    Default A bit contrary today

    OK...I'll admit to having a bit of time on my hands...and being a bit annoyed with other stuff...(not a good combination)...add that to buying some stuff at bunnies....

    So..I bought a battery drill for my son for christmas....

    Conversation with the checkout girl went like this...

    ..Girl.." Do you know this drill has a 2 year warranty sir?"
    ..Me.."Yes I do..that's one of the reasons I bought it"
    ...Girl..."You will need to photocopy the reciept sir"
    ...Me...." why's that I ask"?...
    ..Girl..."well, the reciept will fade after about 3 months sir"
    ..me... " I don't have a photocopier " do you have a photocopier?...in the office maybe?...
    ..girl... I'll have to check...could you come back later sir?"

    ...me ...No I'll wait thanks...

    ...........finally manager turns up....I explain the predicament...he races off to photocopy my reciept...
    ... The (flustered) manager finally delivers my photocopied reciept ( while the cue behind me gets longer)
    ...as I leave ......I hear the the little old lady behind me ask the manager for a photocopy as well..... for her basil plants....

    My work here is done

    ....

    what if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about?

    That usually results in a broken glass on the photocopier.

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    If you're going to claim on warranty, make sure the date comes out clearly.

    You raise an important issue that I never previously considered. If a retailer expects you to keep a receipt for warranty claims and the warranty period exceeds the physical life of the receipt, surely they are obliged to provide a more resilient receipt at the time of purchase.

    Maybe if everyone demands a proper receipt, retailers/till manufacturers will be forced to lift their game.
    .
    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    Regards, Woodwould.

    WW - I think you may have just discovered the flaw in "Lifetime Warranty".....

    When it breaks it has obviously reached the end of its lifetime, therefore not covered. Sorry.

    Interesting point. This would also apply to all tax reciepts.
    Don't force it, use a bigger hammer.

    Timber is what you use. Wood is what you burn.

    That is mainly the reason for having a printed Tax Invoice.

    You would probably get a blank stare.
