Average Answer:

Topper Answer:
The situation requires a calm and solution-oriented approach. I would first listen to the customer patiently and understand the issue. I would verify the details and explain the process clearly. I would assist in registering a complaint and ensure proper follow-up. I would maintain a polite and professional tone throughout. This approach would help resolve the issue effectively and maintain customer trust.
