The Vent - Part Trois

Kohl's allows one to bring back clothes that you have worn/washed/taken off the tags, at least thats what their commercial stated!! Never heard of a store doing that!

All I can say, is eww, yuck. Now I will be more careful about what clothes I purchase there.

Ugh, I am so disappointed in Eurovision this year.

It's been mostly slow songs, and the results have been just weird. Little to no catchy songs have gone through, and someone tone deaf went to the finals.

Bleh, what happened to their musical roots.

Were you here when someone posted the video of places like Victorias secret and many other stores taking back USED underwear and putting them back on the rack right away?

[Flames9_RN 358]

I dont think Kohls resells them as new!! Prob sends them back to the distributor

Is TJ Maxx like Winner's in Canada?

[Sprailenes 47]

Yea... but winners is soo much better imo... and cleaner.

Pretty Similar

Both Winners and TJ Maxx are owned by the UK company TK Maxx

I have never been to a Winners, but If there was a TJ Maxx and Winners side by side, I would shop at Winners every time. The name says it all WIN!!!!. TJ Maxx for some reason reminds me of that annoying coke commercial in the late 80's with Max Headroom.

Yeah, I think I saw that on visajourney.com when someone posted it here. That was the most disgusting thing. If the stuff gets sent to their "distributor" for resale in some knock off store, then maybe I will be avoiding the likes of TJ Maxx (although the one in my town is always dirty and clothes are everywhere, the Goodwill and Salvation Army are cleaner and more organized and at least there, I know the clothes have been worn before and plan accordingly).

I used to work at a wal-mart in Canada, and eventhough it was illegal to do so, they would accept returns on underwear. All the customer had to do was make a big enough scene.....they don't want anyone seeing an unhappy customer. The majority of the time it was just written off, but there were occasions that it made it back onto the floor.

[SupportGeek 21]

Ive known friends that worked in Wal*Mart at the returns desk, they basically said they would accept anything as a return if you start to make a scene, receipt or not.

Even stuff from other stores(Non Wal*Mart), and even stuff thats CLEARLY been used a lot.

we were supposed to be spending the day watching movies.. but so far we have only watched 2 and during the first one the hubster was on his computer the whole time .....grrrr

That's interesting about the returns. I brought back some underwear I had purchased at BigLots - it was the wrong size when I got it home and I just wanted to exchange it for the correct size. When I turned it in at the counter, she took a pair of scissors and basically cut it into thirds - no way it could be used again. I was somewhat aghast because it hadn't been worn or anything, but then I though - yeah, underwear - no way to know for sure so I guess that is one way to ensure it doesn't get back on the shelves.

Better than our day at least. We were supposed to spend it driving to a nearby town to do some cheap memorial day shopping until the hubby told me last minute (I mean LAST MINUTE, we were almost ready to go out the door) that to do this shopping (and by shopping I mean like spending $50 max, on a few cheap shirts and a book maybe, with a coupon I had) we'd have to go into overdraft on the bank account because we had nothing. We didn't even have money to do laundry, or get gas in the car.

so yeah, I say F-you to today.
