[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 254202, member: 3419"] Susiestar, I just thought of something. Yrs ago, when I was in retail and worked on commission, we didn't get our commission checks until 30 days after the sale. Customers were supposed to return their unwanted mchds within 30 days. The delay in paychecks gave the store a better chance of keeping their $ in case of a return or if something went wrong. I would hope that ph companies or anyplace that has commissioned sales would also work on such a premise. If a certain employee gets in the habit of strong-arming customers, it will come back to bite them wks later in the form of a very small commission check. Quite often, the individual who bought the original item won't return it--a spouse or parent will. That was often the case when I was in sales. It was usually a situation where the wife went shopping and the husband did the return. Being a bit of a feminist in the 70s, that didn't sit well with-me, but the customer is always right. :) Anyway, what goes around comes around, so Nomad, I think that employee will not last long with-that company. One can only hope. [/QUOTE]
