Missing Knife and Extra Scrapers: An Unusual Hosting Story

In summary, the conversation is about a host who had a Pampered Chef party and discovered that one of her guests had accidentally taken home a knife and some extra scrapers. The host handled the situation by writing a humorous and creative letter asking for the return of the missing items. The guest eventually returned the items and even became a loyal customer. This is not a common occurrence at Pampered Chef parties and serves as a reminder to always double check items before leaving.

So I just got a call from a recent host of mine. Apparently she had some missing items and some extra items.

One was the Forged Cutlery Santoku Knife. It was the only thing that this particular guest even ordered. I've had items missing before, but never a $70 knife. Has any one else here had something like that happen? When I did the adjustment to have it sent to the guest is says it will be pending.

Also a pinch bowl set that is already adjusted and being sent to the customer that ordered it (no pending~it's approved).

So then PC sent her like 8 extra scrapers! 4 classic, 3 master, and 1 mega! They are sending her a label to send it back. She seemed a little bummed that I even made the adjustment to send them back. HUH?

Just thought it was weird. HO has been off their game lately.
 
The order that I got yesterday was missing 3 grill baskets.
 
one of my march orders had literally half the items missing. i think it's new people in the warehouse.
