Had a horrible experience trying to return some Milwaukee tools this evening at this location. I came in here for the second night in a row after speaking to a lady on the phone before that. I called to make sure if I came to this location, that I could return a few Milwaukee tools without my receipt and paying cash. I was told it would be ok they could just look it up in the system. I went in the next night spoke with Jennifer (a manger) who told that isn't true. They had no way of looking in the system. So I went to the website and confirmed what I was told on the phone was true. That's how they do a return within 90 days, if you pay cash. So I went back into the store and spoke to another lady who called Jennifer back to customer service. Jennifer brought along her manager who then told me that was true I just needed the exact date and location I purchased the tools. Then I could go back to the store and give them that information and they could look up the cash receipts for that day and she will refund my cash. I said ok np, went home looked through my Google timeline and found the information i was instructed I would need. Went back into that location tonight and spoke to Jennifer, Tamara and another lady told me they wouldn't return my tools. Which had malfunctioned within not even 2 weeks of me purching. I used the drill maybe 3 times.. I'm an apprentice electrician.
They continued to tell me they have the right to refuse my return and the conversation I had with there manager the night before was not true. She didn't know what she was talking about and that Jennifer is her manager and knows they don't have to refund or even exchange the drill.
I trusted this location because I have been a fort resident for a couple years now. My partner is a mechanic and we shop here many times a week. We have bought thousands of dollars worth of DeWalt tools and Milwaukee tools. This is not the first time Tamara has given me a hard time returning a tool and I had the receipt that time. The three women I was dealing with tonight continued to argue with me infront of customers. I would consider that bullying if my child was on a play ground being treated that way. What a horrible way to treat a customer. Especially if you are claiming to be a manager dealing with a customer infront of your employees. You should be setting a better example then that as a superior. I did everything I was asked to do on my part , respectfully, without hesitation. None of these women tried to help me or look up my receipts. They were very quick to tell me they had the right to refuse me. I in now way was disrespectful towards them, I gave them space because they kept complaining about the 200 cash receipts from that day that they had to look through.
I know it may be a tough task to look through the receipts, even tho I gave them a time, date, location and even the exact amount I paid for the tools.. because Tamara demanded i figure that out. Apparently none of them know the prices of the products they sell and one of the biggest brands at that.
I'm extremely disappointed and very sad about the treatment I received over a return for malfunctioned tools within 90 days of my purchase. The tools are still on for the same sale price I purchased them for so I don't see the issue here. I was questioned as if I don't know what I bought or something. Like maybe because the way I look, I would have no idea about these tools or how to use them. Just extremely sad and disgusting service tonight.
I really hope the customer service employees have some more training. Especially Jennifer as the manger..? and Tamara who has such a sour attitude towards customers. I really hope these three ladies can realize women should be lifting other women up... Not trying to tear them down because I have the same right as every other customer that could have been in my position.
I hope this finds the right person.
