Chain saw saga tests store’s customer relations
In May 1975 a department store sold a chain saw for 148 dollars used once without issue. A year later it would not start and a returned battery failed too. Three repair attempts explored, a 9 dollar service fee charged, and no helpful follow up from the customer relations representative. The columnist notes a communications gap and suggests the store’s high standards imply the fault lies in the outreach.

Hotline narrator reports Frank Sherry suggests returning the saw for a check up after three new batteries were provided free. If the unit or battery is defective, readers are advised there is no recourse. The item also notes disposal efforts for newspapers and local pickup options.
