Will Costco take back my dead mums?

[Anonymous]

Ignore the naysayers, OP. I returned a lavender plant to Costco that died after a week, the cashier didn't bat an eye. I spend a shit ton of money at Costco as I assume you do if you're there as frequently as you say, I don't feel bad about returning things.

Not a troll. Not poor. I have to go there anyway. It takes 5 minutes to get my $20 back. Retailers who stand behind their product receive a lot of customer loyalty. I knew this would turn into a debate - don't care. Got my answer.

If you paid $20 for mums they were destined to die

Agree. How pathetic. Are you poor OP?

NP. Because it’s pathetic to be poor? WTH.

No, you psycho freak. You're the reason that companies keep making their return policies worse and worse.

Go ahead and return OP. I love their return policy - you can return at any time. I’ve returned my electric toothbrushes when they stop working and my sons twin mattress when it got messed up. No one cares.

Yay you. Family members return things after single use, when no longer needed. Tent for party, rec items, food etc... Greedy & gross and costs everyone else more money in the end.

Yes. They will. Don't let the people on this board shame you into thinking this is something only poor people would do (not that there is any shame in being poor, either). I know lots of very wealthy people, and none of them got to where they are by accepting bad deals and being too passive to demand better.

DH bought 2 mums at Costco a couple weeks ago - one is doing great and the other is 80% dead. Both have the exact same care/water/sun. I'd have no problem returning the dead one as a matter of Costco policy but there's zero chance DH or I would do anything but put the dead plant in the yard waste pile. I'm not proud nor ashamed, and not poor, I just know that's what will happen.

Yes, I did. I thought problem might be the partial shade but I quickly moved them to full sun and it didn't help. Never had a problem before this year.

OMG you don't have much sense. They are hard to kill, but yes, they do better with lots of water and SHADE. Try planting them with some compost or fetilizier and they might come back.

Funny. Mums.org says full sun.

Mine are out in sun and huge. You just have to water them when you first get them.
You are incompetent at mum care, OP.

Maybe but that's why I shop at Costco! Sorry it made your panties bunch up ladies!

You know that frivolous returns make prices increase for all of us, right? It sounds like you're not a great gardener (no shade, neither am I) and the $20 won't make or break your budget, so it would be more ethical to take this as a lesson learned and eat the cost.

You are a bad person and should feel bad about yourself.

A USED mattress that he "messed up"???? NASTY.

You are the reason no one can make any real returns anywhere when we get stuff that's actually damaged or broken.
