Watercooler nightmare

[darkcrimsongoth]

This didn't happen to me, but it happened to my sister....(some details might be a little bit fuzzy.)

My sister was at work on refunds, when a lady came up with a 40 litre water cooler. It was filled with water. She said she wanted a refund and wanted it for the same price she paid for it, which was about $100 dollars.

But, the only reason she paid $100 dollars in the first place was because the cooler was already marked down from $150 dollars. So in the end, they gave her the refund. So my sister and the supervisors had to empty this water cooler for about 20 minutes.....

The reason the lady brought it back? It was flooding her kitchen....

This is the reason you don't buy marked down stock........

Why didn't she empty it before she brought it back? I am not so naive as to believe that she would do it for the returns counter staff, but why would she want to haul something that damn heavy back to the store?
None too bright, that one.

Ummm...If it had flooded her kitchen, would it not have been empty when she brought it back?

Try not to think too hard about why customers do the stupid things that they do. You'll burn your brain out and end up like them.

Unless it was Mysty hauling it in, it could not have been full. 40 liters is about 10 gallons, would weigh about 80 pounds (36.36 kilos) plus the weight of the cooler itself.

Still...who in their right mind would NOT empty it first???

(Note: SCs are never in their right minds! )

I wasn't there, it was my sister doing the refunds. I didn't see it, but that's what she told me. Maybe the water cooler got turned off when it was half full?

Don't think and/or look for logic. Just enjoy the stupidity.

Your brain cells will thank you.
