SM's No Return, No Exchange Policy

Actually, SM DOES allow people to exchange their bought items if they will satisfy certain conditions: on or before 7 days from purchase, no item damage incurred during the customer's possession, the actual complaint is either purchased damaged item or change of item size (applicable to clothes), and lastly, it is not an underwear/intimate item.

That all sounds reasonable... and all would have worked out well if only they would do their part on the actual purchase properly.

What the heck is this girl blabbering about?

I bought a sports bra from SM MegaMall Department Store (Hanford, if I'm not mistaken. I can't confirm since I'm not wearing it at the moment). I got one from the display and went to the counter with it. The cashier told me to wait while they got the code for the item - my sister and I waited for 10 minutes. The sales lady who retrieved the "code" actually brought back what I thought was new stock of the same item - it was in a box. We paid for it then went home (home = they dropped my off to my place, they went back home to Tarlac).

When I was reviewing my purchases, I realized that they gave me the wrong size of the sports bra. What I gave the cashier was size S. They gave me back a size M. A filthy, not-new-stock, size M. I'm a not-yet 5ft tall girl and I know I'm not fat - there's no way that size would fit me. I tried it on, and guess what? I knew I'd get breast cancer if I used it for the gym.

I have no plans of getting these:


So instead of moping about how inattentive the sales lady was, and after making sure I don't have the receipt with me (it wasn't my credit card), I got to work and finished this:


I sewed both shoulder straps so that it would have a tighter fit. I'm thinking of sewing the bellow-the-boobs garter, too but I tested it and it was fine... still thinking of sewing it up though.

BTW, on my quest to finding the saggy boobs, I stumbled on The Celebrity Condition which is also the Uma Thurman picture source. For those who think Beauty Magazines make women feel horrible about themselves, then I think you're the same people who'd fall in love with this site. It shows celebrities at their worst - saggy boobs, cellulite, what they look like without the paint brush.
