Was this Target return in poor taste?

She educated you in a rude way. Now you know. Both of you should aim to do better.

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?

Wow, you’re a certain kind of special. I am not the OP, but I can totally understand how you would buy extras just in case because who wants to be on a trip and run out of what they need ….but also if your family decides to use the hotel products instead, your Estimate would be off. Why are you so rigid?

Do better? If target is not going to put the products back out, they should change the return policy. They should let consumers know ahead of time that items cannot be returned if they are hygiene items. Not the consumers fault, what the company decides to do if they are allowing the return.

This seems to me a great charity for someone to create — go around to all the targets and Walmarts to get the returned toiletries and bring them to shelters. Like they do with leftover food at restaurants.

What a waste for $15 worth of goods. Hang on to them. Donate them. Give to a friend who is traveling.
Not poor taste, but not thoughtful for sure.

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

DCUM: Tell me about summering on MV.

Also DCUM: I need that $15 back from Target.

You are wrong, so wrong! Jesus, what is wrong with people?
You do not return unused soap, you keep it.

Why should the Target worker aim to do better? What will the result be if they 'do better'?

DP. How about we shame you for being cheap and horrible planer and others have to endure your nastiness?

I got the same treatment from a Costco rep when returning cauliflower based pasta that tasted like @ss. I really wanted to respond that I pay $120 per year for the privilege of your return policy. If you want to refund me that, we can talk about a different return policy.

One buys fake pasta at their own risk. You knew it would taste like crap; how can it ever taste good?

This is the stuff I don’t understand. A shopper buys something they don’t like the taste of yet returns it to the store. For what, $5? It wasn’t spoiled. It wasn’t defective. The package wasn’t damaged. You just didn’t like it so that’s Costco’s fault?

It’s no wonder stores are tightening up their return policies.

Aren’t you the one who asked if it was in poor taste? Yes, being a cheapskate over $15 of items that will get thrown out instead of used by someone in need is in poor taste.

If only everyone had the luxury to think that $15 was just nothing at all. That's at least two meals right there. Rich b_ches.

It probably isn't that much to OP, since she profligately bought more than needed for a vacation where she was obviously flying, as she cares about travel sizes and Ziploc bags. People going on flying vacations aren't looking under sofa cushions for change so they can get the dollar meal at their local fast food joint.

Right? I wanted to try chic pea pasta; I bought it, I cooked some of it, and it was gross. Into trash the rest went. It is not Wegman's fault that I wanted to try it.

I don't get it. If one is so frugal that they would return tiny overpriced toiletries, why won't they use small reusable containers? If you don't care how much those things cost and are ok overpaying, why bother to return? I'm sure if you have used reusable containers you'd save far more then $15. To follow up on pps point, I think some people are just so bored and/or lonely they make a whole chore out of this "return" business.
