  • Can I Smell that Rug?

    So, I'm working on the customer service desk today doing some returns, it was actually a good day, no SCs yet. that is until i had the smelly rug lady.

    She came without a receipt and said she had gotten A MONTH AGO as a gift and she put it down in her house and now it started to smell. She then looks and me and says "can i go down into the housewears dept and smell all your rugs?" she was dead serious. I told her she could go smell them, and off she went. While she was gone (a good 20 minutes or so) another lady, with her receipt, had retuned a rug because it was too big size wise. The Smelly rug lady showed up again, "i smelt all the rugs down there, but none smell like mine, can i smell the one that lady just retuned?" That was the point where i couldn't keep a straight face anymore, as she took the retuned rug and buried her face in it.

    Since she had the "smelly one" in the store she demanded a return. Our policy is with a receipt it will be the last sale price (in this case the rug regular $119.97 was on for $40.00) on a gift card. She looked at me like i had 10 heads, and left saying "$40.00 that's crazy...I'll just go home and vacuum it...and I'm never shopping here again" .

    Er.... Let me get this straight: $40 for the rug is crazy, yet she was sniffing all the rugs. Uh, anyone else see the irony here?

      So her rug smells funny after a month and vacuuming it is the SECOND thing she thinks of?

      I'm really glad she wasn't trying to return a toilet.

          Well, the rugs we get at my store do smell when they come out of the box.

          They smell kind of like vinegar. Must be something in the rubber backing.

          Not that I put my nose up to the box and take a big old whiff. It can be kind of a strong smell under the right conditions.

            Depends on how they attached the fabric to the backing. If there was any glue involved, no....

              Glue is not so potent. you have to capture the vapours from a freshly opened can in a bag or similar and breathe them... Old glue will not have the same effect.

                    Did the second customer return the rug have a kind of look on her face during the viewing of rug fiber inhalation?
