America's Most Wanted

Last year, I returned a book to Barnes & Noble that I had received for Christmas. (If you gave me a book for Christmas, that's not the book I returned.) When I told the cashier I didn't have the receipt, obviously, because it was a gift, she gave me the evil eye as though I had just strolled in, plucked a book off the shelf, and then tried to return it. Apparently against her better judgment, she eventually took back the book and gave me money on a gift card in exchange. This year, different book, different cashier, same evil eye.

I must look like a criminal.

It's called, "Customer Service" which Barnes and Noble obviously translates into guilt trips with no receipt.

It's actually called "Customer No Sevice" and almost every store has that department.
