I bought a Macbook Pro yesterday and be as unlucky as I am. Water got spilled on it and now it wont work. Is there a 30 day money back kind of thing or will they replace it. Does the warranty cover anything to fix it?

Sorry but what you just bought you turned into a Door Stop.
No the warranty does not cover accidents. You will need to have it fixed at your own expense or just buy another.

not what i wanted to hear but thanks. Theres no way to like, Hey I bought this yesterday and it isnt working?
I've lost a lot of phones in water in my time, and if u open them up and leave them to dry for two months or longer (without turning them on) then for some magical reason some of them have worked just fine. Your mbp is most likely dead, but wait a couple of months before u buy a new one and check if it works if u cant get it repaired.
This may sound stupid but if you put it in rice for a night or two it should dry it right up. Thats how ive fixed a few phones with water damage.
Hopefully that will work with your mac 🙂
The "rice in a bag" trick only works if the water was just water, not something flavored, sugared or otherwise enhanced.
If it doesn't work, the repairs may cost more than you paid for it; logic board, keyboard, cabling, the optical drive, maybe the hard drive.
The only option you have at this point is homeowners'/renters' insurance. Many cases of accident computer damage have turned out to be covered, subject to whatever deductible you have. Put your insurance carrier on notice ASAP.

Ethics, my friend, ethics. We have to take responsibility for our actions.
Plus you're asking in a forum sponsored by Apple.
I bought a Macbook Pro 13" yesterday.
