In this way, these waiters and waitresses can remember the orders more easily.
These people may not work as fast as other servers, but they always try to do their best. “The volunteers take good care of us. And the customers are very nice and tolerant(宽容的）,＂said one of them. “I'm happy and confident here!”
Working at this restaurant provides these patients with a good chance to connect with society. This can help to slow doun the worsening(恶化）of their disease.
