Have you ever "rented" something from a department store?

REI return policy is the best.

^ lol last time I was in the Seattle Store they had a 25 year old jacket in the gear loft place (whatever it is called)... because the customer was not satisfied with the zipper becoming kind of sticky and gliding as smooth as the day he bought it

[Mercury[BKM]]

the car was being shipped to wholesale anyway, the GSM at the dealership is the one who we bought the car from. Stuff happens like that ALL the time at dealerships, its one of the "perks" being able to snag stuff from the fish
tank, unless a mechanic or tech hits it first for parts. kick some money to the GM or GSM whoever was involved and its all in the good and kept on the low.

yep, bought a battery tender the other night, couldn;t get my buddy to drop one off, had to buy one. dont have the money to be frivilous so it will be returned.

My partner used to work at a Woolworths (Supermarket) they are a massive chain here in Aus. Anyways one day she comes home and tells me that there return policy has changed. The police was.

"Accept every return"

LOL you could literally go and get a shopping trolly of food. Eat it all then take it all back and say you were not satisfied with food and get your money back.

Never tried it but some of the stories of people bringing back empty bread bags. There was even a lady who just brought back the recept and not the item and got a refund.

^ lol that store is nuts

[stillkotd]

Yeah.... it looks like the title of this thread should be, "Brag about stealing s**t".

Not to be a jerk, but, you reap what you sow.

One time I needed a new keyboard for my old PC, went to Best Buy, bought a microsoft keyboard. My friend needed a keyboard aswell, he asked for the serial, I gave it to them, he called them and said his keyboard with my serial wont work and was asked a few questions so they confirmed it was fucked. They sent him a new keyboard, it was pretty silly. We tried it with a few other companies but Microsoft was the only one that didnt both asking us to send it in.

^^ thats winning against the system right there man!

did a similar thing with a buddy

He had a stock LS integra dc2 with black interior, and we found a GSR with suspension, black leather interior and some other basic mods at a stealership. "bought the car" from a friend who worked there, spent sunday stripping everything out (motor included) and replacing it with his old stuff, and then returned in back to the dealership when his financing fell through since his cosigner couldn't make it in. (spot delivery agreement)

our friend who worked there said that no one ever even noticed, it was sold to a wholesaler later that week.

figured if the lot techs and mechanics can strip out cars from the wholesale lot, we can too

dick move but that's impressive

Northface jacket @ Macy's. I didn't even have the tag on it, just the receipt.

Well, Im still reaping and I will post here when I sow!

Nothing yet????


Are you really concerned for me? I think not! You just are jealous of all the stuff I try out and return! With good reason!

Shit - just because you posted this I am headed to Fry's tonight to pickup the latest doodad and try it out. Wish me luck!


By the way - The definition of stealing is "In common usage, theft is the illegal taking of another person's property without that person's permission or consent" (Quote from wikipedia)

Uhh I not only have the persons consent, but they thank me when I leave for shopping there and hope that I will come back. Then they welcome me with open arms to return that very same item as long as I have a receipt.

Who am I to deprive them of wanting to make someone happy? They seem to enjoy it. So why cant I?

On the topic of the old saying "You reap what you sow"...


That's the problem with old sayings. That's all they are - OLD SAYINGS!

"Oh , put that down or you will put your eye out". Look up the instances in which kids put their eyes out. Almost immeasurable statistic its sooo low.

"Put on a jacket or you will get pneumonia". Shitttt I used to ride my motorcycle when I first moved from warm Southern CA to Northern CA in 38 degree weather with shorts on. (I had no winter gear) oh something else I didnt have - fuckin pneumonia.

This. You can return ANYTHING and don't even have to lie about it.

"Can I ask why you're returning these shoes today?"

"Well, they are 5 years old now and I have worn them hundreds of times and they are falling apart due to being used so much."

"Ok, would you like cash or store credit?"

[Deltron Dirty30]

After running some errands I headed to my local td bank. I told the cute bank teller I was going to blow her brains out if she didn't slip me a thousand doll hairs as I pointed my uzi to her temple. She accidentally gave 1500. Shit was so cash.

Few trips I've forgotten my a/c adaptor for my laptop I've rented one from welfaremart, a gps for a cross country trip as well.
