Last week I purchased Kirby(DS), and Me and My Katamari(PSP) at Border's 50% off sale. This week it dropped to 75%, so I called and asked, "if my games are not opened up, can I return them and get the difference" The manager said "yes".
So today I go down to Borders at Hollywood and Vine. When I walk through I set off the sensors. A loss prevention guy follows me around, asking if I had any DVD or books. I said "no", the only items I was carrying were a wallet, cell phone and keys. He looked at me suspiciously until the alerm went off again. (it went off about 7 times in 20 minutes)
I make a few purchases, then ask the cahier for the difference on the previous purchases. He has to call a manager. The manager comes and informs me, "sorry, all sales are final". I ask, "where does it say that?", and he replies, "it doesn't have to say that. That's the rules". On the back of the receipt is a 30 day return policy; I show him that, and note there is nothing around the games area saying all sales are final.
He tells me ,"I can do what ever I want"; I laugh and think of him gently fucking an elephant.
So I calmly ask for a corporate number. He gives me the number, and then I ask for his name. Then he starts acting weird. He covers up his name tag, turning it around. I ask him again, and he won't give me his name; he then asks me to leave. I say, "man, I can't belive how foolish you're being" and walk away. By that time the LP guy steps forward, and says, "are you calling us names" and gets very close to me (15 inches or so). I stand about a foot over him, and say "If I was, you'd know it."
He then asks me to leave. I call corporate and they can barely belive it. I tell them to have the regional manager review the security tape. They tell me he will.
Now a little about the context: the store is in hollywood, CA, so there are a lot of wierdos in the neighborhood. As for me, I don't think I look like a theif; most people think I look like a cop at 6"5, 235 lbs, and a high and tight cut.
