  • You canNOT return that!

    This happened back in the days when I was working customer service on a regular basis.

    A girl who I've had problems with before for trying to return items such as worn underwear and bras came up to my counter carrying something in a bag. Now, every time she's returned things before, I'd call a super and make sure I could take back something nasty like that, and the answer was always yes, but claims it out.

    So anway this girl started to unwrap the thing in the bag and pulled it out. It was a used pregnancy test! She started to set the thing on the counter. Now, I don't even like shoes that have been worn on my counter, so I freaked out over this. The conversation went as follows.

    Me: "Don't put that thing on there!" I was too shocked to be polite about this.

    SC: *Looks surprised, but didn't put it on my counter* "I need to return this."

    Me: "We don't return those."

    SC: "You don't? Can you get a manager?"

    Me: "No, we don't return those. You need to contact the company if you have a problem."

    The customer left after that, but my gosh, I swear she would return a condom if she got pregnant. I didn't ask what was wrong with it, and frankly, I didn't care at the time. Looking back, however, I'd like to know why she would do that.

    That is quite disturbing. It's like trying to return a depends saying it didn't work. Gross. I can't believe she didn't see what was so wrong with that... Yikes.

      You must have some SERIOUS cojones to try and return something like that! Either that, or her logic circuit is fried...

          sadly i had the same thing happen to me. This young women (early to mid 20's) came with a used pregnacy test trying to get a return. It was Gross.
          Luckly the supervioser never took it back

          but they have made me take back such gross things as:
          - used underwear
          - clothes that were used and you could see stains on it
          - bedsheets with "hair" all over it
          - rugs that are so dirty the manager told use to use bags when touching them
          - 1/2 eaten bottle of food that was over 2 months old
          - pretty much everything that has been used.

            If memory serves, Ree had someone return a used pregnancy test in a huff - it was thrown onto the counter and splashed.

                I had a girl try and return some condoms once...not used thankfully. Reason? Her BF bought the "Magnums" and she claimed they were too big. Whats funny is she had dragged the poor little guy along to the store with her. I wanted to say maybe you just need a new BF...here's my #
                But since I valued my job(at the time)...I called the MOD and she told me to take them back..although as soon as she left we laughed so hard we cried.

                But a used pregnancy test? Wow. A new low.

                    Man, that's sick. You really have to have balls/ovaries of steel to pull stuff like off.

                          I'm with wagegoth on this one. Lets hope for the sake of the future of humanity that the test was negative!

                            With our luck it's probably positive. But damn that is nasty,we had a person try and return a used diabetes testing kit that had blood in it. Apparantly they've tried it before this time too.

                              She got a positive (preggers) result when she couldn't possibly be pregnant?
