professional manner and leave your feelings behind. If you must confront a patron who is breaking a rule or policy, pleasantly inform the patron of the unacceptable behavior and explain the policy to them.
