Happy Birthday Return Customer!

Beginnings

I’ve been asked what got me started writing Return Customer. I’d say it was a series of unfortunate events with retail stores that planted the seed in my mind. I wanted a place to vent my frustrations but soon realized that the internet is full of sites bashing companies and each other. I wanted to put a positive spin on things and hoped we could learn something beneficial together.
