BuckWrestler141 vs. Shoe Store (need advice on who is in the wrong)

Yesterday I bought a pair of tennis shoes, I get home and there are two different shoes in the box. I call the manager from my house (the store is 35 minutes away). I tell the manager that I live an hour away and that i'll need some gas compensation to have to take my time and with gas prices to return the shoe. He says no and appologizes.
I tell the manager, well I guess the two shoes look pretty good together, so i'll just wear them unmatching. He says you don't want to do that. I tell him well is there anything that could be done with the shoe? He says no and that it was a mistake that he is sorry for. I just say, well thats no big deal, I'm just going to keep it the way it is, it's no big deal, thank you.
He tells me how they will be short out of a shoe if I don't come to exchange it, so i appologized and let him know maybe someone else will want unmatching shoes and thanked him for his time and hung up.

It appears as if we are both going to lose this battle, any advice, I want some free stuff. Whats the next move?
 
First and foremost, they are the ones in the wrong for putting the wrong shoe(s) in the box. Now this clown doesn't want to compensate you for your time and trouble of having to come back to their piece of shit store to correct the fuckup that they made, yet he wants you to come in to keep them from being short a shoe. Fuck them. Tell dipshit that if he doesn't compensate you for at least the cost of gas for the 70-minute roundtrip, you will have to contact the local Better Business Bureau office.

The complete lack of customer service anymore blows my mind. See if they can ship you a pair of matching shoes and have the odd pair shipped back on their dime. If they are unwilling or unable to do this, contact corporate. Either way, I wouldn't be too eager to go there again. I'm sure you could get these shoes elsewhere next time....let them know that.

I don't know that I would have even thought of the fact that you now essentially have two of their pairs of shoes. I would think though, that if for no other reason that they would do what they could to make things right. No one really seems to care too much about that anymore though.

Take your receipt just in case though.

And if the bloody fingerprints on the steel shoe size measurer are matched, and you are jailed, write an angry book during your bitter incarceration...

You're perfectly free to keep the two different shoes - certainly not your fault the shoe store fucked up, but you're free to accept what you got. You're negotiation about whether they pay for gas is fine as well, but their refusal to pay for your gas is likewise fine.... they just don't get the shoes back. Tell em, if you really want the shoes back, then bring a new pair that match to my house, and you can pick up these shoes, since you won't pay for me to do the driving, send one of your lackies to me.

Indeed. The only mistake you are making is in not realizing it was intentional. They are sitting around the store at this very moment, laughing at you and your two different shoes. When people glance at you on the street, they are relatives of the store employees. Are you going to let them get away with it??

And if they don't have lackeys, then minions are good too.
