I actually wonder how illegal this actually is... Return Policy are all about competetion between stores.

People want to be able to easily take back items when they want to. Stores want to come off as having great service. It is the reason Walmart has a 90days - no questions asked Return Policy. They don't ask meaning that they are willing to give your money back for any reason.

it has to do with deception and things along that line.

So is you escaping from your mental institution, but I'm not crying about it.

:wink;

You are a tough kid, it's not many that can walk in mid donkey punch on your mother and ask if she can make you a hot pocket.

Well having your mom on the leash walking behind me gave me that extra bit of confidence, cutie.

Your mom isn't into animal sex...don't lash out that she canceled your WoW account since it cut into her crack budget.

No it's not. Their return policy says you can return it if you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase for any reason.

I never could do that stuff, I sweat, get nervous, etc. . . I'm a polyographer's dream - I couldn't tell a lie to save my soul :{

So don't lie. Just tell them it cost too damn much. I see no problem here.

I don't see the problem if you return the new one when you receive it. The store isn't out any money and still has a sellable product.

Most are not going to be returning their new one as most aren't buying a replacement doing this often

if you are a DIRTBAG feel free to enjoy a free lease on goods and except to pay more then next time you come back.

no reason to rage. The poor will always exist and think they have it all figured out.

Buying something with intent to return it is very different than trying it and not being satisfied.

well if you follow the losers in the thread we should be entitled to buy something we didn't intend to keep so that we can use it termporarily.

They define 100% money back guarantee with this little loophole.

Uh, if they had a problem with it, they would change it. Many places have, and many of them are no longer around.

It's called the price of doing business. Welcome to America!:D

It's also a little thing we have called ethics and why with all these people for questionable nationality have forced this as a class in professional studies.

What the heck does nationality have to do with it? You really need to pay a visit to some of the managers of the stores around the Boca, or Miami area. You really can't believe that only the poor take advantage of this?

What is your point? That you are a dumbass and feel like you have justification for doing something you know is unethical just because you can?

I thought I was quite clear in my point. I see no problems!!! It is well within their return policy. If they had a problem with it, they would change their terms. Unethical? Please get real.

The following is what I consider to be unethical:

1) Walking in and just taking what you want, without paying for it.

2) Returning a toy you bought your kid over 8 months ago that he broke, and now you want a refund. What killed me, the manager gave it to her!

3) Giving yourself a several million dollar bonus, even though you know you destroyed the company.

This ain't even close.
