If you are specifically told that the returned item is just going to be thrown out and you’re such a cheap lazy prick you still need the $15, it definitely is. Just get a life and use the shampoo or donate it to someone who needs it.

Wasting perfectly good stuff is gross and in poor taste.

Imagine wasting an hour to go return minor bullcrap for a measley $15. Wow, your time and lives are kinda worthless.

Or imagine needing to go to Target for something and spending 2 minutes returning something on your way in.

As the consumer, I am not responsible for Target’s return policy. They have instituted a policy that costs less than a possible lawsuit or bad press.

Or is it possible that the items can be reshelved but require some steps before doing so and the store manager decides it’s too much bother so says toss them.

Stop wasting so much energy policing and feeling guilty over worthless stuff like a corporations return policy.

100% of people posting on this thread have made a return that someone else would say was a waste of time.

They probably donate their damaged/used/returned health and toiletries to the local food pantries and Salvation Army then write it off.

So no matter what we buy, we have to donate it if we decide we don’t want or need it? Everything? Is there a price point where it’s acceptable to return something vs donate it?

Not even close to everything. But there are certain consumable products like food and hygiene items that cannot be re-stocked. It’s not like returning a dress that doesn’t fit.

You buy these items knowing you’re committing to the purchase. Would you buy a pound of chicken breasts and then decide you don’t want to cook dinner that week so you’ll take it back? Or would you store it in the freezer to make chicken some other time?

I get you didn’t know, and a lot of people likely don’t. But now that you do know, you should be more conscientious about your purchases. FWIW I end up giving stuff away on my Buy Nothing Group if I no longer need it and it can’t be returned/restocked. I’d rather live with losing $15 than the guilt of perfectly good items ending up in the trash.

Ok Ms goody two shoes. As long as the company’s policy allows me to return it, I am.

Target also sells short sleeve button down shirts for men and Pringles Habanero Pizza flavor - just because they do it doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.

I feel attacked.

Unlikely that liability would allow this. If it's safe (as they define it), they can sell it.

What I don't understand is how you wouldn't know how many containers you need. I can list off the top of my head exactly what I will take on trips, and it's not like I had to practice.

Do you just wander around the house looking for things you might want to take with you for random reasons? Or is math too hard?

I think it’s in poor taste. Are you not going to go on a trip again? Save them for the next time. Why should target eat the cost of your poor planning for this one trip?

There’s so much waste in our country, it’s shameful.

Where are the environmentalists? Lots of plastic that was thrown out that could have been used by those on needs and then recycled!

And they’re going to change their policy at some point because people take such advantage of it and then you’ll really have something to complain about.

Pretty sure I haven’t. Who returns stuff all the time? I only buy things I need.
