Was this Target return in poor taste?

This couldn’t possibly have been a good use of your time.

NP, but "time and energy" isn't really a factor here. Returns at Target take about 30 seconds. And I'm often at the customer service line/area k anyway to pick up an online order (which saved me time shopping).

lol 30 seconds bullsh**. People just lie to themselves about anything instead of confronting reality.

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

So why are you on DCUM asking? Weird.

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?

No. But toiletries are always needed at every place that helps people. It would have been less of a hassle to stop them by a shelter or a food pantry than returning them to target.

No it is not. I go to target all the time. Never to shelters.

You invent reality to fit your edicts--you demand we invent a reality that making a return is inconvenient

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.

Ask to see her manager, report, and possibly get her fired so that the next person does not have to put up with her out of line judgy attitude.

You are a jerk. OP is wasteful and lazy.

Roll your eyes all you want. If you want to defend driving to Target to return $15 of items that will be thrown away, go ahead.

OP here. Target is my grocery store. I was going anyway. That $15 bought me milk and a couple other things I was going for anyway.

OK? I still wouldn't stand in line to return $15 worth of items that I could just USE.

DP, I would hang onto them for any visitors who may have forgotten or run out of toiletries. I actually have a little bowl full of mini shampoos, extra toothbrushes, mini toothpaste, tampons, etc. in my guest bath.

You know what’s even MORE wasteful than throwing out a couple travel sized toiletries? Having a house so unnecessarily large that you have a dedicated bathroom just for guests!
