Are you functional?

Very!

Get that reference. .

Minor suckage, had a woman come through my line trying to return something she'd bought "either in 2008 or 2009, I don't remember when."

Naturally, our systems didn't register such an old item, we'd long since stopped carrying it.

Seriously, lady? SERIOUSLY? DOES YOUR BRAIN WORK?



Next story was a bit later.

Don't giggle about the fact you gave me $100 for less than $10. It's not very funny at all.

Good lord, it would never even occur to me to try to return something that was a year or two old! With or without a receipt. Wow.

Commander Data in 1st season STNG episode The Naked Now.

What do I win?

I can do better: had several customers try to return things that were from 2006 and were from a different chain of craft stores.

[bacchinalus]

i can try to top that:

when i worked for a bookstore, the customer tried to claim 'i just got this as a gift for christmas' (2008).

it was a gift receipt

from 2004

so faded that we almost couldn't make it out (we had to hold it up to the light!)

thank GOD they changed the return policy later to 2 weeks with a receipt, and not 'forever if we ever carried this book at some point in the past'

I've completely fallen in love with Data, I swear...

Not Geordi, not Riker, not Worf (who is rather Spartan-like)....but Data, the unfeeling.


The woman in mine didn't have her receipt at all, I think.

Ooch. My aunt is notorious for this. As in, it would not surprise me if there are stores around here that have her mugshot posted in the breakroom I was just at Greenwalls drugstore tonight when I ran into her and her daughter...Aunt was at the cosmetics counter talking with a cashier. Daughter informed me that Aunt was trying to return something she had purchased there six months ago >_>
