<p>My friend and I were having a conversation about fraud. He works at Wal-Mart and says that it is so easy to return items. Like you buy an item, use it, and return it. I am just curous how many people do this and do you think it constitutes fraud?</p>
<p>In my opinion, I think if the store is stupid enough to take back the merchandise, then that is their fault. It is not like you are signing a paper saying that the merchandise is defective. You just go in the line, give them your receipt, say you didn't need the items, and that is it.</p>
<p>if you use the item you shouldn't return it.
if there's a reason for returning it, there's nothing wrong with taking it back, but don't buy something with the intent of using and returning it.</p>
<p>That is why most stores DONT take back stuff already open/with tags off. I will say that I have done that before, used something and then taken it back, and I would have no qualms doing it at wal-mart (because they are EVIL and DESERVE IT) but I don't think it should generally be done.</p>
<p>It's wal mart. They own half of the world (other half is owned by Microsoft) jk jk but yeah, they are rich they don't care. Long as you dont make a habit out of it sure, why not (i guess if you are desperate for something for a short period of time) My bro once did buy a PS controller from a guy who worked in Target on Amazon and realized it didn't work.. so he bought another one from target, switched the controller and returned that item saying it doesn't work. (well they both came from target so I guess it doesn't really matter??)</p>
