Table 4. Example dialogue for difficult situation: In case of specific volume is not in stock

Step Action Example dialogue
1 Empathy Yes, I understand you are looking for a smaller version of the product.I regret to inform you that if there were a wider range of choices for the product, we would have had a wider selection for you.
2 Explaining the fact/exploring the reason Unfortunately, only 1 bottle per person is allowed to be purchased at the Duty-Free store, and therefore, we carry mostly big bottles. Are you looking for something to enjoy at home?
3 Alternative proposal/product suggestion Even if it is a big bottle, I can assure you that it is cheaper than the smaller bottle sold outside the Duty-Free store. I guarantee that you will not regret this purchase if you take advantage of this great price.
