They must be pretty horrible customers to get banned from the store. Of course, we see the usual; "Not me! I didn't do anything to deserve this."

[Freedom4US]

Is this for real, or something from the Onion??

Stores apparently have the right to evict customers because, technically, a store is private property and retailers are not required to sell to every willing buyer. Still, a store eviction is a very rare occurrence

Either the author can't write a sentence, or he just found about private property is really upset about the whole idea.

Look out Marshalls. They're comin' for you now.

My guess is that these two kooks contacted the newspaper to further their agenda against the store. GET OVER IT, SIS..

I've only had a quick look at a Filene's store, but what I saw was enough. The clothes were crushed into overflowing racks and full of wrinkles. The quality was the cheapest. Is this typical of Filene's or was it an aberration?

I was refused a refund once and was so upset about it, I refuse to return to the store. Its a little Mom and Pop Country Western clothing store. I went in there, dropped alot of money on an outfit. The owner fully assured me the jeans would not shrink. Well, after one washing, they shrank so much I couldnt even button them. The store refused to return the pants. I might as well have walked in there, opened my wallet, said "Here! I have some extra money! You want it cause I sure dont!"

Two low-lifes with no life abuse store policy and its employees.

If this wasn't so amusing, it would be pathetic.

These are buyer Sisters from Hell. We have all seen people like them.

I agree with the store. Who needs ya.

[brianl703]

Presumably they gave the sisters a tresspass warning. If so:

"Trespass warnings may not be enforceable across city or county lines making blanket banishment from all stores within a chain meaningless."

Technically ? Something is, technically private property ? Only in Boston, maybe.

[MinuteGal]

These sisters from hell are not your everyday shoppers. They're nutty obsessive/compulsives who fastened their compulsions to one store. It's like a Japanese tea ceremony for them. Every shopping trip, every return, every dust-up with staff, is all part of a satisfying ritual.

These women are teched in the haid. If Marshall's is smart, it'll refuse them service also. We all pay for nutcases like this.

I'll bet when these two weirdo women shuffle off this mortal coil, the authorities will find old newspapers stacked to the ceilings, mounds of cobwebbed musty clothes and countless starving cats in every room of a run-down mansion somewhere. Just like in the movies.

This is one of the funniest posts in a while. I would have banned them years ago. No way can Filene's make money off such lunatics ...... Instead they lose money. These two sisters have an obsession and need a psychiatrist.

Returns are OK. Unreasonable number of returns are not OK

Samuel J. Gerson, CEO of Filene's Basement, dies at 61

Sounds to me like they were using Filene's as their personal closet. I.E. Wearing clothes for a day and then returnig them. Quite a few people do that. Particularly women who need a gown for a ball.
