I went in a charity shop yesterday and saw a set of figurines, 6 of them for £20.
I asked if I could buy 2 of them separately and the lady said no, they're a set. Fair enough. I had a few other bits to get from other shops, so left without them.
Whilst shopping I googled the figures hoping to get them from ebay or somewhere, as I only liked 2 of them. Turns out they end up at around 10/12 quid individually with postage anyways so 20 for 6 was very good.
I went back in and asked for the set. I paid the £20 and said to the lady "I only really want these 2, you can keep the other 4"
She told me they come as a set and you cannot but them individually.
I said I'm not asking to buy them individually, I'm paying the full price but only taking 2.
She told me I wasn't allowed to do that.
I said I'm keeping 2 and donating back the other 4 and that she could sell them as a set of 4.
She was adamant I want allowed to do that and made me take all 6 of them :s
I walked into the charity shop 2 doors down and donated the 4 I didn't want.
AIBU to think the whole things was just ridiculous?
She was really huffy and abrupt with me about it, like I was trying to rip them off or break the sacred rules or something!
