Give Them A Dress And They’ll Want A Yard
(I sell a dress to a lady and she leaves. As I am coming back from hanging a sign, she returns to the yard sale.)
Customer: “I want to return this dress.”
Me: “This is a yard sale. I don’t take returns.”
Customer: “You don’t have a sign up. You should have a sign that says no returns.”
Me: “I don’t need one. This is a yard sale.”
Customer: *getting angry* “I want to return the dress. I don’t want it anymore!”
Me: “This is a yard sale. I am not a store, so I do not take returns.”
Customer: “That’s dishonest; I’m calling 911!”
(The customer dials 911 on her cell phone and I hear her talking to the dispatcher.)
Customer: “Hello! I’m at a yard sale and they won’t take back my dress!”
