Uhhhh, five years?
By Lynn, on February 8th, 2008
Before work today, I had to go into a large department store to return something. It was actually part of one of my children’s Christmas presents and was a pretty costly item. The item hasn’t worked since day one, but we tried to deal with the manufacturer as was suggested in all the paperwork that came with the item. The problems with the item were never resolved. So here it’s been about six weeks since the purchase, I have my receipt, as well as confirmation numbers from conversations with the manufacturer and I need to get my money back. It was no problem to return it. The store was very nice about it given the history of the product. Still, here I was feeling bad about having to return something.
Boy was I stunned at the man who came in behind me. He had an electronic item that he had apparently had for five years and he wanted to return it!! Five years.
Ummm, that doesn’t even make sense to me. He was politely informed that the return policy was 90 days. He was adament, however, that his money be refunded. As I was leaving, management was being called in. Wow.
Five years.

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool. The Players

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884
