As business people, one thing that we always want to do is satisfy our customers. And that has always put us in a position to always try to fulfil every order you receive.

In business, are there orders you should ignore? What would make an order worthy to be ignored in your business?

My busiess is different, there is no order to happen, it is a milk tea-selling business. Somehow, I am thinking of operating a mini grocery store and there will be possible orders, so I must serve my customers with the best of my ability.

I will turn down any orders that cannot be delivered on time. I do not want to lose my face for not keeping a promise.
That’s right. Even if they are not delivered on time, they should be delivered when we have agreed on. That’s how to keep to promises in a business and it goes a long way

You are in your business to make money, if there is an order that does not generate profit for you, or would make you spend more, then it's best not to avoid it.

One should turn down orders which one would not be able to meet on time. Some businesses takes way too many orders and they end up overworking their staffs and disappointing customers.
