我们平日里最常投诉的就是餐饮业,因为一日三餐可能都要在外面解决,所以他们遭到我们投诉的概率就非常大啦。比如外卖忘记给餐具啦,送来的汤只剩下一半啦,在饭店吃到一半发现小强啦,我就不信你从来没经历过!无论平时你多怂,但是按照雅思口语题目的要求—describe a complaint that you made and you were satisfied with the result,这次我们不光要投诉,老板还必须得给我们个满意的结果!来吧,顾客就是上帝,我们一起意淫一篇小短文吧:
I’d like to talk about the time I made a complaint to the manager of a restaurant and I was pretty satisfied with the way he handled the whole thing.
Here’s what happened.
The other day, I was eating out in a restaurant with some of my friends near my high school. We were joking, laughing and having fun. However, all of a sudden, I noticed a bug right in the middle of a dish. I couldn't name what kind of bug it was, it’s like a cockroach or something, anyway, I felt so disguised, I mean, it was so stomach turning. All of us suddenly lost our appetite. We were so angry, so we sent for the manager, and I was like, ‘We didn’t order this bug, what’s it doing in my soup? Any explanations?’ He was terribly sorry, and he said something like… ‘It must have been an accident, our kitchen is spotless, the food hygiene in our restaurant is completely guaranteed’, blah, blah, blah...
And in order to show how sorry he was, he decided to make it up to us. He said, everything we ordered that day was on the house, and he hoped this accident wouldn’t stop us from visiting his restaurant in the future. He promised, he would give us a free dish every time we go there.
So I’m pretty satisfied with his attitude and I like the fact that he could take on his responsibility as a manager.
