    diet coke return

    I think I had the most entitled biggest jackass in the history of dumbassness yesterday. I'm in my 7th hour of work,i'm tired and still sick(sinus infection from hell).Well in comes one of the lovely entitled interantional students. (they are always the biggest jackasses).He looks around for like 10 mins and then comes to the counter with a diet coke. I ring him in and gives me a credit card.(f**k I hate credit cards).So I run his card and then it happens.

    Dumbass-DS

    Great candyshop princess-Me

    DS-I want to now return that bottle of pop

    Me-What

    DS-I want to return it,I just wanted to see if my card worked.

    Me-I lost it(7 hours on my feet and I'm sick)

    Me-I'll return but don't you EVER COME INTO THIS UNION AGAIN AND TRY THIS CRAP EVER AGAIN.THIS IS NOT ALLOWED AND I WILL BE TELLING THE OTHER STORES ABOUT YOU.DON"T EVER TRY IT THERE AGAIN!!!!

    DS-???????????

    He ducked his dumbass tail and ran away.

    What the hell do people think I'm their personal atm or credit card customer service.

    He couldn't just call the credit card company to see if it worked....

        I would have told him to go to hell. With the fees we pay I wouldn't even let him use his card for a mere soda purchase let alone entertain his stupidity.

          Return a bottle of soda? I see no reason why he couldn't have just drank it. I would have returned it right over his head (sans actual bottle). Get a cash advance if he wants to see if the card works, sheesh (people that dumb deserve to pay the fees).

          I hated people at the game store who would use a CC for a soda/snack purchase. It's only $1.25! Without fail they would then (after gaming downstairs) buy about $50 or more worth of miniatures and pay with cash

          I don't quite get why people would use cards for such small amounts anyway. A few times I've used my CC for a $10-$20 purchase, but that was at times when I wanted to save what cash I had until I got paid (as well as it being an acceptable amount for plastic).

            Quite a few people rarely carry cash anymore.... I use my CC or debit card for nearly everything.

            However, I've never made a purchase just to turn around and request a return/refund. It's not like you're going to actually get the cash. It goes right back on the card.

            As far as the insane fees that stores get charged for accepting CC, I agree that is a scheme. Maybe one day, government will step in and say "This is silly, you're charging interest for the customer, fees on the merchant, and on top of that you get interest on the few day/weeks before the money actually gets moved around."
            I've lost my mind ages ago. If you find it, please hide it.

              My Mom had to exchange a bottle of soda once. Remember when Sprite came out with the different flavours and was sweetened with Splenda? Yeah, she wound up with a bad bottle somehow, it tasted horrible.

              She took it back to the store (it was at a gas station and we had just gotten back out to the car at this point) and told the cashier it tasted funny, who then commented that it didn't look the right colour either. Mom was just going to buy another bottle and let the clerk keep that one but the clerk let her have the new bottle (same soda, just a different bottle) for free.



              Sorry Dreamstalker. I'm one of those people who use a card (generally my debit card) for small purchases. It's because I find I buy less with my card then if I have cash on me.

                I use my card to avoid messing with change and potentially getting shortchanged (mainly at fast food places).. lately though I try to carry some change in my car, though if I can't quickly come up with the proper change I'll just use the card.

                  I carry a certain amount of cash on me, but I keep it for emergencies and (occasionally) small things like snacks. The rest goes on the debit card, and I haven't ben refused it simply because the amount was too small. But debit card merchant fees are probably less than CC fees.

                    I never carry cash if I can help it. I use my debit card for everything.

                      Ugh, couldn't he just bought something he might need, like a pen or paper or something he could eat latter? I guess the guy wasn't thinking how inconvienent it would be for you to refund the money.

                        Slight possibility...
                        It may have been a stolen/lost credit card, and he wanted to see if it had been shut off by the owner yet.
                        Since so often the cards are not signed, or the customer swipes them him/her self, the clerk will not know that the card does not belong to the customer.

                        As soon as the thief/findee knows the card is still good, it's gung-ho, off to the store that carries the really expensive stuff...before the card's owner knows the card is missing.

                        Yes, I see the bad in all situations...sigh.

                          That's why I thought -- of course at that point I'd of said "I need to see the card for a refund " to check for any potential problems and maybe ask for ID on top of it.

                          Strange though.... putting something really cheap on the card that you'd even normally consume to ask for it to be refunded as a credit card check.... Granted I bought a small thing with a credit card before (like if I knew I was going somewhere and just got the card) just to make sure it worked, but I also bought something I wanted.

                            I agree that returning the bottle was annoying, inconvenient and pretty obnoxious. Also, based on the post, it sounds like processing credit cards is quite the hassle at that store.

                            But was it necessary to behave so rudely? It sounded like anger was there from the onset and the OP was angry at the customer for being...well, a customer. A firm but civil response would have been appropriate. Lashing out at someone who was otherwise polite and (possibly) ignorant just doesn't seem right

                              Wow. Their is a 800 number on back of they cad where someone can answer that for you.

                              If it is a small store I generally try to pay cash if it sis small order, but a larger store I will be more temped to use a CC.
