Receipts, refunds, queues and self-checkout, sentence 1

If something is faulty, meaning broken when it should not be, the law usually gives you a refund, a repair or a replacement; if you just change your mind, the shop does not have to take it back, though many do for unused things.

Who acts: something, law, you, shop, many, your · What happens: be, mean, break, give, change, not have · To what, where: refund, you, mind, shop
