How to write a complaint
We figured out where to write a complaint, but what about the form itself, what must be indicated? First, let's figure out what the complaint consists of?
- The point is, what is the reason? Complaining about an employee or not satisfied with the quality of the products?
- Time, date of purchase, etc.
- The store where you purchased the product or encountered disrespectful behavior.
Based on this, you should fill out the form. Pay maximum attention to the content of the message; under no circumstances should you use profanity.
By the way, if you have questions about service for a specific person, you should definitely clarify his name and position, and, if possible, record them electronically.
As for a complaint about a product, you should clarify not only the name of the product, barcode, but also the production date.
In any case, on the official website there are instructions on how to write a complaint correctly; in case of difficulties, use it.
