Frustrating (Retail Vent) 

I just got a visit from one of our first customers Friday morning. She spent $200 on magic product and is now coming in to return it.

At least it's not her. She's a "tasker" (a personal shopper for a company called TaskRabbit) and the person asking her to buy the cards was a scam artist. Still...would much preferred to have not lost $200 on a slow monday). :/

Also she brought back in literally everything that she left with ($5 Gift Certificates, Buy-A-Box Promotional Items, etc.). So that also kinda helps.

@KoBunny So not "lost" so much as "not sold yet" perhaps?

@Doephin yeah pretty much. It mostly means I revise down our estimates of how well we did last weekend by $200 along with how much we need to do in order to be profitable this month by that much. It's annoying and frustrating, but nothing much beyond that.
