went
to
Costco
to
return
a
piano
I
bought
a
few
months
ago
because
one
of
the
keys
was
not
working
properly.
When
I
got
there,
I
spoke
with
the
customer
service
team
about
the
return.
Unfortunately,
I
forgot
the
small
bench
at
home,
which
made
things
a
bit
complicated.
Despite
my
attempts
to
find
a
solution,
the
first
person
I
talked
to
said
they
couldn't
process
the
return
without
the
bench.
I
suggested
a
few
solutions,
like
leaving
the
piano
there
for
a
refund
while
I
went
to
get
the
bench,
but
I
faced
resistance,
especially
from
the
membership
refund
manager,
Karen.
Things
got
more
intense
when
she
accused
me
of
stealing
the
receipt,
even
though
she
was
the
one
who
aggressively
snatched
them
out
of
my
hands.
Her
overreaction
and
lack
of
social
discipline
expected
of
a
manager
led
Mark,
another
manager,
to
step
in.
The
situation
was
already
very
stressful,
but
more
so
since
Karen's
choice
of
words
fueled
Mark's
anger
to
the
point
where
he
was
visibly
shaking.
All
in
all,
she
was
very
rude
and
impolite
during
the
customer
service
interaction.
As
someone
who
shops
at
Costco
regularly,
this
experience
was
disappointing.
Eventually,
after
talking
to
Mark,
he
apologized
and
acknowledged
that
things
hadn't
been
handled
well
initially.
Thankfully,
he
listened
to
both
sides
of
the
story
and
understood
that
Karen
had
been
rude
and
unprofessional.
While
I
appreciated
Mark's
efforts
to
fix
the
problem,
the
whole
experience
left
me
feeling
confused
and
frustrated.
