The way to complain is to act business-like and important. (20) If your complaint is
immediate, suppose you got the wrong order at a restaurant, make a polite but firm request to see
the manager. When the manager comes, ask his or her name. And then state your problem and
what you expect to have done about it. Be polite ! Shouting or acting rude will get you nowhere.
But also be firm in making your complaint. Besides, act important. This doesn’t mean to put on
airsandsay“do youknow whoIam?” Whatitmeans is thatpeopleareoftentreated thewaythey
expectto be treated. If you act like someone who expects a fair request to be granted, chances are
it will be granted. (21) The worst way to complain is over the telephone. You are speaking to a
voice coming from someone you cannot see. So you can?t tell how the person on the line is
reacting.Itiseasyforthatpersontogiveyoutherun-around.Complaininginpersonorbyletteris
generally more effective. If your complaint does notrequire an immediate response, it often helps
to complain by letter. If you have an appliance that doesn’t work, send a letter to the store that
sold it. (22) Be business-like and stick to the point. Don’t spend a paragraph on how your unde
