If they offer an all-you-can-eat appetizer, Imma order one — and everybody can share it!

We took back a new microwave to Walmart. They said we had to send it back to the manufacture. It said on the box to bring it back to the store.

We were in line with about 10 people. My husband was furious and pointed this out. After several minutes the stubborn clerk called the manager and they agreed to take it.

Lesson learned.

In a big box store I’m familiar with, a customer brought back a toilet...used. Sometimes riding mowers or snow throwers are brought back after a season of use. Tools are brought back after use. I heard a customer brought back automotive tires to a store that never sold tires. More often than not, customers demand, management capitulates. There are unreasonable customers. There are customers who scam.

One can only hope she spends a big commission on a trip to Disney World for her most likely horrible kids. Then the buyer of the home backs out due to a technicality at the last minute.

I’m a Costco member and I’ve never had to return anything I’ve bought there. Costco can and should tighten up their return policy to prevent this kind of abuse. The costs incurred by accepting used furniture from people like this will be passed on to the rest of us who hold Costco memberships.

Costco is a trusted business and I don't like to see the most generous and accommodating return service I've observed anywhere abused. If that abuse is encouraged by this success Costco may have to adjust their policy for everyone.

A friend of mine used to work in the “returns” dept at LL Beans. (Lost her to a complications of surgery, years ago.)
Anyhow...
They never say no, or at least have that reputation.
She opened a box that had a jacket in it that had been
sprayed by a skunk!
Beans allowed the return.

She told me a hilarious story about a lady who bought some winter tights
that kept slipping down every time she shifted gears driving to work.
Slipping down on first one side, then the other.
At a traffic light she lifted up her body trying to pull them up.
The man in the car next to her was, well, real
interested in the moves she was making!

By the time she got to work, the crotch of the tights were
a little below the hem of her skirt!
This was written in a letter, and was just so funny!
Wish I could remember it all!

If you still have the box and packing materials they might take it back.

This is why we can’t have nice things.
