How to Complain
Don't shout! Losing your temper or shouting (1)
won't help you. Keep
calm, speak (2)
but (3)
and make it clear that you
will not go away until someone listens to you (4).

shop assistant is not enough. Go (5)
to the top and ask to see the manager.
If the goods you have bought are not working (6)
or are damaged you
should get your money back (7)
Choose a time when the shop is busy
and make your complaint (8)
but in a polite way. Take photos of the
damaged goods, keep all receipts and guarantees (9)
and make copies
of any letters you have sent or received.

long enough for the shop to reply so wait
