It was difficult to explain why this should not be done. She's from Eastern Europe, with English as a fourth language, she returns about 90 percent of everything she buys that isn't perishable. SHe doesn't have the cultural experience that says 'don't stiff the charity." But once I explained to her finally that Goodwill wasn't just a greedy for-profit company that took free stuff from suckers to resell for cash, she grudgingly agreed not to attempt a return.<br />Point is, yeah, you need the sign. Not that it would have stopped her if she'd been determined to do it, but not everyone packs so much sheer bloodymindedness into a small package.Longstreet63noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019205786952575350.post-36770617755710131922010-10-13T19:39:17.191-04:002010-10-13T19:39:17.191-04:00haha oh gosh...haha oh gosh...Krystal/Villagehttp://www.thelovelylist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019205786952575350.post-31317694834197718522010-10-13T19:06:36.286-04:002010-10-13T19:06:36.286-04:00Wouldn't it be embarrassing to ask for you 50 ...Wouldn't it be embarrassing to ask for you 50 cents back?

It is a size XXL and gold and I thought for sure he would never guess about it not being a man's shirt.... he knew instantly. It was the way shirt buttons work that foiled me. So I'm stuck with a gold lamé disco shirt that soooo doesn't fit me and I can't return it and I now just stare at it resentfully whenever I'm in my closet. Three dollars... wasted.Traci Arbiosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019205786952575350.post-7780156112569584322010-10-11T18:00:59.887-04:002010-10-11T18:00:59.887-04:00I would never even THINK of returning anything to ...I would never even THINK of returning anything to the Goodwill. I mean, it's THE GOODWILL. If I do return anything, I just re-donate it.<br /><br />I'd love to see what people try and return. Or maybe, I'd be totally traumatized.skinny_dipnoreply@blogger.com
