Hi,
The number one reason why people are not assertive is: fear. We are afraid of what others will think, say or do. This is quite normal, because no one likes to upset or inconvenience people. But being assertive usually results in someone being inconvenienced.
Let's talk about being assertive when buying a product or a service.
Think about what happens if you complain about cold, underdone or tasteless food in a restaurant. Someone will be inconvenienced. The waitress and the kitchen staff. You may get a grumpy look from an unprofessional waitress. But that's it.
But now think. What is the worst that can happen when you are assertive?
Someone will be upset. Big deal. Life is tough. If they can't stand the heat, they should get out the kitchen.
If you are paying for a service or product, then you have the right to get that service or product and if getting it inconveniences a sales person or manager, TOUGH.
If they give you a dirty look, just ignore it. They have no right to give you a dirty look after giving poor service or selling poor quality products.
You have every right to get what you paid for !
