Some guy tricked me into giving him a refund for two week old boots and my stingey as fúck boss sacked me over it. :mad: The worst part is my boss is actually the one who approved the refund!! She covered her own arse by firing me. It was only €112, peanuts to such a large company but now I am out of a job just before Christmas and will probably have to go on the game just to feed my kids. :( If anyone here can spare a few euro for me I would greatly appreciate it.

All you have to do is bring your receipt and they give you the refund. It's not considered sharp practice, just good customer service.https://lifehacker.com/all-the-stores-that-will-give-you-a-refund-if-a-price-d-1661273299

They are going out about 15 years or so. Despite this, she refuses to open a joint account and insists of everything being split 50/50. We were all in Tesco recently and she bought about 7 euros worth of burgers and buns. She made her long suffering partner transfer her the 3.50 odd before they left the store. She told my wife she has about 50 grand in savings. Despite this, they got married about 3 years ago and the husband paid for everything out of an inheritance. She didn't put a cent of her savings towards it. She is just the worst. She refuses to spend a cent of her savings. I swear she would not dip into it if she needed a life saving operation.
