Last week I asked readers to share anecdotes of retail scofflaws who tried to return bogus merchandise. “To my surprise, when I opened the sealed package I found three cans of tuna taped inside the box,” Jane wrote. When he got home and opened the box, he discovered that what was inside was someone else’s old beat-up VCR. “Of course, I returned immediately to the store,” wrote Bill. Wrote Jack, “He feigned ignorance as I charged him the correct price.”From 1970 to 1972, Bruce Shulman of Silver Spring was a supervisor in Woodward & Lothrop’s merchandise adjustment (i.e., complaint) department.
