Lying to large corporation.

Quick story to go along with this. I purchased a new in the box playpen from a used clothing and good sale. After opening it and setting it up, it seems like it was missing a hole to attach one of the secondary accessories to this playpen. Everything else was working and this was something that was a nice to have add on.

After a week of trying to prove that I purchased this item and is actually missing that hole, I was informed this was unreplaceable but I could get a refund. After I said I wanted a refund I was informed that I needed to destroy the entire item to get the $50 refund and send them pictures. So I had to either destroy the only functional part of this item or find a picture that looks like I did. I decided on lying and used a Gen-AI image tool to create this. It ended up working out and I am getting the refund without breaking anything. If they are forcing this technology down our throats, I will use to circumvent stupid policies. Hopefully the energy used to create the photo is less than the energy needed to create a one playpen.

Obviously this is just theory because who would steal from a large corporation.....
