Last night I decided to go to Target and return the roasting pan that I had bought last week. It was an impulse buy, a big roasting pan with lid that is perfect for a Thanksgiving turkey or a big country ham. But when I was washing it a couple of days later, I noticed that the finished was flaking off from the bottom of the pan. I don’t really know what the pan is made of, but the idea of the core metal being exposed and any chemicals leeching into my food being cooked was alarming to me. So I decided to return it and ask for a replacement.
The whole customer service thing was less painful than I expected. I had not kept the receipt and I dreaded going back to deal with that issue. But the store clerk was OK with and told me to go get another one from off the shelf and she would take care of it.
The funny thing is, as I was walking back with the new roasting pan, I noticed a lot of things that were on clearance. So not only did I get the new pan, but I bought another $80 worth of stuff while I was at the store!
