I went in to buy cigarettes as I do twice a week for the last 6 months
and was given "short" cigarettes instead of the longer 100's style. I
was halfway out the door when I realized the mistake. The door hadn't
even had time to close behind me when I went back in to get the right
cigarettes. Had to wait behind a few other people at the cash
register but when I got there he said they have a policy that once you
leave the store you cannot return or exchange anything. I told him
the door never even closed behind me so technically I never left the
store. And more importantly you gave me the wrong cigarettes. It was
a simple exchange.

He said "No, you asked for 'Short' cigarettes", which was total BS as
I told him, "I do this twice a week, and you give me the correct
cigarettes every other time. The word "shorts" is not even in my
vocabulary." He still insisted those are what I asked for. Rather
than providing the simplest customer service he chose to argue with me
and insist I said something that I didn't. He refused to exchange the
cigarettes for the ones I originally asked for.

This is the same Shell station where a woman accused the store clerk
(Amirali Noorji Maknojia, age 44) of sexually assaulting her in the
bathroom back on March 4th, 2008 (story available in
http://Statesmen.com archives, author Tony Plohetski). While I didn't
exactly get raped in the sexual sense, I'm still amazed at the
treatment. It's clear that their pig-headed customer service still
has a quite a ways to go if hey can't even provide the most basic
customer service for regular customers.
