As long as they have their valid receipt, we have to take it. <BR/><BR/>But the excuses, like "It has a hole in it" for a tent and "It didn't work" for the xmas tree gets a 'riiiiiiiiiiiight' look from me. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes I just want to punch people in the face...

(We had to have a certain kind of camera and my el cheapo WALMART one wouldn't cut it.) When I returned it, the guy was like, "You didn't even try it out!

Its been my undestanding (I may be wrong so please correct me) that wal-mart actually budgets for these types of losses, both returns that they can't resell and thefts. I don't know how much but I don't think it matters. You know they are making so much more than they are losing, and until this type of behavior hits the higher ups in the pocket book, the return policy will be loose as a goose!<BR/><BR/>but look at the bright side, bbc american will have a blog for much longer, and that makes me smile! :)DolfanDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03082471172265500477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815729.post-52028714366608324372007-08-07T13:55:00.000-04:002007-08-07T13:55:00.000-04:00"I keep reading your blog and wonder when Walmart ..."I keep reading your blog and wonder when Walmart is going to wake up and stop accepting returns like this."<BR/><BR/>I'm amazed at what they'll put up with as well. My only theory is that they get SO MUCH legitimate business from the people who pull stunts like this that it makes up for them occasionally renting power tools at no cost from the store. In other words, the terry clothed wonder probably buys enough cheap plastic crap in a year that she doesn't return to cover well above the cost of labor it took for our poor hostess here to refund them for perfectly good power tools. If they started pissing the annoying liars off in greater numbers, business might take an unacceptable dive. Eh, just a theory anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815729.post-36141107828407476172007-08-07T13:25:00.000-04:002007-08-07T13:25:00.000-04:00I keep reading your blog and wonder when Walmart i...I keep reading your blog and wonder when Walmart is going to wake up and stop accepting returns like this.<BR/><BR/>While I'm all for a customer-friendly return policy, stuff like this is just crazy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815729.post-47623503787861336122007-08-07T09:03:00.000-04:002007-08-07T09:03:00.000-04:00The terry cloth outfit description cracked me up!!...The terry cloth outfit description cracked me up!! we had a woman come in our store was leaning over the layaway counter and all I could think of was if that elastic goes we're all dead.
