OT: Would you return card because of better deal elsewhere?

To answer the original question no I would not, and I would not do business with anyone who would do something like that.

I remember hearing an urban legend in business school that Nordstrom once accepted a return on tires, even though they clearly don’t sell tires. I have no idea if that’s true, but if Jeff P. reads this, perhaps he can validate.

In other news, I have a buddy who habitually takes advantage of Costco’s return policy, and it’s never sat well with me.

I have a couple of ex-buddies that I learned have less scrupulous morals, and a "take what you can get" attitude. I found I was better for not being in their company any longer.

And a return for $11? Things must be tough in that household.
