    Most of those guarantees involve mailing your receipt and the proof of purchase to the company along with a letter explaining how you were not satisfied before they will get around to mailing you a check for the $4.73 in 8-12 weeks.

      Some of them went over the top the try to ‘make it right’. Dude I went to highschool with did this shit almost like it was a hobby. He’d call the customer support line and complain about whatever bullshit he could come up with - gummy lump in his drink, hard flake in his bag of chips that 'might have been a fingernail!… they’d take his number and address, and that was usually the end of it.

      Then occasionally a box would randomly show up at his front door with like 50 bottles of soda or candy bars or w/e, and a letter apologizing for the trouble lol.

      Manipulative little shit. And that was when we were like 14 years old… dude’s probably running his own organized crime ring nowadays. xD

          Absolutely. That dude was likely personally responsible for a good handful of these policies. Nowadays I’d be willing to bet that he’s either in jail or actively flirting with it.

          Or dead.
