If a client is upset about your service and does not get what they want they can and will tell others how bad your service is. So, being tactful when addressing a customer is important even if they are difficult.

Yesterday I had an opportunity to join my niece for one of her documentary shoots for college. She was interviewing a homeless man she had just met two days before in Union Square in Manhattan. This man had approached her dressed in a business shirt, slacks, well-groomed, laptop in hand and an assistant to do a survey.
