how would you deal with an irritated guest

4 Answers

I would listen to them, first and foremost. I would make sure they knew that they had my undivided attention. Once they finished venting, I'd do anything within my power to fix the problem and make sure the guest was, in the end, satisfied. The only time I would get a supervisor would be if 1. They requested I get one, or 2. There was nothing I could do because I didn't have the authority. Less

I would ask them to remain calm while I sort out the situation

Calmly listen to their complaint and try to sort it out within my power at the spa. If they are still irritated after offering them my own solution, I would involve management so everyone walks away happy. Less
