Before you agree to handle a guest's complaint, which statement is NOT a consideration?

• A. It is a decision you have the power to make
• B. The property is able to fulfill the request
• C. It follows your property's procedures
• D. The guest's request is always approved by management

Answer: (D)

The main idea is knowing what you can actually do for a guest before you commit to handling a complaint. You should only proceed if you have the authority to decide, if the property can fulfill the request, and if the action matches your established procedures. The statement about management always approving the guest’s request is not a valid consideration because you can’t rely on universal approval. Approvals depend on policies, availability, and specific circumstances, and they may vary. You should operate within your authority, verify feasibility, and follow procedures, seeking escalation only when the situation requires it.
