TEXT ONE
High-quality customer service is preached by many ,but actually keeping customers
happy is easier said than done
Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store, but instead will
alert their friends, relatives, co-workers, strangers-and anyone who will listen.
Store managers are often the last to hear complaints, and often find out only when their
regular customers decide t frequent their competitors, according to a study jointly conducted
by Verde group and Wharton school
“Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers,”said Paula Courtney, President of
the Verde group.”the store loses the customer, but the shopper must also find a replacement.”
On average, every unhappy customer will complain to at least four other, and will no
longer visit the specific store for every dissatisfied customer, a store will lose up to three more
due to negative reviews. The resulting “snowball effect” can be disastrous to retailers.
According to the research, shoppers who purchased clothing encountered the most
problems. ranked second and third were grocery and electronics customers.
The most common complaints include filled parking lots, cluttered shelves, overloaded
racks, out-of-stock items, long check-out lines, and rude salespeople.
During peak shopping hours, some retailers solved the parking problems by getting
moonlighting local police to work as parking attendants. Some hired flag wavers to direct
customers to empty parking spaces. This guidance eliminated the need for customers to circle
the parking lot endlessly, and avoided confrontation between those eyeing the same parking
space.
Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store layouts, pre-stocking sales
items, hiring speedy and experienced cashiers, and having sales representatives on hand to
answer questions.
Most importantly, salespeople should be diplomatic and polite with angry customers.
“Retailers who’re responsive and friendly are more likely to smooth over issues than
those who aren’t so friendly.” said Professor Stephen Hoch.“Maybe something as simple as a
greeter at the store entrance would help.”
Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filing complaints to the
retailer, instead of complaining to the rest of the world. Retailers are hard-pressed to improve

TEXT TWO
Scientists have devised a way to determine roughly where a person has lived using a
strand of hair , a technique that could help track the movements of criminal suspects or
unidentified murder victims .
The method relies on measuring how chemical variations in drinking water show up in
people’s hair. “You’re what you eat and drink, and that’s recorded in you hair,” said Thure
Cerling, a geologist at the University of Utah. While U.S diet is relatively identical, water
supplies vary. The differences result from weather patterns. The chemical composition of
rainfall changes slightly as raid clouds move.
