A local clothing store had a going out of business sale, with their last day a few weeks before Christmas. I was there browsing the slim pickings that remained, when I overheard someone arguing with a cashier.
She wanted a gift receipt for a blouse she was buying, apparently for her daughter, for Christmas. You know, just in case it didn't fit or she didn't like the color and she wanted to return it.
Now, this wasn't a chain where some stores were closing but some stores were staying open. This was a stand-alone local store that WOULD NO LONGER EXIST AFTER THIS DAY. There were "All sales final. No refunds or exchanges." signs everywhere.
The cashier kept trying to explain that a gift receipt would be pointless as the daughter wouldn't be able to return the blouse. She kept saying "We won't be here after today. There won't be anyone to return it to." The woman was actually shocked and indignant that they would "refuse" to accept a return.
They're not "refusing" it. They won't physically be here anymore! Why is that so hard to understand!
