Anybody have any "returns" story?

  One time, I brought this glass baking dish from Zellers.  I made something with this and all of a sudden, the baking dish started to crack on me when I took it out of the oven.  I have never experienced such a thing before with Pyrex.  

  So, I returned the thing, without a receipt, to Zellers.  I brought in the broken glasses and told her that I had purchased it from Zellers (which I did) and that this thing just cracked on me.  Their explanation for that was that there was a hairline crack, which I believe was the case.  They gave me a bit of a hard time because I had no receipt, but they did end up giving me a refund.  That was a long time ago.

My friend groaned to the Safeway worker that the garbage can he bought the week before was now $20 off.  The guy opened the cash register and gave him a $20 bill.  Seriously.  (but this was years ago)

I complained a Safeway about the quality of my last lettuceI bought, they gave me the lettuce in my present order free.  The only returns I have from Christmas go to Costco so I won't have any problems other then line-ups.

The only thing I'm going to return from Xmas is a sweatshirt at Sears.  I have a gift receipt, so there won't be a problem.

I'm BACK.  I had no problem.  I'm pleasantly surprised.  They gave me an in store credit (Winners, which can also be used at Homesense).  I was definitely okay with that, as I shop there a lot.

  I have no Christmas returns.  The little camera was actually a gift I was planning to GIVE as a present.  It looked great in the packaging.  I'm glad I decided to take it out and have a look at it, because it sure wasn't something I would give as a gift.

Pls wish me luck.  The $79 vacuum cleaner I bought at StupidStore TODAY has a defective cord reel assembly.  The cord won't go back in.  At all.  I'm gonna try to exchange it tomorrow.

I'm dreading it.  But since I only bought the thing yesterday, I'm prepared to rant and rave.

I hope you get that return... you could always practice  your spinning hook kicks on them if need be.

Never bothered returning something defective. I just give up and chuck whatever I had outta the door.

They exchanged my vacuum cleaner!!!!  And I went at 6pm, so there was no line-up at Customer Service.

Yay!  You got your return without hassle.

There must have been something wrong in the world for there not to have been a lineup for returns.

What type of vacuum was it if you dont mind me asking?

  I wish I could return this airmattress I bought for this weekend.. brand new so I didnt bother bringing a spare. Got up there, took it out of the package, blew it up, and woke up a few hours later on the  ground.. grr. At least the starfish was still up onthe airmattress beside me.. lol.

$79 Fantom stick vac.  Supposed to be the same power as a full size vac.  Probably is as long as you keep the dirt cup empty.

The automatic cord winder broke the first time I used it. Replacement model is fine- I'm being careful not to pull the cord out too far.  lol
