CAGiversary!
I just got back from a frustrating experience at the local EB Games, and wondered if anyone else had this trouble, or if maybe an EB Games/GameStop employee can chime in.
A friend of mine who lives out of state gave me a copy of Chulip for my birthday. I already have it. Luckily, my friend also included the receipt when they sent me the game, so I figured I'd get my money back and get another game.
The clerk scanned the receipt and the game and said, "You'll get $31.79 back." (That's the original price plus 6% PA sales tax.) However, my friend lives in Alabama, which charges 9% sales tax, so they paid $32.69. I pointed this out to the clerk and he kind of shrugged his shoulders and said that only the manager could fix it and they weren't in. So, I told him to give me the game and my receipt back, put the more expensive game I was going to buy back on the shelf and left.
I know it's only 90 cents, but that really made me angry that they couldn't do a simple return without getting it right. What's happening to all of that extra sales tax they're collecting in instances like this?
Has anyone else run into this?
