You are going to write a short experiential piece on customer support. It should be your personal (real) experience.

Do not try and write an imaginary case. Future assignments will be based on this piece so please write it as honestly as possible from the view of a customer. [Please read Assignment 3 to understand what this setting is all about. It can be a bad experience with a mobile phone service provider, an over-the-counter service in a fast food outlet, supermarket, theme park or just about any place, business or organisation.]

Important Note: Attempting to contact any emergency service to obtain data for this assignment is not permitted and will automatically attract a zero mark for this assignment. Doing so is also an offence under the Commonwealth Criminal Code Act and is punishable under Australian law.
