25. Believe • This is the cornerstone of handling a customer complaint. Yes, the customer may be lying and be incorrect about their situation. It is important to understand that your customer believes that your establishment has wronged them.

26. Listen • Stop and listen to your customer's complaint • Take a second, relax, and listen. On occasion a complaining customer will be rude, angry, and use vulgar language, stay the course and remain calm • When the customer is done venting; in a calm, non-judgmental tone, repeat their problem • No excuses, just solutions!

27. Apologize • Always apologize even if you did nothing wrong. • A sincere apology will usually diffuse a lot of frustration that the customer has.

28. Satisfy • Make it right. Ask the customer "What can I do to make this right for you"? Be the judge of what is fair of course, but allow them the opportunity to feel empowered over the situation.

29. Thank • At the beginning, at the end, in the middle; it doesn't matter, thank the customer for calling, writing or communicating and complaining. • A happy customer will tell two or three friends about a good experience, but an unhappy customer will tell at least ten friends about their experience and it always multiplies through word of mouth.
