Sample Answer: One of our repeated customer had
purchased a TV and had requested for an electrician to install the
fittings at his residence. Due to staff shortage, the electrician he had
paid for could not reach his place timely. The next day, he was seen in
the store with a great fury, I calmed him down by apologizing, then
politely told him about our problems and that he will get electrician at
his residence shortly and also offered him a refund apologizing again
for the inconvenience caused. He left satisfied and I immediately
informed the management about the issue and it was resolved within no
time
