How do you handle difficult customers or challenging situations in a fast-paced environment?

I apologize for the inconvenience that may have happened and listen to the customers needs, I find a solution and let the customer know what that solution is.
One time at Mcdonald's a customer came in from the drive through line saying their order was wrong, I apologized and told them we will re-make and prioritize their order. They asked if that would take too long I said it'll take a few minutes. I asked my team to expedite the order and as the customer was waiting I thanked them for their patience and for letting me know.
A few moments after their order came out fast and they said thanks then left in a hurry.
