<p>I have this friend who buys things and then returns them. Her whole family does this in fact. They return almost EVERYTHING they buy within a month: clothing, furniture, movies, books etc etc. I don't understand why they do this either. Isn't this bad for the economy?</p>
<p>Yes, but one family is going to make a small difference in our overall economy. I agree what she is doing is wrong because it hurts the business of the store.</p>
<p>well yeah, it is dishonest if they buy things with the intention to rent</p>
<p>i dunno if any of us have a duty to not hurt the economy though</p>
<p>Wow thats such a good idea..i'll try it. eh but with clothes i wouldnt wanna return them. lol.</p>
<p>what material things does this family have?</p>
<p>the loophole is that you don't recoup the money you spent on tax, right?</p>
<p>Sure it's a bad thing to do, but you can't really do anything about it, can you? Notifying someone would be even worse and you can't really prove it.</p>
<p>Ya Morals!!!!</p>
<p>Returning books is fun.</p>
<p>At costco, you can return things, even when you've had it for years and its broken. You dont even need a receipt. At least at the costco we go to.</p>
<p>^ don't crack the spines...</p>
<p>finishing books in the bookstore settled in a comfy armchair with a coffee in hand and soft music in the background is funner</p>
<p>^ I do the same at B&N.</p>
<p>^When I do that, I'm thinking that at least I'm paying for the cookie and coffee...</p>
<p>Restocking fee much?</p>
<p>*more fun </p>
<p>1-10</p>
<p>Guys, you just GAVE ME A PERFECT IDEA WHAT TO DO WITH THE REST OF MY SUMMER!!!</p>
<p>well, they put the sofas there. Their problem.</p>
<p>I don't see anything morally wrong with that. That's just amazingly cheap.</p>
<p>For those that are reading in B&N: Such a shame is bestowed upon you guys! (C)</p>
