I feel cheated
I purchased a keg from Total Wine in Leesburg, VA, on February 8 for one of my customers (I own a bartending business). The keg was too big, so I returned it an hour later to exchange it for another. I noticed on my receipt the next day that I wasn’t refunded for the keg. I called and asked about it, and the gentleman I spoke with said it’s their policy not to issue refunds for kegs, and he recommended I call another day to speak with a manager. I called back on the 10th, spoke to a manager named MJ and asked if she’d be able to send me an email stating their return policy so that I can show my customer in order to be transparent with him. She searched for it for several minutes while I was on the phone with her but said the return policy for kegs wasn’t actually written down, and there was nothing she could do for me. I don’t know what the legality of this is, but I had assumed that an official return policy had to be written down somewhere in order to be enforceable. The manager MJ, told me that this policy had nothing to with VA ABC laws either, so how do I know this is even an official policy? Also, the cashier who checked me out could’ve given me a heads up that I wouldn’t be refunded for a full, untapped keg. I would’ve kept the keg if I had known. I feel as though $150 has been stolen from me.
