I did something yesterday I never would have expected that I would do, and that was return a newspaper.
Last week, I did some grocery shopping at Super Walmart and picked up a New York Times. Only when I sat down for breakfast afterward did I notice that the date of the paper was Jan. 1, 2011. That explained why the front page photo was of people partying in Times Square!
When I went to customer service, one employee said others had encountered the same problem. It was only at that point that she went to the newspaper rack and removed all the copies of the New York Times, all dated Jan. 1. Apparently, they stopped getting new copies and forgot to throw away the old ones, despite being two months old.
They happily refunded me my two dollars.
