Sally works as a manager in the gardening section of her local Bunnings Store. Recently, Sally was approached by a customer asking questions about the store's range of built in kitchens. Although she knew nothing about the products, Sally recommended the deluxe kitchen package which came with free installation. After completing the sale, Sally handed the customer her Bunnings business card (which identified her as a manager), explained that the customer should get his new kitchen professionally installed and to forward her the 3^rdparty's invoice - which Bunnings would pay. A few weeks later, the customer is shocked to learn that Bunnings is refusing to pay his carpenter's $10,000 invoice and that Sally failed to mention that the offer was capped at $500.
