Exchanging a Jacket

During a weekend shopping trip, Maya found a blue jacket that seemed perfect. She tried it on quickly, but she did not notice that one sleeve was slightly too short. At home, she checked the receipt and saw that the store allowed exchanges within thirty days if the tags were still attached. The next afternoon, Maya returned to the store with the jacket and receipt. She explained politely that she liked the jacket but needed a larger size. The employee checked the stockroom and found the same style in a medium. Maya tried it on and found that it fit better. She asked whether the price was the same, and the employee confirmed that it was. Before leaving, Maya checked the new jacket’s buttons and seams. The exchange took only a few minutes because she had brought the receipt and kept the original tags. She learned that checking the return policy and inspecting an item carefully can make shopping easier.
