  7. Customer situation I asked my mom for a customer situation, because I haven’t really dealt with many customers. My parents own a greenhouse business, and she told me about one of her customer situations.

  8. Customer situation • The lady walks in and looks at her baskets, and then my mom goes up to the cash register and totals up all the items to find the cost.  

  9. Customer situation My mom told her the total. • Then the lady said: "You are over-charging me, that's not what I agreed to pay!" • My mom said: "I totaled it all up and that is the amount that you agreed to pay." • My mom also said: "I can show you the receipt if you'd like, and I will show you how it all totaled up." • She showed the lady the receiptand the lady said: "Oh, ok it just added up to be more than I expected." My mom said: "That's ok, I'm glad I was able to make that clear for you, have a nice day."

  10. Type of customer, & method used • Argumentative customer • My mom was calm, and showed her the receipt, making sure to show her how it all added up.
