So I go into work today and when I get there one of my managers tells me that some people were trying to return a computer that was CTO. (CTO is a configure to order computer....basically it's custom made.)
Anyway, they tell that our district manager says no and we can't take it back for one reason or another. The other thing is that the people who are trying to bring it back for their refund have already cut out all the UPC's and sent off their mail-in rebates so they can get that money in addition to their refund.
Basically they would be getting free money and we know it...that's why we don't take back CTO's or any computers that have the UPC's removed on them.
Well anyway, they come in and talk to one manager and they go to the Copy Center and they are talking and calling places trying to see if they can help them out. They call HP even and ask them if they can get a refund and send it in and they say no.
From what I gather because I wasn't listening but watching from a distance, after every last effort was made to return it, the guy (who is deaf) and his two daughters start to get mad. The guy threatens to attack my manager and another employee by making hand gestures. So my manager calls the police and I guess one of his stupid 15 year old daughters gets mad and slams the phone on the counter and storms out cussing.
I am laughing at that because she's just acting like she is tough shit...when in reality she's nothing.
Then the dad gets pissed off and does the same thing and storms out with the other younger daughter crying.
Anyway they just stand in front of the door waiting for the police to show up. So we are just watching to make sure they don't leave. I am standing at the door and then they say I can go to lunch. The hilarious part was when I was walking out...everybody was like "Be careful." and "Good luck."
I just replied "For what? What are they gonna do to me? I have nothing to do with what just happened. I didn't say two words to them at all. So if they want to do something let them do it. See what's gonna happen."
Anyway I leave and ten minutes later I come back after getting food and the guy and his daughter actually go back inside the store and I have no idea what they talked about with my manager. But I did find out they left before the police got there but we got their license plate down and all that.
Anyway just thought it'd be nice to share that since other people have shared their stories of interests at places like this. It was actually pretty funny because their scam didn't even work. But more funny was the dumbass teenage wanna-be thug daughter that was getting pissed.
