    Yep I used to work at customer service desk, some people will try anything. The worst I had was a man came in to complain that his girlfriend had bought the wrong pack size of pregnancy test kits - she had bought a single instead of a double pack. She had used the single test, despite this he wanted to return it and exchange it for a double - he genuinely couldn't see what the problem was, got very irate!


    So glad I don't work in retail anymore!

    Situations like this <sigh>....take the pi$$

    Are you in retail and would the supplier not have taken it back due to its original fault?

    Seems a bit narrow minded by yourself if they could because you have effectively lost a customer.

    Who would want richardheads like that as a customer? I'd be more than happy to let them use my competitors, rather than trash my stock and then expect me to bend over.

    Why should a retailer refund an item that the buyer has broken ? where would it end ?

    but as Takeaway_Addict says by not doing as the customer wanted you have most likely lost that customer for ever.

    Did it bother you, the customer i turned away with a flea in his ear never bothered me as i knew i was in the right

    Ahhh. Sarcasm. Got it eventually...:rotfl:
