Well, that's part of the problem, the person behind the counter is basically working for wages and couldn't care less how much it costs the store as long as he gets paid.Eric wrote:

But like I said, this horse is dead. Let's stop beating it. If someone feels comfortable taking advantage of a store's return policy, it's really not my concern. (unless they are going to the store with me.)

It's not something I would do, but if you are OK with it, as I said earlier, who am I to judge. Sorry I brought it up.Lord Of Ruin wrote:Interesting take on things, JK.
You are certainly entitled to your own ethical take on things, my conscience is clear. You made a couple leaps in your logic that I didn't give as facts.
I do not USE things and then return them. You implied this by saying it's analogous to buying clothing for a one time event, then returning after use. In that case, the item is no longer in the same condition legally.
I PURCHASED the items from the retailer. They in no way "financed" my logistics. I've never tried to circumvent any retailers process on returns; their policy dictates whether it's in my interest to purchase extras of a given item or not. They had the full use of my money while I had possession of the item. I make no claim on any interest or other profit they made off my financing THEM while I had their stock.
The ironic thing about this whole thread is that many of the items I purchase extras of are actually so that I can finance the unpreparedness of OTHERS. I am on playa for approx. 3 weeks, so other staff often run out of things like filters, batteries, etc. It's simply easier to have these on hand to gift for myself and others. I suppose I could say "Oh, sorry...only got my own. But let me hop in the truck to Reno." or work harder at my crystal ball gazing so I know precisely what I'll need...or even simply doing without when I run....oh what the fuck am I saying.
You sir or ma'am need to revisit the economics and mechanisms of modern retail commerce.
On the off chance, you were trying to make this into a troll post...you got me! Good one! Hahahaha!
