Thank you for your interest in this study.

The following survey questions are designed to obtain information about customer service experiences. The questions ask you to recall or imagine an experience with a service provider and indicate your thoughts, feelings, or attitudes. There are no foreseeable risks to your well-being associated with this survey. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any question, you can withdraw from the survey at any point without penalty. It is very important for us to learn your opinions. We plan on taking what we learn and presenting these findings in an academic journal. This is an anonymous survey—your responses will be kept confidential and will be combined with others. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary and no personal information which can link the survey to you will be collected with your responses. This information is used only for research purposes. It is important that you answer every item—the survey consists of approximately 40 items and should take about 20 minutes. Please respond to each item honestly and accurately.

You must be at least 18 years old to participate and your participation is purely voluntary. You will not benefit directly from participating in this research study and will not be paid.

Please read the following scenario carefully and answer the questions that follow as honestly and accurately as possible.

You and a friend are going out to dinner at a casual dining restaurant on Friday night (there is no special occasion). Upon your arrival, you and your friend are greeted by the hostess, escorted to a table, and provided menus. You wait for well over 15 minutes before your server comes to the table. He takes your drink order and abruptly leaves. You place your food order when he returns with the drinks and you & your friend continue your conversation. Your food arrives, but you notice that it is not prepared as you ordered and it is unacceptable. The waiter takes your plate and returns after another long wait with the corrected order. You and your friend finish your meals, pay and leave without any further incident.
