Putting Themselves Into A Sticky Spot

Customer: “I’d like to return this game.”

(He hands me a sports title, which is several years old.)

Me: “I’m sorry, sir, but we don’t accept open game returns, particularly games purchased at a competing store.”

Customer: “I purchased the d*** thing here!”

Me: “I’m afraid you didn’t. We don’t open games and put [competing company]’s stickers on the cases.”

Customer: “Well, why the f*** not?”
