"I demand a refund!" the woman in front of me in the check-out line shouted crossly. "How can I possibly succeed in my efforts to crochet if you sell me yarn that splits at the ends?!"
Chill OUT lady, I thought to myself. Doesn't all yarn split at the ends? But I could see that this woman wasn't going to go home with "unacceptable" tools to pursue her hobby. And I could tell that was her hobby, as she wore a rather clumsily crocheted hat, cardigan, and a pair of bulging socks.
"Excuse me, ma'am?" I cautiously inquired, "but perhaps I could check out first, while you resolve this matter? I only have a few items"
"Oh pul-LEEZ," she drawled rather rudely, "NO BUDDING!!!
Whoops, didn't read the actual post first, that was a bit different than a time when *I* felt I was owed a refund. I actually wrote about someone ELSE. Oh well. ;)
Sometimes the batteries here don't work, my success rate is about 50/50. The batteries are sealed and wrapped when I buy them, but when I plop them in my camera or speakers they power down and then die. Sometimes the camera will flash the low battery sign.
I asked for a refund from the store owner, but she just shrugged. So next time I brought my camera in, purchased a new pair and showed her and she kept opening packs until she found one that worked.

It's easier just to buy rechargeables.
The letter arrived
Panic attack
Looked like garnishment
Delightful surprise
It was a check
A tax refund check!

I sent it back, but sadly I didn't get a refund.
