How do I ask a store for a refund or exchange with AI?

Aritzia refused in store to exchange final-sale clothes. TikToker @shescutesy emailed a ChatGPT-written request and it was approved.

Steps

  1. Write down what you bought, when, the order number and why it doesn't work.
  2. Ask the AI for a short, polite email that proposes a fair fix (an exchange or store credit).
  3. Send it to customer service, not just the in-store team.
  4. Accept that final-sale policies may still say no.
