A friend of mine used to work in the “returns” dept at LL Beans. (Lost her to a complications of surgery, years ago.)
Anyhow...
They never say no, or at least have that reputation.
She opened a box that had a jacket in it that had been
sprayed by a skunk!
Beans allowed the return.
She told me a hilarious story about a lady who bought some winter tights
that kept slipping down every time she shifted gears driving to work.
Slipping down on first one side, then the other.
At a traffic light she lifted up her body trying to pull them up.
The man in the car next to her was, well, real
interested in the moves she was making!
By the time she got to work, the crotch of the tights were
a little below the hem of her skirt!
This was written in a letter, and was just so funny!
Wish I could remember it all!
Wowđ
Do you know what the LL stands for in LL Bean?
Someone who I knew processed insurance claims.
A woman went to the doctor complaining of an u usual discharge that was bright purple.
After an investigation they found out she had recently been fitted for a diaphragm and told to use some jelly when to insert it and used Welchâs grape.
Bean told me no over some turtle necks I had bought where the body of the t-neck had shrunk so much it wouldn’t tuck into my pants. The sleeves were still the correct length but the torso part shrank. And the stuff still looked virtually brand new and they told me no, because it had been used or worn or some crap.
Never bought any more turtle necks from them again, because that was also not the first time they shrank like that. The other times weren’t as bad and the sweater was still wearable.
