Negotiate bills, handle returns and cancel subscriptions
Muse challenge lore from Meta folks: AT&T bill talked down, Amazon returns queued, IKEA furniture sent back, vet claim filed, dusty book-club sub killed with refund. One thread’s running total: ~$2,121—treat as anecdote, not audited.
Comparing products, prices and delivery options is slow work for a human and fast work for an agent. Cases like this show agents doing the legwork before anything gets bought. It is one of 75 sightings filed under Shopping on Agent Sightings (number 2 by interest), and one of 35 involving Meta Muse.
