Hick went to Walmart on Monday to get mini blinds for Bargain House. He needed seven. Three for the living room, and two for each bedroom. He bought them with our debit card, and took them to Bargain House on Tuesday to install them.
"I got to looking at them shades. We needed two for the big window in the living room. I thought something looked off. When I let down the shade, I seen that four of the ears were broke off. You know, the ends, past the cord that holds it together. I asked Old Buddy, 'Did you break off the ends on one of the shades?' And he said no. He said, 'Look. It ain't even the same color.' They was both white, but one seemed really white, and the other one kind of off.
I had taken the hardware out of the box to hang it. The hardware was closed up in plastic, just like with the other ones. But there was no sign of the broken off ears. Not on the floor, not in the box."
"Somebody returned it! I bet they bought a new shade, and put their old broken one in the box, and took it back with the receipt!"
"They might of. It's the only explanation for the different color, and the broken ends. I'll take it back and exchange it."
Which Hick did, on Tuesday. He was shocked at the procedure.
"I took that broken shade back and showed them. I said I'd just go back and get another one. But they wouldn't let me do that! They gave me a gift card for the amount on the receipt. And I had to go back and get another one, and then use the gift card to pay for it!"
"Yeah... that's how they do returns. They were doing that even when I was going to Walmart. And I haven't been there since 2020."
"So what will they do, credit our debit card?"
"No... they gave you back the money on a that gift card. So we're not out any money. You got it back, and spent it again on the other shade."
We're not out any money. Just a little incovenience for Hick, due to some rumpushole trying (and succeeding) to scam Walmart for a new mini blind.
