'Shameless,' blasts Costco member after man returns 'absolutely trashed' top of the line grill for brand new model | 3V98ZFG | 2024-05-12 17:08:01
COSTCO members were appalled as a fellow shopper brought a wrecked high-end grill back to the warehouse for a refund.
The shameless shopper then took advantage of Costco's return policy to score a new grill.
Costco's forgiving return policy has resulted in a number of questionable returns that some may consider an abuse of the retailer's policy.
A Reddit user described one such return on the Costco returns subreddit.
The user explained they did roadshows at Costco for a wood pellet grill company.
While on the job, he witnessed a Costco member bring back "an absolutely trashed top-of-the-line model," and proceed to use the money to purchase a new grill in the same model.
The store manager even asked the roadshow employee to assemble the grill for the shopper.
After the customer left, the user headed to the membership desk to retrieve information to process the return.
He found out the trashed grill was only a year old and the shopper had previously ruined and returned two grills.
"They were guessing he has a restaurant or some kind of food business," wrote the user.
A fellow Costco shopper was dumbfounded at the ridiculous return.
"Damn shameless!" they commented.

A worn-down grill is just one of many notable Costco returns.
Other shoppers have similarly taken advantage of the retailer's 100% satisfaction guarantee return policy, including a member who returned half-eaten food.
In the Costco subreddit, a shopper shared how she was making a typical return of clothes that don't fit when she witnessed an absurd return.
The customer in front of her had returned several eaten-through food items, including a half-eaten container of pickles held closed using rubber bands.
She also returned half a bag of frozen peas, which she cut open using scissors instead of utilizing the ziplock.
The third item she brought back was half a box of frozen egg rolls.

"I hope she pays with karma, because I really left thinking this was an abuse of the policy."
