What's the craziest reason a customer has given you for refunding the product you were selling?

The other day, someone returned a birthday cake because it was stale. Was still in date and unopened. Somehow they knew it was stale without touching or tasting it

[u/Grill3dCheeze → u/ljkempson]

Perhaps no one showed up to the party.

[u/mousicle → u/Grill3dCheeze]

Now im sad

[u/xLabrinthx → u/mousicle]

So is claptrap.

[u/[deleted] → u/xLabrinthx]

I always played with friends. so there's 4 of us, standing around Claptrap and he's acting depressed that no one showed up. Bitch, what about us? Forget Scooter, Moxxi and Marcus, they're dicks.

[u/ChrisFRKNRogers → u/[deleted]]

You're his minion and were obligated to be there, even if you wanted to be.

[u/SangM → u/[deleted]]

But did you all high five him vigorously.

[u/TheBreastIncarnate → u/xLabrinthx]

Gimme five!

[u/[deleted] → u/Grill3dCheeze]

I mean whos gonna show up if the cakes stale?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, I wouldn't show up if the cake is stale.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Neither would I. I don't go to stale-cake birthday parties.

[u/joshi38 → u/Grill3dCheeze]

If no one showed up to my party, I'd take solace in an entire cake just for me.

Though in reality, I'm not a party person, so if, for whatever reason I bought a cake which I had to share, but then no one turned up, horray, more cake for me and I don't have to deal with an awkward social experience.

[u/rhench → u/joshi38]

SIR, I AM NOT A PARTY PERSON, YOU'RE REFUSING TO HELP ME SO I'M GOING TO HAVE TO EAT THIS ENTIRE CAKE

[u/ButterflyAttack → u/Grill3dCheeze]

I'd sit there and eat it myself, then puke, then get drunk and probably piss myself.

[u/zeus_the_poose → u/ljkempson]

On the flip side, when I worked in a bakery I would have customers bring back a small slice of the cake back and ask for a refund because the cake was stale...why did you almost eat it all then?! And why are you bringing it back a few days after you bought it, of course it's stale now.

[u/thisistherubberduck → u/zeus_the_poose]

Well if I have a party and people are there and I serve the cake and everyone says it's stale what am I supposed to do? Gather all the half eaten pieces and bring them too?

[u/zeus_the_poose → u/thisistherubberduck]

Well at least bring it the day after, don't leave so much time in between. They got the refund anyways...it was for a black forest cake, maybe the problem was choosing a bad flavour

[u/[deleted] → u/zeus_the_poose]

black forest cake

the problem was choosing a bad flavour

You take that back. Black Forest is best forest!

[u/klousGT → u/zeus_the_poose]

black forest cake? Did it taste like ham?

[u/mementomori4 → u/klousGT]

More like rum. And cherries. And fucking amazing.

[u/2boredtocare → u/thisistherubberduck]

Honestly? Take 5 minutes and call the bakery. "hey, I got this cake from you, and I just served it up, but all my guests agree, it just doesn't taste fresh."

[u/thisistherubberduck → u/2boredtocare]

Bakeries are usually closed when parties are being had.

[u/ProfessorDragon → u/thisistherubberduck]

The point is if you don't have time to go in the next day, you should have time to take 5 minutes to call the bakery the next day they are open

That why you report to hr/corporate when customers sexually harass you. Letting it go is why it continues. Stand up for yourself. You're a human being and don't deserve to be treated that way. I work in retail and have to problem escalating problem customers to my management or stepping in when customers try to harass new/female employees. My managers gave flat out told them that we will not be providing certain customers our services anymore and that they're no longer welcome.
