  Exactly -- and notice how the original poster rather glossed over
this fact in the post. I'd go farther and say that the offer was in
fact reasonable, not just seemingly reasonable. The poster came in 5
weeks after the purchase and wanted a refund. According to their store
policy, they could've flat out refused, but instead they offered a
refund by store credit. This was a good customer service approach. The
original poster's fixation on getting a cash refund after so long was
clearly unreasonable.
