Talk:Refund theft
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unfortunately retailers not only encourage Refund theft but I believe actually helped create the crime.
Due to intense competition between supermarkets and discount department store chains, no single group was willing to take the ultimate step and say "no docket, no refunds.”
Everyone is frightened of losing market share that they ended up creating the perfect situation for the Fraudulent Refund. Customers can very easily steal an item and then return it and obtain 100 per cent refund. What a greet racket. Some discount department stores even have their returns desk located inside the store – customers can simply select an item off the shelf, take it to the returns counter and get paid to leave it there!
