Handling complaints isn't as easy for supermarkets as it is 7 for companies such as Procter Gamble and Kraft. The complaint process at the store is decentralized and involves many more people. Every supermarket employee who comes in contact with shoppers is likely at one time or another to be the recipient of a complaint.

A study made for the White House found that when shoppers complained to a store employee, the results were far from satisfactory. Fewer than half of the shoppers felt that their problem was handled properly. What did these shoppers do? More than half of them took their business elsewhere. And that wasn't the end of it. On the average, each told 11 other shoppers of their bad experience.

Clip file for setting up toll free telephone numbers to receive complaints and dispense information. Many stores are keeping caref ul records of complaints 'and periodically reviewing tbem to focus on problem1' areas. And employees who are good "problem solvers" are receiving special recognition. Will this trend continue?" It should. When supermarket shoppers receive the help that they need, 70 percent of them continue to shop at that store.

IaJSl3qi ysuVe Ehsulj.u a All of a supermarket's efforts to attract new customers may be offset by poor customer relations. When a dissatisfied customer decides to shop elsewhere, the supermarket loses $3,100 in annual sales. The White House study indicated that as few as one out of SO dissatisfied customers went to the trouble of complaining. So, one complaint may be the tip of an iceberg that win eventually melt away $155,000 worth of business.

Facts and figures like these are leading supermarkets to become more activist in their approach to customer relations. They are giving their employees more, training in how to handle complaints and' more authority to take prompt and effective action tp solve them. Recent industry surveys show that customer courtesy booths are one of the most popular features in supermarkets.

"But sometimes' it's hard to determine what (action the probation department may take) is best for the individual, family, and community? "Sometimes we have to put the community at the top of our priority of concerns." But getting a youngster to understand that being a good citizen of the community is sometimes moreimportant than his individual wants and desires is sometimes difficult to do, Jessee noted. Both Jessee and Cunningham agree that probation is not a matter of 'big brother' watching. "Probation is a chance for (youngsters) to prove themselves," said Jessee. "It's based entirely on the effort of the individual as to whether be goes straight or to jail.for his doings." Hoosier named to Navy post INDIANAPOLIS (AP) A 39-year-old man has been appointed deputy assistant secretary of the Navy's Reserve Affairs. -Fred Davidson III, of Indianapolis, was named to the position, Navy officials said Friday.

You aren't sentenced to probation. Rather, probation gives you a chance to prove yourself and to prove to society that you can fit in." That assessment of the probation system was made by William Jessee, an Indiana State University senior serving an internship with tne scott County Probation Department this summer. The 22 year old Jessee, a resident of Scottsburg R4, is a 1978 graduate Austin High School and is majoring in criminology at ISU.

During the internship program he is serving under the supervision of Scott County Probation Officer D.K. Cunningham and will be aiding the county probation officer as well as learning about the probation system. "Jessee will certainly have every opportunity to obtain on the job training with the probation department because, according to Cunningham BAhAAl la Allfr fa Aiir hitalAc!

Adults who are placed on probation routinely check in with the department.

Jessee said that currently he has been working with Cunningham processing preliminary personal, social, academic, and employment information, on clients referred to the probation department. He added that, when instructed by the court, he will also assist in developing pre -sentence and pre disposition reports on adult and youthful law offenders. In dealing with youngsters, Jessee said that he has found that he must be yet compassionate in probation." "Sometimes decisions need to be made which, at the moment, are sad but in the long run will benefit the youngster," be added. Cunningham pointed out that with Jessee in his office at nearly all times, the time IhaT the internist has been associated with the county probation officer has served to benefit both parties. "This has and will be a two way street;" said Cunningham.

"I'm benefiting from him as much as he is benefiting from me." While be said that it is still early in his internship tenure and he has not yet been exposed to many court ordered probation cases. Jessee acknowledged that he preferred to counsel with youngsters prior to anv court LB" year." Cunningham estimates that his office will deal with an estimated 80 people placed on probation during the summer. "But we'll have contact with a larger number of people who aren't on probation," siad the officer. The court system isn't the only way clients will show up at the county probation office school officials, police officers, and welfare personnel may also advise the office of individuals which may be potential violators..
