Perfectly Timed Photos With Funny Stories Behind Them

5. Someone Confused the Return Policy

We're not sure which is more funny: someone one made this sign and posted it on the wall above this shirt or the fact that a retail worker accepted this shirt from the year 2000 as a return. Management obviously wasn't very happy with the circumstances for a legitimate reason and had to make their message loud and unambiguous. Still, given almost seventeen years of age, the shirt was in really good condition. Particularly when you recently started the work, the retail industry can sometimes be a bewildering one. Though hysterical, mistakes do happen and this was most certainly a major one.

This episode emphasises the amusing aspect of consumer service contacts as well as the sporadic ridiculousness of return rules. Retail employees regularly find unusual circumstances; this one reminds us gently that occasionally consumers could not completely understand the policies. The sign designed to handle this probably made people laugh both inside the company and among patrons, transforming a perhaps unpleasant event into a common joke. In the end, this narrative emphasises the need of keeping a sense of humour in the face of daily difficulties in retail, where every day may reveal fresh surprises and interesting narratives.
