Passage 1 When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer's claim for it,the first step is to present the warranty(),or any other records which might help,at the store of purchase. In most cases,this action will produce results.However,if it does not,there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager.In general,the higher up'the consumer takes his or her complaint,the faster he or she can expect it to be settled.In such a case,it is usually settled in the consumer's favor,assuming he or she has a just claim.

For example,'The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear'is much better than 'This stereo does not work.'
