Ok wait, was it your mom that lost the receipt or the customer service rep?
If your mom lost the receipt, what the customer service representative did for you was more than fair and you don't have much grounds for complaining. Had you had your receipt there would have been more that they could have done for you, and they would have likely given you your full refund willingly. However, without the receipt (AKA PROOF OF PURCHASE) you don't have evidence that you purchased the item at regular price, nor do you have proof that you even purchased the item at all or with future shop. There are many people that try (and successfully find) loopholes to return policies, and for that reason companies need to draw limits to the extent that they will go in order to "satisfy" a customer or else they'd constantly be losing money.
The company that I work for has the same policy and I think that it's very VERY lenient considering that there are certain companies with less flexible policies.
The lesson is: KEEP YOUR RECEIPT!
However, if it's the customer service rep that lost YOUR receipt and didn't provide you with the full service that future shop offers, then that wasn't a good move on her behalf, and you should probably speak with her manager.
