Was she one of the ‘protected classes’?

She didn’t hold a gun to their head for her money back. They didn’t have to refund her. Choices.

I don’t know which is worse - the fact the woman tried to return it or that Costco actually did the return.
As much as retails denies it, there are times when the customer is never right. This appears to be one of those.

Wonder what the odds are she voted for Hillary and not Trump?

My daughter works at a service desk for a large grocery/home center type store.
They look for scams but for the most part take back what people return. They know the chronic scammers by sight and actually ban them from the store.

I remember january 2nd, 2000 at costco. There was a HUGE return line. The items I saw over and over again:
Peanut butter
dried beans
potato chips
gasoline powered generators.
It was hilarious.
If you’re wondering why, look closely at the date. And look up Y2K.

My sister used to work at Costco in Hawaii. She told me that Costco used to sell Christmas Trees in Hawaii, and they were extremely expensive to get them over there. After Christmas the locals did this exact same thing ... took the trees back to Costco and got refunds. Ever since then Costco stopped selling Christmas trees in Hawaii. My bet is that Costco will stop selling Christmas trees in LA, and maybe across all stores if this spreads.

I once saw a man return a pair of tennis shoes to Wal-Mart that were absolutely worn out to a frazzle. They were muddy, stained and torn. They gave him his money back. This was when Sam Walton was still alive.....................

Rhetorical question, right?
Who else would have the audacity to even think of such a scumbag action?

100%. Only a liberal could be so greedy, selfish and devoid of moral character.

You can discern the race of the individual from the picture.
I would probably give her the money just to avoid having to listen to the Jabber Monkey for the next two hours.
I suspect she was throwing around the melanin privilege pretty heavily.

Our local Giant will let you return anything for a cash refund. My kiddo worked there at the indoor bank branch and does she have some tales!

Does it become a right now?
Can we do this with all our plants, including flowers?
L. L. Bean has the eternal replacement policy on their clothes but I could never bring myself to use it, because A: I can never find the damn receipt and B: There is something not right about returning 10 year old pants.

She got her $60 back, but Costco got a lot of good publicity in return. Very few people are as shameless as that woman, but will now feel safe shopping at Costco knowing that they are not going to get stuck.
