    Stupid Management

My personal story is most likely minor in the scheme of things. But I did get two teeth knocked out at work. In the warehouse. When I said...

    This is a recurring topic, and right now there are two different threads with two similar discussions. Consumers understand that simply processing a refund will cost the store some resources, but people who say they represent CT deny that this is significant. Other consumers say it's only...
