Question:
Hi,
I returned an item to a store for which I had paid for with credit card. They refunded me in cash. Im now realizing that maybe it’s a problem since a store pays a percent for cc payments. Do I have to return to the store and make them aware? Do I owe them the percent? (The cashier was the owners son whose a highly functional down syndrome. If that makes any difference. Maybe he didnt pay attention to the form of payment)
Thank you
Answer:
Many stores know this and nevertheless return cash to their customers, and it serves them in a way that they show themselves as having an easy return policy. If the store didn’t ask that you return the difference, or even if the store put a cashier there who didn’t say it, that is their internal issue and you don’t have to worry about it.
Best wishes
