Why retail jobs suck sometimes

While I was at Tent Trails paying for my first fancy (as in high-tech) winter coat, I was witness to an age-old battle between retail employee and customer.

The dreaded return-of-used-goods.

This Hacidic Jewish man (I'm not trying to stereotype here) was going to purchase some sort of a ski mask type face covering. He wanted to know if he could return it after wearing it. The woman at the register kept telling him that she could not resell an item that has already been used.

I had to bite my tongue on my comment: "If I were buying a ski mask, I wouldn't want one that was drooled on and liberally sprinkled with beard hairs."

Eeeuw.
