I recently went into the store in SouthPark in Charlotte, NC and bought something for my daughter. They knew it was a gift. NOBODY mentioned to me that you could only get store credit when you returned things.
When I took it back today, they told me I could only get store credit and that it said on the sales ticket that that was the return policy. I asked how many times they read the entire sales ticket when they bought things and told them I wanted my money back. They said no they could not do that. So now they have their item back AND my money. I will NEVER shop there again and simply want to be reimbursed for the gift I purchased.
In other stores, I am always told the return policy.
