You mention "sets of employees"--does that include all the management? Store
managers do have blanket authority to circumvent these regulations--I've had
them do it before, on discounts and refunds both--if they want to. If not,
ask for the name and contact phone of *their* superior (usually at the district
office). TRU is service oriented enough that just the *threat* of you making
direct contact with a complaint or an issue that can be resolved at the store
is enough to get it resolved in your favor, because the DSM isn't going to
want to deal with something that so obviously should have been taken care of
at the store level. After all, it's still well within 45 days of the
holidays--I'm sure this isn't the first time such a thing has happened.
Be persistent--it's the surest sign to the management that you're honest, on
the level, correct, and deserve to be given special dispensation. It's always
worked for me.
