ok I'm really pissed off. Regular customer breaks....

Posted by Remlik (aka remlik) Feb 4 '09, 14:19

open a full run of Wolverine Origins...a $30 collection.

Takes 2 old back issues and takes the comics out of those 2 old ones and hid those, and puts the 2 Wolverine Origins books in those bags and boards. and paid $9 for those two books and ruined a full set I had put together...

I have his credit card number. I'm tempted to charge him what he owes me.

Responses:

That's shoplifting pure and simple, but I doubt if it would be legal to charge the CC though you could try and he could complain and you'd be in - zeitgeist Feb 4, 14:35 4
- It's not shoplifting if you pay for the items you leave with. -- nm - mara Feb 4, 14:41 2
  - but he switched out the comics with others and paid for the ones that SHOULD have been in the packaging. -- nm - Andie Feb 4, 14:44
  - Actually, it is shoplifting if he effectively switched out higher price tagged items for lower ones, which is how I read the story. -- nm - David Feb 4, 14:44
- Could be easy to prove if he has good inventory records. "Yup, only had 1 copy of each of those and they were in the full set" -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 4, 14:37
when he comes in next, talk nice about it and act like you are gonna forget the incident. but NO more discounts or special deals for him - peglegpete Feb 4, 14:25 6
- I like this. He maybe a regular, but he just cost you a lot of money and you can not reward any customer like that. -- nm - Walt_Disney Feb 4, 14:29
- yeah, id talk to him when he comes in and see if you cant work something out -- nm - Crusty Gorillahump Feb 4, 14:29
- and then he just shops somewhere else -- nm - zork Feb 4, 14:27 3
  - and ruins their sets -- nm - The Coraline Cat Coalition Feb 4, 14:28 2
    - and who knows how many other things he's done but wasn't caught. -- nm - zork Feb 4, 14:30 1
      - He might be a regular...but he clearly doesn't have any qualms about ripping the store off -- nm - The Coraline Cat Coalition Feb 4, 14:31
You need a "No Substitutions" sign. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 4, 14:21
call the police? -- nm - zork Feb 4, 14:20 2
- or call the CC company and ask them what they suggest -- nm - zork Feb 4, 14:22
- ideally, they could ask him to come in and either pay or get arrested. -- nm - zork Feb 4, 14:21
That sucks. "He broke it, he bought it"? -- nm - con_carne Feb 4, 14:20
You should. It was outright theft. -- nm - TWuG Feb 4, 14:20
I don't think credit card fraud is a suitable response ... perhaps a police report? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 14:20
