why do stores put "Returned Items" back on the shelf without checkin them first??
 

i just got back from Best Buy. i was lookin for some Cordless Headphones.

i had some 110 lb geek tell me that "This is top of the line" cordless headphones......talked to me a little about it and then handed me the box.

Get home........excited about my purchase, open the box.....HALF OF THE FUCKIN PARTS ARE MISSING!!!!!!!!! :BangBang:

WHY ohhhhh WHYYYYYY do stores take returns, and ASSUME that everything is there, then just put it back on the shelf?????

does that ever happen to you??? :helpme

Fry's is like that too! I bought 5.1 surround speakers for my computer and the power supply didn't work for the thing, and I found out it was a returned item.

Fucking stores need to check this shit out, I get tired of taking the shit back.

Fuck Fry'... 2/3rd's of the stuff have those fucking stickers on them... :BangBang:

Trying to find my thread with the search ... sec

they are getting sued right now cauz of this .

you better hope he didn't use those headphones for sexual pleasure

I would suggest you get back to them really mad and come with the document of oahio suing them ... then threaten them to give you a free-fucking-phone and pay your gas and time

good ole american work ethic for ya

damn those underpaid lazy employees LOL

i will. :glugglug

hey, thanks for that link, i was lookin for that thread :thumbsup

When I worked at Sears during college we would get stuff returned all the fucking time.

We once sold a returned vcr to a new customer and he came back like 2 hours later to let us know that the vcr had a porno tape in it that the old customer forgot to remove. LOL!

Pretty fucking funny stuff!

DH

cuz they don't wanna waste the manpower to do that.

I definitly hate that. When I was in HS, I was working at Circuit City and we did this constantly. :ak47:

Another time one of the older associates took back a camcorder (that was reported malfunctioning) and didn't check the box.

He exchanged the camcorder for the same camcorder just a new one. Off the customer went...

the old sales associate opened the box 15 minutes later and the only thing in the box was a brick!!! LOL!

DH

LOL

LOL, serves the store right for not checking. That'll teach them to check whats in the box next time!

I could tell you the wildest stories about Sears!

It was a great company to work for, just had some super dumb people working for it. LOL!

DH

We used to have guys bring in their broken Playstations and complain they didn't work when they bought it. We would refund it no questions asked.

9 times out of 10 the playstation was like 4 years old and wasn't even sold by Sears.

I was an assistant manager at a womans clothing store and people would bring nasty shit back, but we would have to take it back.


I would get pissed, they would buy something on Fri. to go out in and Sun. they would bring it back. We would send it to home office.



:glugglug

thats still the easiest thing to do. most stores need the tags still on, so just jump on ebay and buy one of those tag thingys so you can buy clothes, take the tag off, go out in it, then put the tags back on.

i also worked at a dept store when i was young and people would bring back clothes that just REAKED of smoke and stains on the shirt....but, we had to take it back.

OMG! lol i hope SEARS has changed since then :1orglaugh

Oh it was awful!

We once had a family bring back a $2000 home theatre system they had for over a year. The reason for bringing it back?

They were moving out of the country! :1orglaugh

We're not a rental company here people!!!

DH

Yep, if we didn't take it back they would come when the district manager was there and she would take ANY THING back. I had a fight with a girl who wanted to bring a boodysuit back and it was NASTY, she told me "Smell it I didn't ware it". LMFAO


Like I was going to smell it!


:1orglaugh

try other stores...

you worked for sears in '99?

I was sold an expensive cellphone (bought it outright, not on a plan) and was pretty pissed off to find that half the accessories were already opened, and someone had filled out the warranty card.

I took it back 10 minutes after I purchased it. The manager looked pissed too, made me sign some piece of paper to say I had received the goods. Fuck that: I paid RRP, I expect new goods. He has no right to be pissed.

I made sure I checked that the ID numbers on the box and the handset label matched up before I signed, just in case they'd swapped the used handset into a box with new accessories. :mad:

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Between the ages of around 20 and 23 I believe... I am 28 now so yeah I guess around 99.

DH

I always peek in the box when I buy something. It's usually easy to figure out if things have been repacked.

Some guy was taking nudie pics of himself with digi cams and returning them to a local dept store in my area. Apparently someone who bought a camera found them and complained, it was in the newspaper. :1orglaugh

hahaha thats really hillarious

Aren;t they getting sued over doing this now?

That sucks..but don't blame the poor guy who sold it to you. Most likely he was just doing his job and wasn't aware that there were parts missing. It seems he took time to at leats explain the product to you.

well, they're just to lazy to do checking things . . .

did you at least get a mail in rebate! in only 4 months after filling out 19 forms, with photocopied ID, handwritten letter from the president of the company verifying purchase, picture of cashier, and original receipt, you will get a check for $8.00 in the mail.
