Sure, I'd be happy to help you with that. Here's a general response, but it depends on the specific policies and procedures of your store.

1. **Apologize and listen**: Even if it's not your fault, express empathy and listen to the customer's concerns without interrupting or getting defensive.

2. **Check the product**: Request the customer to show you the vape, check if all the parts are secured and functioning properly.

3. **Investigate the cause**: Ask questions to understand what happened. Was it the battery? Did it get damaged during transportation? Did the customer try to use it several times and it didn't work?

4. **Troubleshoot**: If the vape can be fixed, try to solve the issue. Check the charger and ensure they work properly. If not, ask the customer if he's charge it on a different charger.

5. **offer a replacement or refund**: If the vape cannot be fixed and the issue is not due to any misuse or intentional damage from the customer, offer them a replacement or refund. Ensure that you have a troubleshoot guide prepared to guide you in the process.

6. **Document the incident and learn**: Make sure you have a snippet of paper along with customer name, vape model, date, etc pencil for you, in a log with the procedure, you took. You also have your backup in the form of pictures or videos for later inspection.

7. **Learn from Situations**: Convenience stores follow strict regulation and guidance of health department statutes. Take the incident as an opportunity to learn why it stopped functioning or what kind of fault your convenience store's device may have so that process will not repeat again when similar cases arise.

Remember, customer satisfaction is the greatest objective. The reputation of your store might be impacted on this incident, so friendly behavior helps smooth the way. Keep up the good job being honest and helpful assistant. ![vape-sale-complains](https://i.imgur.com/JYtYgcW.png)

In such a situation, it's important to approach the issue with understanding and professionalism. Here's a step-by-step guide on how you might handle it:

1. **Listen to the Customer**: Start by listening to the customer's complaint. Let them explain what the issue is without interrupting them. This will help them feel heard and valued.

2. **Apologize and Empathize**: Even if the malfunction isn't your fault, apologize for the inconvenience they're experiencing. This shows empathy and understanding.

3. **Inspect the Product**: If possible, ask the customer to show you the problem. This will help you understand whether it's a user error or a product malfunction. Make sure to handle the product with care.

4. **Offer Assistance**: If it's a user error, guide them on how to use the product correctly. If it's a product malfunction, check your store's return or exchange policy.

5. **Implement the Policy**: If the product is indeed faulty, and your store has a return or exchange policy, offer to replace the vape or refund the customer. If there's a warranty, guide them on how they can use it.

6. **Follow Up**: After the issue has been resolved, consider following up with the customer to ensure they're satisfied with the solution. This can help maintain a positive relationship with the customer.
