So it's holiday season and SCs are on their WORST behavior. Sooo, let's share some return stories!
*Sets scene: It is Fly's first holiday season working retail. Young Fly is naive. Fly is currently on register duty.*
*Grandma approaches in a hissy way.*
Sucky grandma: I need to return these.
*slams large shopping back on counter*
Fly: Oh, sure! I'll enter in your receipt info and get this started right away!
SG: Okay.
Fly: Is there a reason for this return? Were the products unsatisfactory? *standard ??s*
SG: No, everything was great. It's just my son-in-law decided he won't take my grandkids to see me this Christmas. So I'm returning all my grandkids' presents.
NOTE: This sounds like something Fly's grandmother would do. Fly hates Grandma Fly because she is a manipulative wretch who does things like this. Fly feels bad for SG and wants to remedy the situation.
Fly: I'm sorry to hear that, have you considered shipping?
SG: No, they live in *European country*. I'm not paying the expensive shipping. Besides, if I can't see my grandkids, I'm not getting them presents.
Fly:
NOTE: SG was very nicely dressed in a fur coat, had a gold AmEx card, and was returning hundreds of dollars of merchandise. I do not think SG was living just off her social security. I'd suggested she save the items for when her grandkids come next because some of them were special edition items that had limited availability but she said no.
We do the return, she gets her money back on her AmEx. Their no good father, ruining Christmas for this poor granny. Our company isn't international and from our chit-chat, I gathered that her grandkids really liked our things. Logistically this is probably one of her grandkids' few chances to get our exclusive products. The company does not do business in the country they live in. SG seemed really smug about it too. Like she won. When I was sorting the returns, I realized that a lot of the tags had already been removed, packaging was messed up. So some of it was unsellable or was going to require a visit to the stockroom to be reprocessed/repackaged/steamed. It took me awhile to get all the returns sorted.
What a . Returns like that piss me off.
