Move out of the ghetto bro.

Sometimes the ghetto comes to you.

I know. I'm just prodding NS1. Knowing he's around I aim for Asians on scooters

lol that fatty is nonchalantly strolling away with that tv.

When we bought our house, I had the contractors build a wall splitting the front yard so you have to go thru the gate. Makes being a nonchalant thief harder.

My hometown is known to be pretty ghetto. Saw recently on FB someone complaining of a stolen package. It was for UPS pickup and was a vintage pink toilet tank lid. I would have loved to see the face of the person that stole it when they opened it. lol

Coworker who is a part time cop recently had an Amazon box stolen. It was like shaver heads and deodorant. He found the torn open box and all it's content in the woods.

I think it may be more a $ amount. My Chiro got banned for returning too much :). I have to give him a hard time about it.

This.

I believe I was on Amazon's watch list once. Got a funny email that goes "We have noticed you're returning a unusual number of items...we are earth's most customer-centric company...let us know what we're doing wrong."

I don't return a high number of items. I returned a couple high priced items due to pissed poor quality control. There are plenty of $20-30 items that I would like to return, but didn't find it worth the effort.

With that said, do you guys find that the quality of many Amazon items are not as good as the same exact items at a brick and mortar? Maybe they're counterfeits? Maybe they're irregular items that would normally go to the dollar stores? ??? What's annoying is that you get a crappy product when the reviews are great, and then a couple weeks later, the seller emails you fishing for a great review of their product...

don't buy from 3rd parties, problem solved.

Best Buy started tracking returns within the past few years. But they don't ban you from the store, just from doing returns, and they warn you when you're on the verge of crossing the threshold. Also, for those purposes, there is a threshold for how much you have to spend to be considered a customer by the business. It's less than $1000, but still a factor.
