Why do customers appear to think that, no matter how long ago they bought the item, they are always entitled to a cash-back return?
Ever since I started buying things for myself years and years ago, there was always a solid limit on how long you were able to return products, and usually the maximum was a single month, unless it was a retailer with a special category of products, but that’s quite rare even nowadays.
A cassette player from 1993 might actually still be good after someone replaces those drive belts. Certainly better than the cheap garbage players they’re cranking out these days for the hipsters.
Receipts always say to return within a certain number of days (like 10). How is it she has to accept a return from that long ago? Once just as she was about to make goal some guy came in with a TV set (I think) from 1981!
Because if she refuses it, the guy could call corporate, and they’ll make her go against their own policy and do the return anyway. She’s just saving time and effort for everyone involved.
Never give the customer money out of your pocket for any reason.

This one wasn’t even opened. Marla could sell it for a pretty penny and at least make a few bucks on it.
“I’m sorry, Sir, the Statute of Limitations for this item has expired.”

that was a Betamax player, which would probably be even more valuable (depending on how you market it)
Even store-brand 1993 walkmans are selling for double that in box…
If he has a Sony then Marla could well be looking at a low three-figure windfall.
Option 4:
Call the cops to tresspass that lug and ban him.
