Costco customers warned they could get banned for too many returns Unsplash: omar abascalA former Costco worker took to TikTok to tell customers why they might be banned for making too many returns, leaving viewers pretty shocked. Costco is a chain beloved by millions for its affordability and great food options. But, perhaps the most renowned thing about the store is its great returns policy. Not long ago, they went viral after allowing a customer to return a $1,400 playground set because his kids \u201cgrew up.\u201d However, a TikToker revealed that there might be a limit to Costco\u2019s generosity, and you might not always be able to take advantage of that coveted refund. \u201cI get questions like this all the time. No matter how many times you return something, they won\u2019t ever really kick you out. They\u2019ll put it on file that you keep trying to return things, and there will be a block in there so it won\u2019t allow you to return anything anymore, but your membership will still be active, you can still use it at the register,\u201d TikToker @psychoz28 revealed. \u201cMy last example was about somebody returning a play set, something like this,\u201d he said. \u201cSo in order to get blocked here, you\u2019d have to do something like returning your electronics every 87 days just to get a new one so you wouldn\u2019t have to actually pay it outright. That would get you blocked. That\u2019s what they would consider something like a pattern of returns.\u201d The TikToker continued: \u201cWhenever you do return something there\u2019s a section at the bottom of the return screen on the employee side that says \u2018reason for return.’\u201d Apparently, most employees will leave this section blank, but if they find the return reason bizarre enough, they\u2019ll fill it in. \u201cFor example, that play set we just saw, you would put in the comments something like, \u2018returned a play set because his kid grew up, be careful of anything he tries to return going forward.\u2019\u201d People were filled with questions after the video was posted, writing: \u201cNow the question is \u2013 what do they do with all these not re-sellable things??\u201d \u201cMy Costco had a guy return a snow blower, then bought a lawn tractor. Return that in fall to buy a new snow plower, repeat cycle till caught,\u201d another said. \u201cMy favorite is the person who returned a live Christmas Tree after Christmas,\u201d one revealed, followed by a laughing emoji. \u201cI saw a lady come in and return a cake she tried to decorate herself. She didn\u2019t like her own design so she returned it. They said it was the 3rd time that day,\u201d another user said. Another woman went viral for her Costco cake story, as she celebrated her whole birthday there for only $30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
