Here's How:
- Accept the fact that if both of you agree something is wrong with a restaurant meal or a hotel room, it probably is.
- Identify the specific problem.
- Figure out how you want the provider to solve it (e.g. supply another dinner, assign a new room, repair a broken lamp, within a set amount of time.)
- Clearly and politely explain the situation to the person who initially assisted you.
- Determine if he/she has the authority and willingness to remedy the situation.
- If not, immediately ask to speak to a supervisor or owner.
- Repeat No. 4, including the time, location, whom you spoke to about the situation previously, and how you want the problem solved.
- In most cases, you'll get satisfaction at this point. No one likes an unhappy customer.
- If you're not satisfied, accept the fact that it may take longer to get your problem solved.
- Depending on the severity of the problem, leave the restaurant or depart from the hotel. Most likely you will have to pay, but hold onto your records.
- When you get home, dispute the bill with your travel agent or credit card company.
- Write a letter to the company president.
- If all else fails, take 'em to court.
- The more authority a company representative has, the more likely he or she can solve your problem.
- Don't lose your temper. It will only make things worse.
- Try to keep a sense of humor. Things always go wrong, but how we handle them can make the difference between a ruined trip and a rescued one.
