Ok, here's a fun story. I am assuming that most of us have the store number and date received on their products somewhere.

Guy tried to return a discman. Yes, it was about a decade ago, but still, a DISCMAN LOL

That's hilarious, talk about a bold strategy. Even if he was successful, how could the $40 or whatever a discman costs be worth the effort and risk? Wild. My favorite was a customer trying to return a couple shirts she bought with price tags from more expensive shirts that she'd also purchased. Apparently Amazon sells a tool that allows you to replace tags and make it look like they're originals. Which might have worked if the logo on the shirt had matched the brand name on the tag..

$40? It was more like $20. But if they were smart, they wouldn't have to steal, or at least not so blatently.

It was bad enough that we had (were supposed to have, anyway) two in stock. But he sold outdated tech that NO ONE was buying, and tried to return it.

I explained that we were missing one off the shelf, and had not sold one of these in YEARS, much less than since we had gotten this on (with a received date) in.

He suggested that he might have bought it at another store in our chain.

I agreed that that was a good counter, except that the store tag told me it was from THIS store.

Needless to say, he left without his refund AND without his product ;)

Anyone else have a good shoplifter denied story?

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
