    "Yes, BUT..."

    I just remembered this little gem. Guess it was hidden in one of the dusty corners of my mind....

    Anyway, I recall a lady bringing some merchandise back for a refund. This was back in the summer months and I live in Texas where it isn't unusual for the temp to hit 100+.
    I was pulling things out of the bag when I grabbed something...odd. Turns out it was a candle that she'd decided not to keep, and it had melted.
    I held it up for her to see and her non-chalant reply was: "Oh, I left the bag in the car. It must have melted."
    Yeah, well, welcome to Planet Duh.
    And here's the punchline...(you see this coming)...
    She still expected to get a full refund for the candle soup.
    "I have a receipt."
    "Yes, BUT..."
    "The candle wasn't used."
    "Yes, BUT..."

    Lucky for her, the candle was wrapped very well and didn't leak out onto the rest of the items in the bag. And she DIDN'T get a refund for it.
    Sometimes there is justice in the world of retail.

    The argument there is simple and straightforward:

    *) You bought a candle
    *) Your recepit says "candle"
    *) Thus, you need to return a candle.

    This... is not a candle anymore. It doesn't counts as one

    This.... is an ex-candle

      Too bad we can't make SC's ex-homo sapiens (calling them humans or people just didn't sound right)...

            I'm guessing this particular SC didn't do too well in Chemistry class.

              I love that sketch! My friends and I performed that one in high school drama club.

              I can't believe that lady expected a refund...
