This story was passed on to me from my grandma who worked in the same grocery store for most of her life. She worked at the service counter most of the time, so people with returns went to her.
One day, a lady came in with a cart with a big bundle of plastic bags, which she dumped on the service counter.
Customer: “I need a refund!”
My grandma opened the bag, and lo, inside was an entire turkey in a tin roasting pan, stuffed with stuffing, and clearly partially cooked.
Grandma: Shocked “There’s no way to return a turkey in this state.”
Customer: “Well, it didn’t cook all the way! There’s something wrong with it! You need to take it back!”
Grandma: “You have to put it back in the oven for longer!”
It apparently took several more minutes of refusing the return before the customer took her turkey back and left.
The question that still remains: did the woman ever learn how cooking works? Or did she toss the turkey and try again with a “better” one?
