Pink Truth is, yet again, trying to make Mary Kay look bad because of their policies.  If this rule was not in place, they would be complaining about how Mary Kay doesn't do anything to stop the "thieves" in Mary Kay that "borrow" product but never return the favor, or trade old, poorly stored product for new, properly stored product.

This is a simple, genius way of handling the situation.  The other consultant doesn't get taken advantage of, your customer gets her product and you (hopefully) order more of that product the next time you place an order.
