Commenting on "'New' goods scandal: more stores accused"
http://www.theage.com.au/digital-life/computers/new-goods-scandal--more-stores-accused-20111223-1p80h.html
This has been a common practice since the dawn of return with no question asked policy.
It is ridiculous that some stores do not allow garments to try on due to health and hygiene reason, and yet they are allowed to be returned with no questions asked. Whoever tried on the garments, whether the initial purchaser or people they know, may have skin diseases or some form of dangerous transmittable diseases, not detectable by naked eyes.
I do know some very unethical people who only "buy" clothing for a function and return it a few days later, sometimes with bonus stained marks on the return item.
From time to time we hear those horror stories about "unhappy" restaurant customer complaining about their meal and the waiter gracefully returning dish to the kitchen. The unscrupulous chef / cook may just rejig the dish and return as a one!
