  • "Yeah yeah."

    This still perplexes me to this day.

    So this woman comes in, returning a book. Says it was a gift, and it has no price. I find the price, and tell her she can either get store credit or do an exchange. She says "Yeah Yeah," and then hands me a Return Gift card. "Here's my card." I punch it into the computer, tell her the ammount on the card. I ask her "Are your gonna look?" and she replies "Yeah yeah.' She leaves counter, I notice her looking at the impluse items, so I focus on other things.

    MOD later is cleaning up the front, and she asks me about the book I had put onto the side. It's about three hours later. The woman has not come back. I'm the only person at the register for the 3 hours, and the woman never came back.

    So the store has an unaccounted and unclaimed $15 Travel Book (We double checked just in case it was stolen from our location; thank goddess it wasn't), and some woman out there thought I gave her credit onto the RGC.

      I dunno, you'd think that you'd want to make sure you get a $15 credit on something you got for free while going behind the gift-givers back.

        So she thought you did the refund and you thought she was shopping for an exchange? oops.

        I have, once or twice, had someone bring something for an exchange, leave it with me to shop, and never come back. One of them even had the receipt which I kept with the book at my register. I wonder if they remembered later and felt too dumb to come back and admit they forgot...

          If I was at a bookstore, you can bet anything that I WILL stay and look around until I find something I like. Bookstores are my favorite place to go. People these days....>_>

            It's all quite amusing now, but I pity you in a couple of days (or weeks, or months) when the customer figures out what has happened and comes back letting rip at how you ripped her off.

              No paper trail, and no security cameras, so it'll be kinda hard for her to prove it.

              Gotta let the manager figure that one out.
