Some retailers, including Sports Authority and The Limited are using a computer database to track customer returns. When shoppers make a return, cashiers at these stores swipe their drivers licenses, which allows them to see how often shoppers return items and dollar amounts of their returns. The Retail Equation, which maintains these databases for many merchants, says on its website that the database is intended to identify consumers whose behavior indicates return fraud or abuse, including wardrobing, and alerts the shops when the store's return limit is exceeded.

" cashiers at these stores swipe their drivers licenses" LOL! Giving away my age here -- but, that one made me "do a double-take"! (I remember when "swipe" meant "steal"... '-)
