Hot take: working the returns desk at a department store in 2004 was easier than dealing with online return scams today

I still remember a lady trying to return a vacuum cleaner that was obviously 15 years old and caked in dust, and when I told her no she just shrugged and left without throwing a fit, but last month I had a customer scream at me for 20 minutes because her 'new' laptop had clearly been dropped and she wanted a full refund even after I showed her the damage on camera.

That laptop story hits hard. Do you think stores are actually making it worse by training customers to expect a refund no matter what?

Does that mean we should start saying no more often?
