Wow! Sherlock effing Holmes! What did you do, go to t00nces2.com to expose my secret identity? What you just did there and tried to do to me is exponentially more douchebaggy than me returning an occasional new, unopened item purchased at a yard sale to the store for a store credit.Originally Posted by alloy2

If it was, then anyone who said it was theft, was wrong twice.
If you are that convinced it is immoral or illegal, present your case.
Why would it be immoral?
Why would it be illegal?

Yes websites are available that give personal information. I used several recently to find a sick friends parents to get an update on their son. Not hard to do.
Posting that information on a public forum is a dic move....

Dipsheet, you posted your secret identity along with your customers name and email address and telephone number, And you have the nerve to cal me out as being douchebaggy.
I wonder how Pamela Roberts would react to that.

If I take a chance at guessing, it's the "half" stories and running around like a street pimp with a roll of money.
The roll of mney with wa hundr4ed wrapped around a roll of one's.
Just saying, of course.

Definitely don't want to add to the acrimony going on but could i offer a few suggestions ?
I was on my own for sixteen years. Only had one bill during that time that was unpaid. (Got burned for fifty bucks so it wasn't so bad.)
Thing 1: Remember that business is business. It's nothing personal so don't ever take anything personally.
Thing 2: Screen your new customers carefully. Spend a little time getting to know them before you start the job. If it doesn't feel right ... pass them along to someone who would be a better fit for them.
Thing 3: Focus on customer satisfaction. One satisfied customer will happily pay the bill and pass your name along to three of their friends. One dissatisfied customer will tell ten about how unhappy they were with the service you provided.
Thing 4: With men .... it's all about bringing the job in on time and on budget. With women .... you gauge the success of the project by how they " feel " about it at the end of the job.
You probably aren't going to get paid on that one. You're best bet would be to take it all in stride and treat it as a learning experience.Try not to make the same mistake again if you can help it.
There's no profit in grudging over your losses.

This really didn't help the issue we are currently discussing, Hills. Maybe some input on how retail really really hates people returning items?

I would argue this may not ALWAYS be true.
Some stores LOVE people returning stuff. It may not be this way any longer, but the clothing/housewares store "Kohls" used to have the most laxed return policy ever. You could have bought it there 5 years ago, worn it everyday, and then return it without a receipt (for the lowest price that product was ever sold for since without a receipt you cant prove how much you paid for it).
I think this is because with how high the margins are on their clothes vs the cost of advertising/marketing, they are willing to eat whatever the return cost is just to get you into the store (assuming some percent of people that come into the store for the return, would buy something while there), since their cost on that return got you into the store, for less then whatever they calculated it would cost in marketing/commercials/ads/etc to get you into the store. This is also why they do "kohls cash" giving you free money to come back later, because just getting your butt into the store is their biggest/most expensive hurdle (customer acquisition costs)
Plus if a store (especially a clothing store) has a very strict return policy, people are much less likely to make a purchase, since the risk of them not liking it and not being able to return it is greater. With a lax return policy, they can make more sales as people think eh whatever I'll buy it and if I don't like it I'll just return it, no big deal.
So, in summary, I dont think all retail sales hate returns, some actually don't mind them at all, AND every store is different and has different policies and rules about returns that they put lots of thought and effort into. If they allow you to make a return, it is because they wanted to allow you to. You aren't getting one over on them or ripping them off. If anything they may be getting one over on you if when you went to make the return you also purchased a soda and a new cooler while there cause you needed one and were already there (to make the return, whereas if you werent making the return you might have bought your cooler and soda somewhere else). They have this stuff figured out and whole teams of people to look into this stuff (the big stores, a ma and pop store would be different but also would have a much different return policy to go along with their views towards returns)
