This is typical of the self-serving rhetoric that CTers have spouted here for years.
There is no reason to think that there is a flood of complaints from customers, about others who are “abusing the privilege” of lenient return policies. Sure, there is the occasional person on Red Flag Deals, who thinks some people are causing problems in the is way. But that’s hardly “every site”, and hardly the norm.
In fact, people are generally pleased with the lenient policies of the majority of big stores, including Costco, but also Walmart and other.
No, the real source of complaints about Crappy Tire’s policies is that they are so restrictive and stingy, especially when compared to other stores.
But I guess it’s different if you are on the other side of the counter, like Sangria/Angry-CT-Guy. For them, every return is lost revenue, which is going to eat into their precious profits. No wonder they are trying so hard to trick consumers!
