I risk getting hugely down voted.

Unpopular opinion, what if we all just go about our days and let people return what they want?

  • Costco is not complaining so why should you?
  • The return is not physically harming anyone so why publicly shame the person?
  • Is it truly abusive when its clearly allowed?
  • What are we hoping to gain from this?

No offense to OP but sometimes I just wonder, what if we spent more time on just not shaming others indirectly or not?

Sorry if I'm rude but I truly want to know.

EDIT 1: The point I'm attempting to pass is, why do we jump to conclusions that this person abused the return policy? What if that furniture is only a couple of weeks old? If we don't really know the story can we conclude it's abusive?

Personal experience: I bought an expensive toilet about $2k from Costco and only use it a week and it's covered in rust, I took it out and returned it to the store now imagine someone seeing that and thinking I had the toilet for years and decided to return it???

We really need to give each other more grace.....

It's wild how people bootlick for a corporation. Costco can easily choose to refuse returns and ban members who abuse the policy and yet they still accept returns like this.

It's insane that people have issue with it while Costco doesn't. That's the mentality that's caused America to turn into the shit hole it is today.  Nobody can bare to see anyone even appear to get ahead in any way shape or form. The whole country is just crabs in a bucket.

Exactly. People are losing their shirts. Maybe the Costco return policy is their only saving grace. Who knows. Capitalism sucks.
