Default laminate floor question - wood filler?

I recently have laminate floor installed in my apartment, after the
installation I noticed that some of the boards have gaps ( about the
size of 1- 1.5mm) between them. I talked to the installer and they
replied that it was normal and it happens often. However, the gaps
really bug me. Is there anything I can do to fill the gaps? I
purchased some wood filler from Home Depot in the same color as the
floor. Does anybody know if the wood filler will work on the laminate
floor?


The installer is lazy and is feeding you a line. He did a lousy job.
If you want to fix it yourself pull up the baseboard at the closest end
and use a pull bar to slowly tap the board ends closer together.
