Woman demands full refund from Costco for 'dead' Christmas tree
BY CAITLYN HITT
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Wednesday, January 10, 2018, 1:32 PM
Rather than toss her undecked Christmas tree in the trash, one not-so-jolly Californian headed to Costco for a refund.
According to a now-viral Facebook post from an eye witness cited by WFLA, the woman in question arrived at the Santa Clarita, Calif., store on Jan. 4 with her dead tree in tow demanding that she get her money back because it didn't stay lush and green for as long as expected.
"I CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP…Yesterday Jan 4, 2018 at my Costco. Shame on Costco, Shame on this loser, but it's going to start costing all of us when the word gets out….," the post began.
"Woman in line at Costco totally nonchalant, to return her Christmas Tree "because it is dead" on January 4th. I saw the whole thing go down with my own two eyes about 30 minutes ago. If I didn't see it, I wouldn't believe that someone had so little moral values or lack of conscience."
The kicker? Per the Facebook status, the woman was granted a full refund for the dead tree, though it wasn't without a little push-back from store employees.
"IT WAS QUESTIONED, VERIFIED PURCHASE ON HER ACCOUNT AND SHE WAS SHAMMED (SIC) TO A SMALL DEGREE…," the post read.
They jury is still out on whether this is genius or absolutely ridiculous.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Genius AND ridiculous, I say, though I would have guessed it was a prank because the looks on the Cosco employees faces must have been priceless. But apparently this chick was 100 percent serious. Costco got caught without a clear policy on this sort of thing? I would imagine corporate is straightening them out now.
Though, I've heard..back before he got snipped, Things returned a used condom to CVS because it was wet, full of splooge and smelled like sh*t and fish.

Abouts 8 or 10 years ago we bought a prelit artificial Christmas tree at Costco, was the best looking tree we have ever had. The third season we set it up there was some lights that would not light up. I happen to mention it to an Costco employee I was chatting with and he said with a straight face and conviction to return it and they would happily refund the $350, the guy also mentioned that the worst return he had seen was some guy who returned a 10 year old mattress.
So they do have a clear policy in place which is they will take anything back other then electronics after 90 days.
We replaced if with a $50 close out tree and spent the rest of the cash on mini egg rolls.

They'll eat it and like it. We replaced if with a $50 close out tree and spent the rest of the cash on mini egg rolls.

Years ago some crackheads mother died and left him her house. Over the next six months he would show up at the Home Depot with whatever he could rip out of the house to return so he could get high that night. Lights, faucets, hardwood flooring that had been installed, you name it, he brought it back. The last thing I remember him bringing back was all the outlet covers and light bulbs. That still wasn't the worst. Some guy called a lumber company I worked for and said his toilet was broke. A guy that had to weigh 400lbs shows up and put the toilet on the counter.......covered in shit. Fucking people are nasty.

My buddy whos a contractor told me that years ago about Home Depot... get the right store and they'll take back anything. I do have to ask why someone would bring a toilet to a lumber company though?

Maybe it was full of logs.

We sold it to him. Most lumberyards a have a limited supply of building supplies.

In high school, I worked in Playworld in Rockville Centre. Dude returned a basketball he claimed he bought last week.
All the little "pebbles" on the surface of the ball had been worn down; scuff marks everywhere, and it was model that hadn't been carried in a year.
It was taken back and a credit issued.
True story, unfortunately.
