Tik Tok has made stupid stupid, all to be an influencer.

Wonder how many christmas trees will be returned today, and I wouldn't doubt some idiot will try to return a real christmas tree.

That tree pictured is not the tree in that box. The box is way too small for the pictured tree.

It's not a "hack."

Low IQ "influencers" are calling everything a "hack" because the word evokes images of high IQ tech wizards.

But for decades women have been buying clothes, wearing them for parties, and then returning them.

Chatting with a floor manager at Costco a few weeks ago, he said they’d had someone return a THREE YEAR OLD Christmas tree a day or two prior.

I watched a Walmartian Witch get bitten on the ass at a Walmart trying to play this trick. She had two very expensive blowup mattresses that had been opened, obviously used for company visiting for the week and crammed back in the box. When she put them on the counter the guy looked at them and then the receipt. Sorry ho, these can’t be returned. Says so right on the receipt. Obviously, Walmart has caught on to that trick. I cracked up. I have an ex-DIL who used to pull that trick. She always got away with it. Pissed me off.

If the retailer does not like customers returning items, they can change their returns policy.

The worst I’d done was return an old unused Bowflex to Costco. I’d heard there was a recall on the model and thought I’d take advantage of it.

Back when we had a JC Penny warehouse outlet, there was a large selection of wedding dresses. Ladies were known to buy/order their dresses, had them fitted of course, then not accept them. They’d later go to the outlet and buy it for real cheap when it was put on the rack. I did see the wedding dresses rack so believe that’s true.

Walmart should sue them for tortious interference of business. Put an end to their lowlife influence right quick.

I might return a tree this year for the first time. Once out of the box, it looked so pathetic. I was overcharged for a cheap piece of garbage, and I want my money back.

Potential policy: if you buy Christmas stuff before Christmas, you can’t return after Christmas.

I absolutely despise and detest people who do this kind of thing.

Many years ago, we had an awesome store in my area (Lechmere’s...some of you may recognize the name) and it had the absolute best return policy. No questions asked, and even if you didn’t have the receipt, they would accommodate you.

Then, back in the Nineties, it became a thing where people would buy cameras to take on vacation with them, and return the when they came home. They would buy televisions, and return them after some big game.

Those good people went out of business because of scumbags like these.

I despise them.

Simple solution is to not allow any returns after December 20.

I guess they failed to see the irony of doing this on a Christmas tree. Perhaps they ought to read about the man underlying the holiday.

Good lesson;

Men, caveat emptor!
