Recently, I went to a pharmacy to return some medicine. When I had purchased it, the pharmacist lady promised that she would take it back if it is totally unused.
3 days later, when I went to return it though, she simply refused to take it back.
Lady: Sorry, we don't accept the medicine back after we sell it.
Me: But it's unused and you said you will… she interrupted me
Lady: No, only if you return it on the same day. You are coming 3 days later.
Me: But you said you'll take it anytime. It is just as it is. Look.
Lady: I would take the medicine back, but you'll have to purchase something else of the same amount in return. I can't pay your money back.
she gave me a stern look
Me: If I had returned it on the same day, you'd have given me my money back?
Lady: Yes.
Me: Okay, then I'll buy something else in place of this for the same amount.
a spark appeared in her eyes with a wicked little smile
Me: Thinking a few seconds Okay, give me Benadryl cough syrups of the same amount. coughs
Lady: Puzzled Okay here you go! 3 of them - almost same amount.
I took them and waited for 2 mins.
Me: Ma’am, I would like to return the cough syrups.
Lady: But..
Me: I purchased it today only, right? So you'll have to take it back. coughs
Checkmate
She gave me my money back. The look on her face was priceless!
Literally gave her a taste of her own medicine.
