There was an elderly gentleman who was screaming at the employees; because, he was pissed off about NOT being allowed to return some merchandise. </p><p>I purchased several products for my home business and needed to return a few unopened products 2 days later. The store manager seemed to come up with a reason that I couldn't return anything I had just bought from these crooks.  I wasted a lot of time talking to several managers, only to be told that the products I had just purchased and did not open - couldn't be returned. </p><p>Horrible customer service, I will NEVER return!</p></p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(10904567, '')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-13598645\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=1135534\"><img        src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=1135534\">javland</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2008/01/reach-office-depot-executive-customer-service.html#comment-13598645\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-06-13T20:43:33-05:00\">June 13, 2009  8:43 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(13598645);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=13598645');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>On 5/21/09 I purchased a leather case for my new blackberry from Office Depot. After less that a week of use the belt clip sheared off the back of the case. I returned to Office Depot today to return the item and was told that they would have to charge me a \"15% restocking fee\" because I did not save the original packaging.</p><p>I was certain that common sense and good customer service would prevail once I spoke with the store manager, after all this item was obviously not going to be restocked and the case was clearly defective.</p><p>Sadly that is not what happened; As I worked my way up the chain of command from the cashier to the assistant manager and then finally the store manager each parroted the same reply; \"that is company policy and there is nothing I can do about it\".</p><p>It seemed more likely that there was nothing they chose to do about it. Even photographing the defective leather case and stating that I was going to write to Consumerist.com about this injustice did nothing to sway them. The manager seemed to find that statement very amusing.</p><p>As my feeling of frustration increased, so did the size of the smirk on the manager's face. He actually seemed to enjoy antagonizing his customers. Our conversation concluded with him telling me that if I didn't like it I could call their 800 number to complain as he turned and walked away. I've already wasted enough time on the matter of principle alone here. The actual dollar amount was only a little over one. One-dollar and six-cents to be exact.</p><p>As shown on the attached receipt photo, Office Depot charged me $15.89 including sales tax and would only agree to refund me $14.83.</p><p>So, Office Depot cheated me out of $1.06. They would have certainly made much more than that from future purchases had they not treated me so poorly. I certainly won't be shopping there again!</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(13598645, 'javland')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment last\" id=\"comment-20376771\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=1547692\"><img        src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=1547692\">whaleyf</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2008/01/reach-office-depot-executive-customer-service.html#comment-20376771\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2010-08-11T11:08:56-05:00\">August 11, 2010 11:08 AM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(20376771);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=20376771');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>CALL THAT NUMBER.
