    Toxic shop manager


    I’m on vacation in Cyprus hotel. I bought from there an air mattress. After one use it ripped. I tried to return under warranty, talked with manager, he didn’t wanted to do anything, when I said there should be a warranty because we live in EU, he tried to tear out it from my hands and pushed me out of the store. He teared it even more. Is there anything i can do?

    Edit: that’s the shop https://maps.app.goo.gl/qfzKcXxPs5NcH3B88

    Thank you everyone for help

      If you’re on vacation I doubt you can do anything more than naming the shop here so that they have an incentive to stop acting like that.

      EDIT: I see that you added the shop. That’s great.

      business’s in cyprus are pretty bad and managers are scummy because they hire mostly immigrants for cheap labour but still rip off tourists and lick their a holes, most of them are uneducated idiots who rely on others because they are lazy , you can call the police on them and report them to the economic ministry via the website, that way he will have to suffer alot of backlash

      Even as a local it’s tough to do anything. You can report them to the Cyprus Consumer Association but I don’t think much would happen. We also don’t have small claims courts over here so it makes it easy to get away by doing petty things like this. It sucks but it is what it is.

      Don’t by inflatables from shops like these. They’re probably old or get worn out from being in the sun.

      Unfortunately most shop owners here are greedy especially if you’re not Cypriot. Pardon the pun but they inflate the prices a lot as they know people will pay them.

      Yeah that doesn’t surprise me with that place. Owners of the hotel want to pay peanuts and the ‘managers’ always seem to have some sort of power complex issue. Place has been on its arse and inundated with complaints for years.

      I personally find this situation funny, sorry. This is a souvenir shop and staff you buy from there is single use disposable tourist staff.
      I can’t stop wonder why those shops keep existing, and why people buy there anything at all? It is ‘made in China’ staff of quality even lower than Jumbo, crazy overpriced, and you get this disgusting “service”. Why not to go to normal legal shop or supermarket?

      I’d have called the police. They wouldn’t have done anything but the shop owner might have given you your money back.
