I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I would guess, based on my customer service experience, that trying to I refund the refund whether it was the person you talked to being extra nice or just a mistake somewhere, would be a huge pita for everyone including Target. Just keep the stuff with a clear conscience. We advise customers to keep extra whatever that they got in error all the time, dealing with returns etc. is more costly.

Yeah, just the explaining is such a huge pita, much less remedy-ing a oops in an iffy billing system. Cause clearly the cs learned no more than I from the inside.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I had an Amazon order go a little like that. One afternoon I received the order and two days later I got an email from them stating it was undeliverable because it was lost by the carrier and said I should contact them to either reorder or get a refund.

I would keep the refund and try calling to leave glowing feedback for the CS person to make it even with the universe.

Punishingly Intricate

What Shrift said. Honestly, whatever extra goods you got probably costs Target less than whatever it costs them to pay someone to take care of the refunding the refund for you.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

augh meeting from 7:30 to 10AM on a Friday.

"Asshole" was first used to describe an unpleasant person during World War II

This is kind of amazing. I would have thought it originated much earlier, had I thought about it.

Oh, good, the meeting actually goes to 10:15.

Because books.

I know it would be worse for you, but I was so hoping you would say "to 11:00."
