Returns & Exchanges
Explaining why, showing the receipt, refund or exchange.
One situation, many conversations
In real life “Returns & Exchanges” isn’t one conversation. It’s the time it went smoothly, the time something went wrong, the time you had to ask one more question. Each one uses different words, so each one is practised on its own.
