6:56:39Pippa we're going out of bussiness.
6:56:39they're supposed to spend money to hold it lmao
6:56:40she is either sketch or just entirely inept at running a business
6:56:44no refunds on layaway for most stores
6:56:49it could have been potentially sold in that time but instead its just sitting htere lol
6:56:49Now im not standing up for how bricks and mini is handling the situation but i understand why these people were fired and lost the franchise
6:56:52yeah, normal practice is you don't get your layaway/reservation fee back
6:56:53im so zoned out. im just watching my desk spider
6:56:58So you want to sell 10 items, one person comes in, buys one of them then reserves the other nine, then three weeks later cancels so any other person who wanted to buy it in the interim is lost.
6:56:58that's litearlly what the 10% fee is for to stop them wasting your time
6:57:01you sound like a business owner already!
6:57:05That is opportunity cost, yes
6:57:06plus that's capital that's tied up
6:57:07Most successful places don't refund. 30 days is the usual limit for full payment.
6:57:07exactly, merch thats not getting sold is burning a hole in your pocket
6:57:07She lost it when she said refund
6:57:08thats why most people dont do layaways
6:57:09That's the scam that ebayers do, they would buy up all the amiibos to create scarcity then return what doesn't sell
6:57:10I think with layaway you get most your money back but there’s a fee
6:57:11yeah no, the whole point is that you're on the hook for it imo
6:57:11Pippa right, they're doing a service by not selling it so they should keep the money
6:57:11it's a down payment, not a deposit
6:57:11She was probably emotionally manipulated into refunding it
6:57:18standard practice is to have a cancellation fee
6:57:19Oh no husbant you spent last $50 on Lego star wars layaway no we homeress
6:57:22Yeah kinda crazy doing layaway like that
6:57:23I dont go to physical game stores anymore cause they sold the item I put money down on
