Sooner or later inside our lives, we’ve all experienced a little injustice – a restaurant botching our lunch order, a business not coming back our calls, or a fellow airline passenger squashing us by moving his seat back again – and experienced alone for fear of offending anyone. Whenever we neglect to speak up, however, we turn out shortchanging ourselves. In I Wanted Fries with this, Amy Fish motivates readers to stand up for themselves by complaining efficiently. In her career as a school ombudsman, Fish has about I NEEDED Fries with That: How to Ask for What you would like and Get THE THING YOU NEED dealt with a large number of complaints – some trivial, some serious – and gained actionable insights about what works and what doesn’t. Her recommendations will appeal to anyone who would like to speak up and isn’t sure the place to start, including managers navigating workplace disputes, lovers who argue about the same things over and over, and even somebody with a pal with bad breath. Illustrating her factors with funny real-life tales, Fish reveals pragmatic solutions to redress grievances with civility, credibility, and fairness for everyone included – whether you’re aiming to right the wrongs of the world or just claim the French fries you ordered.
