To think this customer behaved in a weird way?

Today at work I was quite bored so was sorting the books out (horrible job!) So out the corner of my eye notice we have a customer and that my boss is dealing with her. Turns out she has a toy that she says isnt working. No packaging, no proof of purchase, so my boss says he cant do anything. She says "well you might aswell bin it then, it's no use to me"

So anyway I only found all this out after she left and I asked him whether he had tried new batteries, he told me that he asked the customer and she had said that she'd tried them and it still didnt work.

So I thought I'd try them anyway (did I mention I was bored!) because Ive known products in the past to act up in the same way when the batteries are dying.

So I open up the back and it still has the old display batteries inside, I replace them with new ones and it works, perfectly.

So I tell my boss to run after this lady to tell her that her toy does work and she has a right go at him telling him that it doesnt and he wont do anything about it! Confused
She never even came back into the shop to see! Confused Confused

Why would someone do that?

Because she'd worked her way up into a right strop and children never listen to you when they are in the middle of a tantrum...

Perhaps she hated the toy and wanted to tell her children that the shop said it couldn't be fixed!?

She stole it?

HecateQueenOfWitches · 18/02/2011 20:05

that's a good one, ripeberry. maybe she nicked it and wanted cash. I hear that's quite a common trick.

if she just didn't want it, it would have been much more logical to just dump it in a bin and tell the kids the shop couldn't fix it.

why would anyone actually go into the shop so that they could say to the kids they had. That would be bonkers Grin

AmazingBouncingFerret · 18/02/2011 20:10

Yeah my boss reckons she stole it. Either that or bought it from a charity shop for a couple of quid and expected us to do an exchange for something else, no quibble.

Quite a nice toy actually, now would IBU to give it a good wipe over and let DD have it? Wink

Probably after a cash "refund" for something she couldn't prove she bought from you.
