From the transcript

You work at the customer service counter in a Canadian retail store. Customers bring items to return or exchange, sometimes with receipts, sometimes without.

customer: Hi, I'd like to return this blender.

employee: Sure! Do you have the receipt?

customer: Yes, here it is.

employee: I see it was purchased 10 days ago. That's within our 30-day return policy. Is there anything wrong with it?

customer: No, I just changed my mind.

employee: No problem. Is it in the original packaging with all the parts?

customer: Yes, everything is there.

employee: Great. I see you paid with a credit card. The refund of $39.97 will go back to the same card. It may take 3-5 business days to appear.

customer: That's fine.…
