chances are they will exchange
the merchandise and may even
give you a refund or credit. But

store money and thosf! costs are

including the considerate ones in
| .the prices of the store's
merchandise.
On the other hand, if the store
makes an error or advertises the
product tp be something that it
isn't, you have the legal right to
receive an adjustment - a refund
if you desire.' For example, you
buy an oval coffee table but the
tieltvery-inan brings a square
lamp table. Or you buy what are
labeled "full size" percale sheets
that turn out to be too small for a
full size bed.
Watch out for- merchandise
offered in a "sale" or at special
discount. Ask about the return
policy. Very often "sale"
