Was this Target return in poor taste?

Before our vacation I went to Target and grabbed a bunch of various travel toiletries, went home and we all filled our Ziploc bags with whatever we wanted to bring. There were leftovers, either things we decided we didn’t really need and/or that didn’t fit. Today I stopped by Target to return the leftovers, about $15 worth. The woman at the return counter asked me if there was anything wrong with them to which I replied no, we just bought too many. She huffed and said we “shouldn’t do that” because all health items just get thrown away when returned, and “what a waste” it was.
Were we wrong? I don’t know why I’m allowing myself to feel anything about this or let it take up space in my head. |

| Yes. Just save them for a future trip. |

| Now you know. Don't feel bad about the past. |

| No you weren't wrong. I would do exactly the same. It's not your fault they throw them away, which I highly doubt they do. |

It is true. They have to throw them away. It is a waste so do better next time.

| Maybe next time, instead of being cheap about $15 (when you have the money to travel), you could take the leftover supplies to a women's shelter or some other donation location? |

| Not your fault and she was rude to say that. If you are environmentally conscious though, now you know and can avoid doing it again, so that’s a net positive. But it’s not like people would just know that. |

Nope. I'm getting my money back. Try and shame someone else. |

Seriously … we all make mistakes but the fact that you could not think to donate or swallow the loss . No words |

She was rude. She could've said, 'just so you know, for future reference' but Target people aren't paid enough to care. I sure wouldn't. |

| If they allow the returns (which it sounds like they do), it’s perfectly fine. |

I just don’t get the “you should donate” comments.
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? |

She was out of line and unprofessional. Your receipt is an agreement between you and Target not you and her. There are stores I do not go to because they do not allow returns. Stores allow returns because people will eventually buy what they really want even if they make a return or two before finding what really fits their need. I would report the interaction to Target management. Any other posters who want to tell me about Karens, etc, tell your momma because I certainly don't care. |

It is a personal choice so don't listen to others. |

You didn't know. If you did it again it would be poor taste.
I don't have time or energy to return something I can use in the future. So it would need to be more than $15 for me to consider a return. |
