DH and I were having coffee this afternoon talking about stupid things. We
couldn't figure out why they put those stickers on your returns at the doors
at Costco and Walmart; what it accomplishes for them.
Does anyone know?
The reason I ask is tomorrow is a big return day:
An outdoor "critter" camera that takes pictures at night.
A Shark sweeper.
A corked bottle of wine.
Hey, I'm just bringing them in the door. They've already got my money --
what's the deal?

It's to prevent people from picking up a product off the shelf in the
store, claiming they had previously purchsed it, and trying to return it
for a refund. If the customer doesn't have a receipt, most stores will
still issue a refund or, at least, a store credit. Having the sticker
applied as you enter gives them some assurance that you had, indeed,
previously purchsed the item(s).

It shows to some extent that you bought the product, not just took it from
the shelf directly to the return counter. If you elect to take the product
out again, it also shows that it was brought it from the outside, not off
the shelf. Some security setups are to make people aware that the store is
watching, a deterrent in itself.
Why are you returning wine?

Corked. I'll be interested to hear how that goes. (Some
surveys suggest about 15% of all wine is corked. I myself
cannot specifically identify the corked bottles relative to the
bad bottles in general.)

Because it's "bad." It wasn't stored correctly during the shipping
process and tastes off.

The idea is to prevent people from going in and taking an item from the shelf to the
return line and saying they bought it. When the person at the return counter sees the
sticker, they know you at least came in the door with the item.

You can order a steak just about anywhere you want. It just in a lot of
places you won't get one.
