Never had an issue with Pearl Bros before today, have dealt there for years but not again. I came in to make a purchase and while there return some exterior screws that I'd purchased but didn't end up needing. I brought them back their own sealed pouch that they had sold them to me in which showed the count as 16 along with my register receipt. The young lady at the register, who is awesome btw, handed them to an associate, who was also terrific, to take them down to hardware to be counted. He then opened the sealed bag and heads downstairs.
Apparently the guy in hardware, big, middle aged guy who's always there, didn't count them but dumps them back into the bin. So when the cashier calls down to confirm the count he hesitates a bit and replies "around seven". So we go back and forth with rude hardware guy basically calling me a liar. Now these weren't cheap screws at $1.19 each so I wouldn't let it go. I said either you have no idea how many were in your bag you just dumped out or you screwed me on the count when I bought them!
Finally an older gentleman said to refund my money and then proceeded to tell me in the future when returning an item to go directly to hardware and watch them count. I replied that won't be necessary, there won't be a next time. You lost my business for good and I suggest you work with big boy on his customer service skills, or send him packing. read more
