Well, I'm HOPING the dreams stopped, but I'm never that lucky haha. I was in the mall yesterday and was in a kind of stressful situation, I was at a store paying with cash and my visa and their debit machine wouldn't read my card, so I asked them if I could just get my 20 bucks cash back and not buy anything and just leave, well they wouldn't let me leave the store until I paid for everything, and obviously I had NO WAY POSSIBLE to pay for anything. I've worked in retail before so I know a thing or two about it, so I asked them if they could just void everything, they didn't speak proper English and all I hear from them was "I can't, you can't, we can't," so I called my friend and she paid for everything else (we're talking 80 dollars worth of clothes ugh) and then after that we tried to return everything like they said we could and they just said "no refunds". Kind of stressful, but I DID NOT HAVE AN ANXIETY ATTACK. I was really happy about that. Idk I was chill. then my friend left her wallet in Walmart and it was late and had closed, well I dealt with that as well NO STRESS idk what's happening to me maybe aliens took over my brain.

Hi I don't understand why you had to pay for everything? Surely you could just have bought 20 dollars worth of clothes? If you change your mind at the till before you pay or you haven't got the money then you haven't got to buy those extra things.

I think the retailers were having a moment of "I think we have a failure to communicate" at the expensive of peach22. No logic to it, except for the retailers to get their way.

I thnk we have all been there at one time or another.

Yes probably. If I was peach though I would be putting in a written complaint to the management and putting bad reviews on their site!

You go girl! (I'm a bit older than peach and have a bit more caboose...I might have just sat that caboose down and not leave until the security guards came who could conveniently speak English when the retailers wouldn't. :)
