Have you ever wondered just how faulty items returned by customers actually work perfectly? Me too! Why do we think of such mundane rubbish?
When I worked in retail in a medium-ish store you sometimes had to take things back as you didn't have time to test them, or a manager just told you to. But! Imagine what that must be like in a busy, understaffed supermarket where you just need to get the queue down before the manager complains, even though he knows full well that Sarah is off sick and he just made John go over and work on the checkouts even though there are supposed to be three people in this department at all times and my god they only pay you for doing one job and frankly that's not enough to cover the rent and electricity bills these days. And I mean come on how the heck are you supposed to test a TV aerial anyway, they won't let you set a TV up as it has to come out of existing stock and they won't write it off?
So anyway, I bought returned items for effectively £1 each, so anything that still works is s SUPER BONUS. But just how many worked and how many didn't? I've got no idea as I didn't keep count!
