    Your store is run by idiots. When someone uses a coupon, then returns the item, they should only be receiving back the actual CASH they spent. not the amount of the coupon as they didn't PAY for that.

      You need to go to HR about the threatening customer. That should be grounds for a perma-ban at any store, for worker safety reasons.
      Seconded. You should not have to deal with that, ever.

      And your store's return policy is ridiculous. You already know that, but it bears repeating.

        It's sad how often I have to explain this to customers.

        "But those shoes cost $20!"

        "But you used a coupon, so you only paid $15. I can't give you back money you didn't spend."

        "Then I want my coupon back."

        "......... You purchased these shoes a month ago, even if I still had the coupon, it would already be expired"

          Mine too.

          This happens ALL THE FUCKING TIME with our loyalty coupons.

          Customer spends enough money to use the coupon and uses their coupon. Customer returns part of their purchase later. As this means they've now spent less than the coupon requires, they want their coupon back. Even though it's torn up and long gone.

          So we just give them the amount of the coupon on a gift card (usually $10). Management's rationale is "we're not going to lose a customer over $10."

              Actually I can agree with that for loyalty rewards that spend as money, or other vouchers they had to spend $XX to get, and come back another time to use. They should receive compensation for it in a form that is spent the same way, like a loadable gift card for the store.
