翻箱倒柜把近一年前买的鱼肝油找了出来，以为扔了，其实还没，想着过期以后仍。一罐油没吃几粒，每次吃总觉得太腥。今天去退了。

那个白女说这罐买了近一年，just as you know for next time 。

我问，am I allowed to return it？

她说，yes, of course 。

我问，are you required to tell the customers when they purchased the products？

她说， no。

我又问, should I talk or your manager why I got a warning for following Costco’s policy?

她说，不是, 我不是这个意思。

我说，I am a kind person. I won’t get you into trouble, but I do have an advice for you. If you don’t hold the position to make the policy, maybe you shouldn’t say something that you are not asked to say as you might not know the company’s strategy so well.

她最终说了一句，sorry。
