Shop assistant Hello, can I help you?
Customer Yes, I bought this digital radio here a week ago and there’s a fault with it.
Shop assistant Oh, I’m sorry. What’s wrong with it?
Customer There’s something wrong with the volume control.
Shop assistant Let’s have a look. Have you got the power lead with you?
Customer Yes, it’s in the box.
Shop assistant OK, I’ll just plug it in.
Customer You see? It’s very quiet. And when I try to turn it up … nothing happens.
Shop assistant Have you tried using the remote control?
Customer No, I haven’t.
Shop assistant There. It works perfectly with the remote control.
Customer But it’s still faulty, isn’t it? Can I have my money back?
Shop assistant We don’t give refunds, I’m afraid.
Customer No refunds? I’m not happy about that! The volume control doesn’t work!
Shop assistant I can give you a credit note.
Customer Hmm. Well, OK.
Shop assistant Have you got the receipt with you?
Customer Yes, I have. It’s in the box.
Shop assistant OK. If you just wait a moment, I’ll sort it out for you.
