(A customer comes in to return a powerhorn. We’re often wary of these returns, as customers often put them under their car to increase their radio’s volume and blow them out within a day.)
Customer: “I don’t need this. I didn’t open it.”
Coworker: “Okay, let me take a look at it…”
(The packaging HAS been opened, but it still might not be a big deal. However, my coworker finds a chicken bone in the box.)
Coworker: “Ma’am, I think you left something in here.”
Customer: “Oh! That’s my lunch!”
Coworker: “You said you didn’t open it?”
Customer: “Yeah.”
Coworker: “But there’s a chicken bone in the box. And the wiring has been cut. And the unit is cracked.”
Customer: “It CAME like that.”
Coworker: “With a chicken bone in the box?!”
Customer: “YEAH!”
