Recent similar experience: was given a pair of running shorts as a gift. They didn't fit. Took them back to $BIGOUTDOORSTORE along with a printout of the receipt from their online store. Did not ask for cash refund. Did not ask for refund on the card that was used for the purchase. Asked for a store credit so that I could just buy something else, maybe shorts, maybe a shirt.
They demanded a driver's license. I asked why. They said "because the online store isn't really us". I said that the online store operates on their web site with their name and bills credit cards with their name and ships with their name on the box so this is hardly my problem is it? Then they said "for your protection". I said that I don't need the kind of protection that invades my privacy. Then they said "for our protection" and I pointed (a) that if my goal here was to defraud them of $32 that I was doing a damn poor job of it *since I was handing them the original merchandise with their tags still on it* and (b) that if I was going to trouble myself to defraud them, that I wouldn't bother for anything less than seven or eight figures. And so on. ---Rsk _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
