Please share so I feel better.

I took an order on Wednesday for a $50 gift certificate....
Guess I missed the email that we don't sell them anymore.
Because it's still on PP3- never occurred to me that we didn't.
Now the dreaded phone call.
 
I sell my own. They must purchase the item through me to turn in the certificate. I found a great template on this website.
 


I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. Mistakes like that can be frustrating and stressful, especially when it involves a customer. Have you reached out to your manager or supervisor to see if they can help resolve the situation? It's always a good idea to double check policies and procedures before taking orders to avoid these types of mix-ups. I hope everything gets sorted out smoothly for you. Hang in there!
