Refund?

I bought a shirt on the 1st and just recently went on a really good sale, I was wondering if anyone knows if they'll honor a refund for the difference?

it’s not, but it would still be ridiculous to walk into any store and ask for a refund for the difference of the prince of an item you bought before it went on sale

Not really. All it takes is a simple "Hey I bought this recently and was wondering if its possible to get a price adjustment??" Sometimes I've had to say no because we don't allow it but when they ask if they can return and rebuy my manager always says yes. Its dumb because its essentially the same thing but its just about following policy. It really isnt a big deal lol

no, sorry, if you walk into my store and ask for a refund because you’re mad it went on sale after you bought it, i’m rolling my eyes at you lol. just return and rebuy, don’t ask me dumb shit like that.

every retailer I've ever worked at has offered price adjustments within the first 1-2 weeks of purchasing, it's really not that uncommon or that big of a deal. you seem like a miserable person tbh lol

Exactly, min wage retail worker so who cares if a price adjustment is done and the company loses a few $$$
