This is a question Tightwads

There's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.

Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

Actually
I don't mean to be anal, althoughI am about to be anyway, but I work closely with the sales of goods act, and if the product fits any of the following:


It was not 'as described'

It was not 'of satisfactory quality'

It was not 'fit for purpose'


Then she had every right to her money back, regardless of whether it was a sale item or not. 100's of stores do successfully get away with strange variations on that, but only because people don't challenge them.

That said, if it didn't fit any of the above, then your or any other stores are under no obligation to do anything at all. A lot do, because its good PR, but they don't have to.

None of that changes the fact that she sounds like a right cow either.

Yeah
She has no rights no matter what price she paid for it if that's the case.

What would 'not fit for purpose' count as if it was a shirt?
If its too big or something?

I would call the middle-management tosser out of the break room and let him deal with it for his extra 25p an hour etc.
