A product you bought and was dissatisfied about. v.1

A product you bought and was dissatisfied about. v. 1
A product you bought and was dissatisfied about. You should say:  what the product was  where you purchased it from what you did with the product and explain why you were not satisfied with the product.   Model Answer 1: I try not to be a very picky person when it comes to choosing or buying a product. But, that may not always be a wise thing to do because it leaves us enough room for dissatisfaction just like it did for me when I bought a product last month. It was a travel bag which I bought from one of the popular and prestigious shopping centres in my city. I could have bought that travel bag from some other stores, but since one of my cousins convinced me to visit that shopping centre, because it was selling some beautiful travel bags on discount, I decided to oblige. I must say that I never really visited that super centre because I was under the impression that they didn’t have a collection of enough quality products. But, after visiting that shopping centre, I was proved out to be wrong because they did sell a lot of products, including some top-class travel bags. And, they were being sold on some discounted price also. Naturally, I felt happy and picked up a travel bag for me which looked just too perfect for me at that time. Of course, I had to pay a hefty price for it even though the product was sold on a discount. By the way, the bag was supposed to be water-proof. But, after taking it home, after a few weeks, I found out that it was not waterproof when I accidentally spilt some cold coffee on it. On top of that, I also noticed that the metallic chain looked already loose after using it only for a few times. So, the next day, I took the bag to the store and explained the situation. I also told them that I paid a lot of money for that bag even after getting a good discount. I also argued that the bag was actually made out of poor materials and as such, they should have given me a full refund. Luckily, the manager understood the gravity of the situation and gave me a full refund.

Model Answer 1:

I try not to be a
very
picky person when it
comes
to choosing or buying a
product
.
But
, that may not always be a wise thing to do
because
it
leaves
us
enough
room for dissatisfaction
just
like it did for me when I
bought
a
product
last month.

It was a
travel
bag
which I
bought
from one of the popular and prestigious shopping
centres
in my city. I could have
bought
that
travel
bag
from
some
other stores,
but
since one of my cousins convinced me to visit that shopping
centre
,
because
it was selling
some
beautiful
travel
bags
on discount, I decided to oblige.

I
must
say that I never
really
visited that super
centre
because
I was under the impression that they didn’t have a collection of
enough
quality
products
.
But
, after visiting that shopping
centre
, I
was proved
out to be
wrong
because
they did sell
a lot of
products
, including
some
top-
class
travel
bags
. And, they were
being sold
on
some
discounted price
also
.

Naturally
, I felt happy and picked up a
travel
bag
for me which looked
just
too perfect for me at that time.
Of course
, I had to pay a hefty price for it
even though
the
product
was sold
on a discount. By the way, the
bag
was supposed
to be water-proof.
But
, after taking it home, after a few weeks, I found out that it was not waterproof when I
accidentally
spilt
some
cold
coffee on it.
On top of that
, I
also
noticed that the metallic chain looked already loose after using it
only
for a few times.

So
, the
next
day, I took the
bag
to the store and
explained
the situation. I
also
told
them that I paid
a lot of
money for that
bag
even after getting a
good
discount. I
also
argued that the
bag
was
actually
made out of poor materials and as such, they should have
given
me a full refund. Luckily, the manager understood the gravity of the situation and gave me a full refund.
