Passage Five
Complaining about faulty goods or bad service is never easy.
Most people dislike making a fuss. But if something you have bought is faulty or
does not do what was claimed for it, you are not asking for a favour to get it
put right. It is the shopkeeper’s responsibility to take the complaint seriously
and to replace or repair a faulty article or put right poor service, because he
is the person with whom you have entered into an agreement. The manufacturer may
have a part to play but that comes later.
Complaints should be
made to a responsible person. Go back to the shop where you bought the goods,
taking with you any receipt you may have. Ask to see the owner in a large store.
In a small store the assistant may also be the owner so you can complain
directly. In a chain store ask to see the manager. If you telephone, ask the
name of the person who handles your enquiry, otherwise you may never find out
who dealt with the complaint
