I bought my friend a shirt from American Eagle for Christmas. I bought it 2 days after Thanksgiving, so it was quite some time ago. I went to put it in the box yesterday and realized that the ink squirty thing is still on it. I don't know how they missed it and I don't know how I got out of the store with it still on...
Anyway, I threw away the receipt not too long after getting it and I've misplaced the gift receipt. I know that if I still had the receipt I could bring the shirt back and they would take off the ink thing, but will they still do it without a receipt? If not what am I supposed to do? It was a $30 shirt and I'm not made of money to go get her another...
I was just wondering if anyone here works at AE or has had to do this there or some other place and knows whether or not they can do it without a receipt. I paid with cash if that matters...
Additional info, added Monday December 17 2007, 8:57 pm: I was getting so frustrated I just took a pair of scissors to it. It came off after about 30-45 minutes of cutting at it. I guess it didn't have ink in it after all...

so go to the store and say you bought the shirt a long time ago and then let them know that they left the ink on it and then tell them that it is really difficult to just buy a new shirt with you money situation.

Try calling the store and explaining the situation. Tell them you tossed the reciept b/c you knew it would fit and wouldn't be returned...but you didn't know it had the ink tag still on it. Maybe they will tell you to bring it in and they will remove it ... or they can tell you what to do about it.
