Sometimes people use shrink wrap to reseal the box before returning making it look like it was never opened. this also can happen on the shipping end of the process, people in the warehouse take the product out shove some crap in the box and reseal it often having access to those little tamper tabs stickers and shrink wrappers.

How much would you care if you're getting paid $7.25 a hour? I suppose e-tailers like Amazon would check, but I imagine your average Wal-Mart employee gives negative fucks.

I was in a Wal*Mart a few days ago and the return line was enormous and there were carts of returns stuffed all around the counter. They probably don't have time to check each thing even if they made a reasonable wage like $8.

Especially post Christmas, there isn't a lot of time even if you cared enough to do it (which many don't). Late December and most of January is gift-return hell in retail. Plus you'll always get that crazy customer who gets pissed that you're checking because they feel like it's an implied accusation of fraud.

This popped up on my Facebookquote:A waiter in Houston put his job on the line and is receiving praise after he told a table he was unwilling to serve them. The waiter, Michael Garcia, was waiting on a family of regulars who have a 5-yr old child (Milo) with down syndrome. Another family he was serving made comments about the noises the child was making so he moved the annoyed party to another table. The waiter then overheard "special needs children need to be special somewhere else," from the table. That's when he informed them he would be unable to serve them. They left the restaurant. Share this if you agree that Michael Garcia has become a hero for standing up for this little boy! There's also a picture so you know it's real!!!

I have definitely returned a shirt before that was super old and didn't come from our store (but that had a tag on it) because I was just running on auto-pilot. I went to go put it away and realized what I had done, and the guy I was working with was just like, "just put it back in the bin, don't say anything". I can assure that no one working the returns desk gives a poo poo.

The poor manager was stuck with trying to appease them. So yes, people do insult disabled people.

People with service dogs should be issued two dogs; your standard retriever/shepard service dog that will calmly do their duty, and a crazy-rear end yorkie or chihuahua that can be stashed in a bag and unleashed to tear up the legs and faces of anyone who makes rude remarks about their owners. I think it would be an effective system to deter assholes.

One time I paid for some fast food, and the cashier handed me back change for a ten. I got super angry, and told the dude to check his register, because I gave him a twenty. He got the manager, and they looked, and told me they couldn't find it. So I left, and was super pissed for a few hours until I found a twenty in my other pocket and realized that I had paid the guy with a ten. Then I felt kind of embarrassed and didn't eat at that place again for a few months. I think I might have been that dude.

He got the manager, and they looked, and told me they couldn't find it. When movie tickets cost $9.75, I handed the cashier a 10. He handed back my change, a quarter... and the same ten. I was really baffled, and was like, "Uh, sir, I'm paying with this," and slid it back to him under the window. He said, "Riiight," and slowly pulled the ten back. I know it was probably just a long day and he was so used to people paying with twenties, but this happened like eleven years ago and it still cracks me up remembering the look on the guy's face. Uh, uh, I mean, he SHOUTED AT ME and INSISTED I need to take the ten back! I refused and he ripped the bill in half right in front of my eyes! I ran away, crying, "That employee... is inhuman!" And then I married the quarter.

One time I was working a register and a guy gave me a 5 and I gave him change and he said "I gave you a twenty" and I said "No you didn't" and he said "Yes I did" and I looked in the fives drawer and there was a 20 there and I decided I should probably have not come into work without having slept in almost 48 hours. I apologised, we did not get married, nobody clapped. Also STDH Mad Libs posted:Also, we've been married for 3 years now. We have a child, pornography!)

Writer Cath posted:Finally, puce will have its time to shine! Oh God, yes. Right between the eyes. With a little banner that says, 'I'm an rear end in a top hat to disabled people'. Ran into some today, in fact. People bitching about how they can't take their dogs into the store, but I can. Well, tell you what, sweetheart. You put months of training into your dog, socializing it until it's inured to traffic, screaming idiots, carts, smells, public restrooms(Mia hates them--she thinks people are disgusting), sitting through dinner and movies, plus taking tests to see if you're ready as a team, and then talk to me. Oh, I almost forgot--have something so very seriously wrong with you that your entire life is dependent on the judgement of a dog. Who, by the way, is accurate over 90% of the time, and is always reliable. Here she is, Christmas shopping for her Poodle family:

I've never seen a service poodle before - could be that some of the arseholes are confused and assume all service dogs are labradors? But I'm sure a lot of them are just dicks, like the people who mutter about me when I request the priority seat on public transport or the tourists I used to deal with on the London Eye who couldn't understand why they had to fold their buggy but someone in a wheelchair wasn't expected to fold their chair
