Stealing from a small business?! 🥺

Transcript

I think this is disgusting. I don't understand why you think that is okay. This is a return that I've had back. I think this is just trampy behavior. I've been doing a deal online, a live, if you order four pairs, you get a free pair of pajamas. This is someone who's returned all four pairs. And not the free pair. And kept them. That is theft from a small business. You've actually stolen from me. Also, just say this isn't the first time this has happened this week. This is the fourth time and I have had enough of it. Every single one of these sets is completely unopened, not even been tried on. And it is just so disappointing to see. Like, genuinely, I hope you enjoyed your free pair of pajamas, you won't be getting a refund for all four of these sets.
