Are You Afraid to Return Things?

I would have retuned the pool too - especially if it was just in the car. My husband likes to give me a hard time about taking my time, looking around, and price checking. This situation is exactly why I do that no one should be embarrassed about returning items. It's your money, you spent and you should always be satisfied with our purchases.

I don't have a problem at all returning something. When asked if there was anything wrong with it, I just tell them that I realized it wasn't what I was looking for or whatever. If there is something wrong with it then I really have no problem returning it unless it was something so inexpensive as to not be worth the hassle. As for returning food in a restaurant, it all depends. I try not to complain much. I know they work hard and if it's not terrible then I'll just deal with it. I'm not overly fussy with my food anyway. I have sent a steak back to be cooked a bit more before but if they brought me fries instead of mashed potatoes or the wrong vegetable or something minor like that then I wouldn't say anything.

i would take it back for sure. we need to watch every penny so i have no problem doing stuff like that. we recently bought a piece of metal that my hubby thought he needed to fix our screen door, but turns out that he didn't need and rather than keeping it, i got him to take i back. it was $14 bucks that would have been just sitting around in a useless piece of metal.

I am with you, return, return, return! There was nothing wrong with returning it for the better deal. I don't blame you one bit. Good deals are hard to come by these days and if you can get a better one go for it. I don't think I have ever had any problems about returning something that I did not find lived up to my expectations. I do hope that you will enjoy that pool.

hi dear alaskanray, I am still learning to be confident enough to get refunds or exchange. My husband is good at this. he just got me a backpack from Aldi which was on sale and when I saw it I said, in the flyer it was blue and here it sits green which doesnt match my clothes. I mostly wear blue....... Hubby decided to take it back and get it refunded. He was successful. Just recently I think I made some progress. Once when I bought cherries at a street vendors place. The first time I bought them they were wonderful, almost no bad ones in the big brown bag I got me. second time one day later another guy worked at the place and I wanted cherries again. Nothing visible there they arent in good condition so I paid and went to the station to get the train home. While I waited I decided to start eating and guess what? One good one, two bad ones to the trash, one good one, three bad ones to the trash and on it went. Next day I went there again and complained. They first tried to say something about they were cheap in the late afternoon anyways and I then said but I dont have two Euro to throw in the trash, it ended up with me giving me the money back and bickering amongst themselves about that money back for me. Second incident was just about two weeks ago. I went to a supermarket near work to shop for a few items, then I went to the cash register and the cashier dropped a cream cheese on the floor just put it back to my purchases. I refused to accept that cause it could have a minor tear he wouldnt see immediately. He first had said he gets me a new one, then said its not damaged and I wont get a new one. I said I refuse accepting this as moments ago he had said he gets me a new one and now refuses claiming he has no time with only two more customers following behind me. He started insulting me but by then I insisted on my money back. He tried to set pressure on me saying I never experienced anything like this in 10 years. I just looked at him and said so young man then its about time you do. Finally he handed me the money........ Success........
