What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? VA
I got a written store credit after purchasing 50 boxes of "joe" in advance for a community outreach event where I was a volunteer. I was able to use all except 17, hence the credit.
I go today to use it and the DD owner goes crazy saying he won't honor it and that I should of picked up all the boxes the day of purchase. That would have been fine had they told me that instead of issuing me a credit for the remaining balance. Prior to today's meeting, I had only ever dealt with the store manager a woman named Bridget who I assumed had the authority to issue the credit.
So I filed a small claims case against the shop/owner today for $200, the approximate value plus taxes. What do you think my chances of winning are? I still have the written credit as evidence. Shop owner says I got a ridiculous discount for buying bulk and to honor the credit now (4 months after original transaction) would cost him too much. I don't understand how that is either true or even my fault, after all we are talking about coffee here.
