My Bank Takes 5010 Days
(I am chatting online with a representative of a company about a faulty order we just received. They have agreed to send a replacement order and credit back a portion of the original purchase price.)
Representative: “Please allow me five minutes to replace the order.”
Me: “Thank you so much. I really appreciate all your help.”
Representative: “No problem. I have issued a refund of $100 to your credit card on file. This may take 305 business days to reflect on your account.”
Me: “305?”
Representative: “Yes. Please remain in the chat until I have completed the order.”
Me: “305 days?”
Representative: “Yes. Is the shipping address still the same?”
Me: “Yes. So it may take up to a year for us to see the money?!”
Representative: “Oh my gosh I am so sorry! 3-5 days.”
Me: “Haha, oh okay.”
Representative: “I am so sorry.”
Me: “Don’t be; that kind of made my day!”
