[Calm female voice] Good morning, customer service. [Pause] Oh, hello, this is Diane (slightly frustrated). I bought a Volta Budget vacuum cleaner from your store on the 31st of July. [Sighs] Unfortunately, the handle broke after just one week of use.
[Friendly male voice] I’m really sorry to hear that, Ms. Ruddick. Can I take your address, please?
[Calm female voice] Sure — 34 Garden Avenue, Hamilton.
[Male voice] And your contact number?
[Female voice] It’s 970 7520 — that’s my home number.
[Male voice – slightly formal] Thank you. You said it’s a Volta Budget model, 2000 watts, color red, correct?
[Female voice] Yes, that’s right. It cost me $104 in the sale.
[Male voice] I see. The problem is with the handle, you said?
[Female voice – annoyed] Yes, exactly. I tried to repair it myself, but it didn’t help.
[Male voice] We could offer a free repair.
[Female voice – firm tone] No, thank you. I’d rather have an exchange, please.
[Male voice – understanding] Of course. What special features do you need in the replacement?
[Female voice – thoughtful] It should have a reusable dust bag, please.
[Male voice] That’s fine. The model with that feature costs $180.
[Female voice – satisfied] That’s acceptable. Do you have it in silver?
[Male voice – cheerful] Yes, we do. I’ll process that for you right away. Thank you for calling, Ms. Ruddick.
