I feel the same way Leena feels. You don't need to shop at Wal Mart, I don't and I lead a happy life. Donate the books to chairty or give them to a school library and write it off on your taxes.

I no longer shop at my local walmart. Over the years I have been the unlucky purchaser of items which have actually been USED, RETURNED, and then RESOLD! I have had checks declined by their check system FOR NO REASON, rude cashiers and managers on a consistent and repeat basis. Their products cost less because they are CHEAP. Their clothing rarely holds up to the first wash and since I don't allow my kids to go out looking like they were dressed out of someone else's garbage pile I no longer buy or accept clothing that came from walmart. Sure, everyone likes to save money, but what good is that if you are doing it at the expense of your mental health and well being? Spend the time to read the ads in the paper and then go where you will get quality...in both product and service. Continuing to patronize a store where the employees treat you like something they would step on simply enables them to continue in the same derrogatory pattern. Buy books at the bookstore, food at the grocery store, clothes from the clearance racks at the mall. You will actually save MORE money if you use your head and your clipped coupons, and your mental health will be intact.

The point is no matter what the outcome is every store should respond the same way. If I go to Mcdonalds and order a cheeseburger I expect it to be the same way everytime because there is policies in place to create the same thing over and over again. I don't understand why people have such a hard time understanding this concept. When you live 20 minutes from the Walmart and the other ones are 40 minutes away it is stress knowing all the gas your spending driving back and forth all over town. It is still not right that they change there tune after I want to talk to the District Manager No one can ever make me change my mind on this. If you didnt live you dont understand. Maybe I should make a whip and take it into Walmart I wonder if I would have another story to post on this site of how security tackled me blah blah blah

I agree completely. If other walmarts would take it back, then take it there. And yeah, WWJD? I don't think he'd storm walmart and start flipping tables over. Worst case scenario: You give the book to a homeless shelter or something. It's a book, it'll get used. Can't you church write-off things like that on their taxes?

1- If you took the time to call various other Wal-Marts and they all said they'd return the book with no problem, why don't you just take the book to either of those Wal-Marts and be done with it?? 2- If it is such a good book, then what is the problem of having duplicates in your church library? Obviously more of your parishoners would be able to enjoy the book without having to wait for only one or two copies to circulate through the entire congregation. I mean really, it is just a book, not a multi-million dollar item. Wouldn't it make sense to just keep it and focus on more important issues? Would Jesus have made such a fuss over something as trivial as a book?

Did you see the article this weekend about the irs clerk who had ripped home depot off to the tune of $330,000 over the last several years by loading up his cart with merchandise and then heading DIRECTLY to the return counter, where he told them he had purchased the items and didn't have a receipt. He then whipped out his irs badge as ID, to prove he was an honest guy. They gave him gift cards because he didn't have a receipt, which he sold at a discount, for cash. I find this interesting that they told you THEY WOULD allow you to return the books one time yet you still come to this site and make a major case out of it and state it stressed you out and "You want justice" and then go on to state "the time it cost me was not even worth the refund". Strange.

I can understand not returning DVDs they are wrapped and that is aort of the policy stated on the refund wall They will return DVDs if they are still wrapped Not so with books, there is no reason that they should have refused refund and what is the deal with the guy changing his mind after I wanted to get into contact with the district Manager If the book is still brand new in shape with no binding damage and all stickers still implace and the reciepts dated 1 day that they should not have returned those books Like I said if books are non returnable where is the policy Books and dvds are 2 different classes and dvd have policies in place

honestly If I owned a company, I wouldnt have taken it back either. If they took books back all the time, people would just buy a book, read it and return it. You wouldnt make much money taking all books back. It's the same way with dvd's.
