PFB Latest Headlines (5-05-09): Target Relaxes Return Policy (sort of)

I really dont think this is going to do anything. People who retuen
things, will always believe they are right. It doesnt matter what
amount they are allowed to return.

Maybe I should start practicing my speech now. This $70 total is going
to be confusing for everyone involved.

Well, whatever. People are still going to complain when they exceed
that, so I don't know how much help this will be. I guess we'll see.

until I see how it plays out.

1) It could be a good thing, make for easier returns...

or

2) It could end up encouraging people to try even harder to return
items illegally.

By "illegally" I mean items that have been well used or used for
years, or items they only intended to use once, or boxes of rocks.

(cos target isn't a pawn shop, or a rental store... and the recent
box-of-rocks incident from Walmart proves that some people will try to
return junk just to scam some free money).

so... yeah... holding back any cheers or jeers for now.

I also keep my receipts, but realize not everyone is as attentive to
the importance of it. While I concur Target's old policy was
"refreshing," I understand that with so many complaints they relaxed
it slightly.

Kudos to Target for listening to the voice of the consumer, and
backing off the restrictions of the policy.

This is good news...and all it took was some re-progrmming on their
part to be able to look up purchases (exception cash).

I think this is a breakthrough and although I did not have any issue
with keeping my receipt for the 90 days it will be a pleasure to
(hopefully) see less and less complaint letters in here regarding
Target's return policy.
