I was in a K-Mart the other day, I spied several Outback sets and one
Explorien on the shelf. All had beat up boxes and were scanning full
price. I went up to the customer service desk and asked if they would be
willing to discount them a little because of the box condition (I would
have taken them at 20-30% off and been happy). The CS rep said "oh no,
since they are damaged, we can send them back and get full credit". So I
left them on the shelf and K-Mart lost a sale. Instead of getting ~60%
back (if indeed they can return them), they would have gotten 70-80% and
made the sale.
But I still wonder, did this person have a clue ?
