Is this a evil thing to do or am i just brilliant?

You know how every store gives you are reset for what you had just purchased? I had a thought that if I could buy all this stuff and keep it till I am done with it and return it with out breaking the package I could save a ton of money. Is this wrong? Am I a bad person for wanting to do this?

You are very smart 25
You are the worst kind of person 16
This is clever but immoral 36
You fiend! 12
No you are evil 12
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    There's usually a limit on how long you after purchase you can return it, and I doubt you'd be able to return it in perfectly resaleable condition.

    Your poll needs an option for us to vote that you're a bit of a moron.

    And it's "receipt" not "reset".

    • I also wanted to vote that its a stupid idea but there was no option for that. If you do decide to do this, make sure you put rocks or something in the box so it doesnt feel empty.

    • I am not a moron. Also I have seen people perfectly reseal something and put it back and you can not tell they did anything. It is not a hard trick.

        That's not what makes you a moron. It's more "Guys, I just discovered grass is green. AM I BRILLIANT OR WHAT???" that does.

        you know you aren't the first person to do that. people have online vids where they have bought ipods, taken it out, replaced some weight, shrunk wrap it, and returned it to the store for a full refund.
        or they buy some expensive things, then report their credit card stolen the next day for a full refund(can't do that one too often though)

    Firstly, you're way behind in discovering this idea. Secondly, being so far behind in discovering this idea, you fail to realize there are procedures and policies in place to thwart people like you.

    Larger stores typically scan your ID when you return something. They keep track of you, bub. Both large and small stores will notice, one way or another, if you are returning tons of things and when it gets to a suspicious point you will probably be banned from the store.

    Electronics like CD's, DVD's and video games usually have certain kinds of stickers or tape on them that once you pull it off, there's no putting it back on and most stores don't refund cash for opened electronics anyway. They usually will only replace the product with the same product. Ah, and before you get excited and say you'll just return the new, unopened product...wait, they OPEN the replacement before giving it to you so you can't do that. They caught onto that eons ago. So you're back to square one.

    There's far better ways to save money than this. You, sir, ARE a moron. If for nothing else than you thought this was an original, new idea. Let alone the scumbaggedry of it all.

    So I just had this idea, and I'm either brilliant or evil! Either way I'm a genius!! So, 2 friends are being held in a jail cell, and one could pretend to be sick. Now (brace yourself) when the guard opens the cell to check on him...

    (ready for it?)
    They jump him and take the keys & escape!!

    Behavior like this is what creates the policies everyone hates. People abuse the idea of reasonable accommodation and it ruins truly good return policies. Many stores will only issue store credit because of it. At some point you will realize that there is no brilliance in being a cheat. Maybe not.

    I knew someone who "bought" a suit for a wedding, wore it for the event, took it to the cleaners and returned it the following day.

          Precisely. It was a pretty expensive suit so he probably thought it more convenient and cheaper to have it cleaned instead of renting it.
          I think that you have to be at least shameless to pull this kind of stuff. I couldn't. I'm not a survivor.

    You are definitely the opposite of brilliant. This is such a stupid plan and I can tell you that millions and millions of people before you have thought of it, and millions of people after you will try it.

    DOES NOT WORK. Trust me, Walmart is smarter than an idiot like you will ever be. xD I agree with Darkoil, you sound really simple. Kinda like you were hit with stupid branches on the way down the tree.

    And what the hell is a reset, stupid? You're poll doesn't have an option for us to call you a stupid dumbass. So I just wont vote at all. (:

            Talking that way to other people of your religion is one thing. Talking to everybody that way comes across as pushy and condescending to me. It's rude to assume that strangers are the same religion as you, and given that being called "my child" by strangers makes some people really uncomfortable, it's kind of inconsiderate to keep doing it anyway.

              It's just disturbing that someone in some sort of "religious position of power" actually believes that they can talk down to someone like that. NO, I am not your child. NO, I am not related to you in any way. NO, I do not believe you are at all influential; to be quite honest I think you have been brainwashed at a very young age and I pity you.

            • No I am not saying same religion. I am saying some religious people talk that way because how they see things. Like mothers of age 40 referring to anyone 20 and down as a child. It is a point of view. I am very use to this since I know religious people who speak in this manner. So I do not find it strange.
              Child is like those you are teaching. Sister is like Sister Mary and Father is what you call a catholic priest. This manner sounds Catholic.

      • We are all in the family of almighty God. I assume that I am older than most here so I call them child. Or son or daughter if I know there gender. People that are my age I call brother or sister.

          Personally, I wouldn't be comfortable with being called "sister" either, to be honest. It implies a level of emotional intimacy that I don't have with strangers and acquaintances. When somebody who I'm not close to calls me something like that, I don't feel that my boundaries are being respected.

          Some people have very different thoughts than you so don't go around preaching anonymously like you are right now. Yes, it's a condscending way to act and someone that is in the apparent position you are should realize that.

              That's not what I'm saying. You're free to believe in whatever you'd like; but there's a big difference between openly "pushing it" on people and keeping it to yourself. Some people may not like the whole "brother, sister, son, daughter" just comes off a little too personal.
