My father bought some coconut oil at Target in Lauderhill, FL a week or so ago. He thew away the receipt. The next day, we found an already opened jar of coconut oil tucked away in our cabinet. So, today I took back the coconut oil for store credit because I didn't have receipt. I had no idea how much it cost when purchase, but I was given $5.39 as a store credit. I then went to the oils area to see what other oils they had. The oil that I returned was the only option for me, and it was cheap, so I decided to repurchase it (Silly, I know.). The shelf said the oil was $6.99, but since only $5.39 was returned to me, I assumed it was on sale. I took the oil to the customer service counter (I had another item I was exchanging with a receipt.) and paid for it with the gift card the guy had just given me. He rings it up and tells me I owe him $1.60. I asked why because it was the same item. He says that the computer just sometimes returns a lower amount. WHAT?? To make a REALLY long story as short as I can, the manager told me the same thing. I asked to speak to the manager's manager because I wanted to see the policy where it says the computer can decide how much I should receive on a return without a receipt. She went to get him and soon after calls the gentleman I was working with at customer service, and tells him that the manager's manager approved to have my money refunded. Ok...I didn't ask for my money back, but, thank you. However, I need a copy of that policy. They also explained to the customer service guy why I received less money and he in turn explained it to me: <br /> <br /> If you return an item without a receipt, and that item went on sale at any point within the last 90 DAYS, then you will receive that sale price.<br /> <br /> WHAT KIND OF BLEEP-ITY BLEEP RETURN POLICY IS THAT?? AND WHY IS IT NOT POSTED?? Ok, so where is the copy I requested? After about 10 more minutes the original manager comes out and tells me that she cannot give me a copy of it because it is on Target copyrighted paper. Wait. So you can have a lengthy list of explanations and exceptions concerning your returns policy, but you can't give me a copy of a particular part of your return policy that is not listed? That sounds screwy. So, needless to say, I will not be shopping there anymore. I am also going to write to corporate because that is not right. At least list the policy so I can have some reference as to why you are screwing me. This policy is why the woman who posted earlier had to pay $5 more to buy the EXACT same article of clothing. This 90 day policy is frustrating to consumers, but it is more frustrating when no one can explain to you why and employees cannot find it is writing. Target should really rethink this part of their policy; at the least, they should post it.
