===== You open your phone on a random Tuesday and there’s a calm little report: =====

Recovered this week: $184
* $36 “processing fee” reversal
* $89 subscription refund (canceled 14 months ago, still billed)
* $59 price-match you didn’t request

It offers one more:

“Gym is still charging you after cancellation.
Probability of successful refund: 83%.
Estimated time: 6 minutes.
Do you want me to pursue?”

You press yes.

It doesn’t feel like winning the lottery. It feels like discovering you’ve been living in a house with a slow leak—and someone finally turned the wrench.

The really strange part?

After a few months of this, you develop a new sense for companies.
Some feel clean.
Some feel… grabby.

And you stop calling it “customer service.” You start calling it retrieval.
