    "No, you may not have it for free."

    I had a customer come through my line and had a roll of tape. He claims to have found it on the ground and asked me if he could have it for free.
    Me: Sorry, sir. I can't do that.
    SC: Why not?
    Me: Its not up to me?
    SWC: Well, I don't see the big deal.
    Me: I can't do it, sir. I am not about to take the risk of getting into trouble.
    He gives me a look.
    Me: Would you like me to call my supervisor over?
    SC: Please do that.
    I do so, and the whole time the guy keeps looking at me like I'm providing bad customer service for not letting him have something for free. My manager came over and told me to let him have it.
    To me, this guy is nothing but a cheap bum who looks for freebies every single opportunity he gets. I sure would like to go into my favorite store and keep anything I find on the ground.

    .... so he found it on the floor inside the shop?

    So what? If it's in the packaging then it's still merchandise
    besides who's to say he didn't put it on the floor to begin with?

                Wow, I'll have to try that one at the car dealer: "Can I have this car for free? I found it on the ground!"

                  Oh darn, I knocked these clothes off the rack, can I have them for free? What about this case of beef, it's a bit dirty now, can I have it for free? People are nuts.

                    Y'know, I might just call up corporate HR and let them know the manager is helping customers steal merchandise from the store.

                    But then again I'm just vindictive like that.

                          We had manager that did stuff like that. They are no longer with the company. Apparently giving merch. away for free or 99% off was the most ethical/legal thing the were doing.

                            Yeah Manager's do that all the time.

                            You're expected to follow policy. We even have stuff printed in writing for customers to see about returns, exchanges, etc and then a manager gives somethng away for free. You end up looking bad just because the manager doesn't want to deal with the SC. Of course the SC returns to the store expecting more free stuff.
