Usage
A dissatisfied Michael Douglas
I saw the film 'The Game' tonight. At some point the character Michael Douglas plays corrects another character for using 'unsatisfied' rather than 'dissatisfeid' the line the actor used was something like, 'We've never had any unsatisfied customers'.
I checked in the dictionary and 'unsatisfied' is there all right. What was Michael's point exactly? I presume these must be a specific use for each. Cheers.

People who played the game were happy with the results. Not only were there no unsatisfied customers, there were no dissatisfied ones.

[nq:1]I'd say an unsatisfied customer is one that is in the process of some transaction that has not yet received satisfaction. A dissatisfied is one that has completed the transaction and was not pleased.[/nq]
I'd say that a dissatisfied customer is one that's had their satisfaction removed.

How, then, would you describe the customer that is in the process of having their satisfaction removed but is not happy with the progress?

To me, 'unsatisfied' gives the impression of wanting more of what you have, while 'dissatisfied' gives the impression of disliking what you have.

Your hunger can be unsatisfied without being dissatisfied.
Unsatisfied means you liked what you got but it wasn't enough.
