first you tell us they ripped you off, now you're saying they're top notch. get your story straight, sister!

Tell me again.
Who's on first?

The store was Top Notch...It has the green sign and clothing /shoes in the window, right next to the 24/7 deli!

What store was it?

you can always complain to your friendly and always pleasant credit card company ... depending on the card you have, etc., they may be able to help you with this ...

I appreciate the responses to my rant! Yes, I did have a receipt that had a date (a wk ago) and the total paid. Initially he said I could return, then he magically changed that to exchange, then it turned into nothing at all because "he would loose money on the deal". The harder I pushed, the harder he acted like he didn't understand my English. Thank you all for the suggestions, I normally love supporting the shops downtown but the one time I give one of these retail stores on Newark a chance it ends up screwing me! Never Again!

"Businesses with no posted refund policies shall be liable to the buyer, for up to 20 days from the date of purchase, for a cash refund or a credit, at the buyer?s option, provided the merchandise has not been used or damaged."

Mom and Pop stores are tough to deal with. Was there a sign that stated no-returns or is it printed on the receipt ? Also was he the owner of the place and was he able to relate to your situation or did he just shake his head ? Sometimes shopkeepers new to the country do not understand our customs here and cannot have a normal dialogue with their customers.

So yes, this is a venting session for me however, I want to send a warning to all the females on this site who like to support local business...DO NOT shop at Top Notch on Newark Ave.

My dear husband who thought was doing me a favor, picked me up a pair of rain boots that I desperately needed and instead of driving to Target thought he would support a local store. Of course, the pair he brought didn't fit quite right and he assured me the store owner told him we could return them or exchange them for another pair. OF COURSE, that was not the case.

I got the whole, no returns speech and when I kept pushing he tried to tell me my boots (still in the original plastic) were not in the same condition they were purchased. Yes, I did try them and walk around the house, but they were clean. I got every excuse in the book why I couldn't return or now exchange the $25 boots all of which went against what my husband was told.

Moral of this story, support Target, not a local store that really doesn't sell anything of quality anyway, though I am curious how they can afford the rent!
