Google offers user €30 'hush money' for EU warranty law violation

A Reddit user stated they sent their Pixel 8 for warranty repair due to green-line issue, which Google confirmed was covered under warranty. However, Google refused to start the repair unless the user paid €153 for unrelated cosmetic damage, reportedly illegal act under EU rules. User said, on pointing it out, Google offered €30 Google Store coupon as "hush money".
