  • Guess who else is a lawyer!!

    Lady comes in, wants a cash refund for something she bought a year ago. Return policy is 30 days, as clearly stated on the back of our receipts. Well, she had no receipt. She had come in the store for refunds multiple times when she still had the receipt, was offered gift cards, checks from the company (since the amount she wanted refunded was more cash than we typically keep in the drawer at one time), and she refused. So she came in yesterday demanding her money back, and dropped the infamous line:

    "I'm a lawyer, I know how to write a letter!"

    I relate the story to my mom (former lawyer, now a judge) later, and you know what she said?

    "She must be a pretty shitty lawyer if she can't read the fine print on the back of a receipt."

    Would you like a Stummies?

        I'm not a lawyer, but I know how to write a letter. I also know the magic words to use, and who to write to. They do get results.

                  I was watching an episode of Judge Judy once and somebody actually did try and sue a store owner for not taking back a dress that the plaintiff bought at her mom and pop store. I will never forget the outcome in which Judge Judy stated that the law in their state and most states (in the US) is in the favor of the stores, they do not have to take anything back at all if they don't want to (not sure if that includes defectives). That's why I always thought it was funny when one of the stores I used to work in went to a no return without receipt policy and people threatened to sue, I KNEW they didn't have a leg to stand on.
