Wow.
I just skimmed this thread. I'm fairly consider myself somewhat cheap or broke, but a $15 book? Seriously?
I believe everyone should understand you can't return books in general. What is it? Some kind of lending library? No, it's a bookstore.
If I bought a book by mistake, I think I would just be like, "Oh, my bad, let me buy this other one."
I'm not sure what I'd do in your situation. I'd probably explain that if we let people return books, we'd turn into a library instead of a bookstore, and we'd all loose our jobs and starve to death in the gutter begging for alms. Since this lady was so open in sharing her problems with me, I share with her my problems too. "Oh, I so sorry, but if I did that, the manager would get out the whip, and last time I went against the rules, I lost a lot of blood." Oh, mercy lady, I believe for $15, you would condemn me to a horrible end. You take money from the mouths of my children and my pet cat, and the children of everyone who works here! The children, dear woman! Can you please, for peat sake, donate another $15 for the cause of our survival?
