She had *one* thing in her cart: a huge Rubbermaid storage container. You know, one of those big green ones. It had its lid on, closed tight. She tilts it a little so I can scan it. “Just this!” she says.Her face turned to a frown but she lifted the lid.100% truth she said: “How did *that* stuff get in there?! I didn’t put anything in there!”“Wait! I *do* want some of that.” She picked out a couple of makeup items from the huge haul.
I ask her where she sees a chip, and she points to a point on the glass. I look at it, take a picture of it and save it on my tablet, and then proceed to tell her that the glass is not chipped. She says I need to write in my work order that the glass was chipped during install. I tell her no. She says she won't sign for it unless I write it, so I tell her ok and I call my supervisor. I document everything that happened.
As soon as they left I sent the picture to our other locations in the area to be on watch for this f*****g b******t artist.It’s as if they believe the manager is an omnipresent being floating on some far-away cloud, whom none of the employees have never met, much less communicated with. There has to be some sort of cognitive impairment to think the store manager they spoke with to ok the return wouldn’t be on premises to confirm such.
There is one caveat to this policy that I should mentioned: You're only allowed to do take advantage of the money back guarantee ONCE within a twelve month period. So the repair guy has a clipboard with the quote and asks the doctor to sign the paper and he can get it fixed right away. The doctor freaked out saying he needs to get the thing fixed and he won't sign anything until its repaired.
No one had any reason to throw away the quote aside from the doctor if he planned on not paying the bill. The paper trail was the only thing that could prove it and he waited for the repairman to turn his back and he destroyed the quote. Apparently after reviewing the CCTV a van pulled up, a load of children ran out of it into the various businesses. 4 or 5 of them fell for the fake notes.
Delivery driver here, he gave me 2 rolls of loonies to cover a 45$ pizza. He skimmed 3$ off each of them so I had to pay out of pocket for part of it. I don't take cash at that house anymore.I would slowly stand there and count all of them, and not give him the pizza until I was sure he paid properly.
"My kids gave me a $100 gift card and I lost both the card and the receipt. How should I go about redeeming it?"I'm a mortgage broker and deal with a lot of people trying to swindle me so they can borrow more.
Some time ago - working in a large liquor shop - I had a customer present a bottle of Penfolds Bin 798 Shiraz - that scanned for $3.99...and showed up as a 185ml cleanskin chardonnay on the screen. This happened twice more over the next year. Not sure if it was the same guy or not but they didn’t get free food any of the rest of the time.
PS- it was a s****y Keurig machine, the kind you can pick up for $39 at Walmart. My friend had the same model, it died in less than a year. Sad trombone noise.There was a scam where someone would come in and hand me a receipt and say something like I had to get dry cleaning done on my uniform because someone spilled on it last time I was here. Your boss said you would pay for it. The same people tried it multiple times.
