Things Change

I went to Target the other day. I bought a shirt. I tried on said shirt at home and realized I didn’t like it all that much. I also bought a giant rainbow umbrella on a separate occasion. Then I realized that I couldn’t actually bring it back to Chile with me so why did I buy it? I was starting to feel like a hoarder, stocking up on things that I didn’t actually need or want so I wanted to return both. I could only find the receipt for the umbrella.

So when I approached the customer service desk at Target, I said, “I need to return these. I have the receipt for the umbrella but not the shirt so I guess you’ll have to give me store credit.” She replied, “Did you pay for it on a credit card? If so I can look the purchase up and refund the amount to your card.”

My jaw hit the floor. When did life become so convenient?!?

I said, “NO WAY! That is SO cool! I can’t believe you can do that!”

…and the cashier asked, “Has it been a while since you’ve shopped at Target?”

I answered, “Well I shop here whenever I’m in the States but I live in a different country so I guess you could say I’m not a regular.”

She answered, “Because we’ve been able to do this since I started working here. That was more than two years ago.”

Whatever. My mind was still boggled by this new invention. It’s new to me :)

  1. Meanwhile, the best you’ll get in Chile is store credit, even if you have the receipts. Great customer service…

  4. That happened to me a little while ago and I was also floored. I kept thinking they would think I was lying and then I would go to jail for accepting the money or something like that at least. Yeh, living in South America made me really paranoid.
