 * November 2, 2011**

**Scenario 1** Last weekend you went to American Eagle in Cornwall Centre to buy a pair of jeans and were given incredibly poor customer service. Details of your shopping experience:
 * The store associates were talking behind the counter and completely ignored you
 * You wandered around the store until an associate rudely asked “Can I help you?” to which you responded “Yes, I’m looking for a pair of jeans” and she said “We have jeans all over the store” and walked away.
 * After grabbing a few pairs of jeans yourself, you stood outside a changeroom for 10 minutes before someone let you in
 * No one came and asked how you were doing in the changeroom when you needed some different sizes.
 * You left the store without buying anything and want to write a letter to American Eagle to let them know about their poor customer service at the Cornwall Centre location.

**Scenario 2** You finally saved up enough money to buy an XBOX 360 and a few games to go along with it. 4. Complete Thank You Letter: 5. Tech Task #6
 * You purchased it at Best Buy, and after only 2 months, it is not working right.
 * Every time you play a game for more than 10 minutes, it makes a really loud noise and sounds like it is going to blow up.
 * You called Best Buy and the person on the phone accused you of doing something to wreck it, and therefore there was nothing they could do.
 * You are currently stuck with an XBOX 360 that doesn’t work properly and you want to write a letter to Best Buy to complain about selling you a faulty XBOX and their refusal to do something about it.
