Not familiar with lowes return policy but I know stores like bestbuy and walmart always have someone up front to mark returns so you cant do that.
I just came home from Lowes and had to return a item. When I got in the customer service line the guy in front of me had a hummingbird feeder. He was not that type of person you would expect to have a hummingbird feeder. The cashier said what people do is go through the trash or find a receipt in the parking lot and come in the store and find the item to match the receipt and then bring it to CS for a refund. Just had to share it.
that's absurd and not worth worrying about. sounds like Lowe's "problem" since, as mentioned earlier, would only work with a cash or gift card purchase.
Another common trick....stick a different bar code on an item...like a $5 bar code on a $300 item. They do this when using the self checkout lane.

Actually, I have had Walmart and Lowes refund a debit card payment in cash.
What kind of person has a hummingbird feeder?
They don't always get away with it. I know our local police has arrested people for doing just that at Wal-Mart.

It 'may' have been LLBean that has recently changed their returns policy. Seems they were getting a lot of stuff back that had obviously been used til it wore out. The customers thought they would only need to buy one pair of boots for their entire life. Seems to me it's a sad commentary on the values of a lot of people now.

c`mon bro`.....How much meth will 37 cents buy ???I'm going to deliberately take my $0.37 nut or bolt receipt, crumple it up in an obvious manner, and then cast it high into the air for one of these fellows.
I just want to see his face when he opens it up for 37 cents.
I knew kids in HS that did that back in the '80's...not that easy anymore.
doesn't work in the self check out, the item weights wouldn't match and you'd have to call the clerk, who would see the item doesn't match the scan description...
Its a much bigger problem than you might think. I use to work the tool dept. at Lowes and much of my job was to watch for people who made a living shoplifting. Most of the time it is a real organized effort. One guy would recruit people and show them what to do. We would catch people and they would tell us they had been doing this for a while making 5 fig. The people that hired them make 6 fig.+. They have routes and days they come in and go from one store to another, we not only knew who they were but where they were going next. They would go to all kinds of extremes to distract, so someone can swoop in and out in seconds. Most of the time they would target certain items and just run out the door, LP and employees were told not to apprehend because it was to dangerous. Our best defense was to stay on them and kill them with cust. service. Theft was written off to the toon of 10%. If you were in a54M a year store they would expect to loose 5.4M. Take that and multiply by 1000+ stores and you get a grasp of how serious it is. They have finally wised up and are beefing up security and proscuting more. They found web sites that people could go to and make a shopping list of things they wanted to have stolen. Wonder why prices go up? Its not just the price of manufactuing.
Another problem with their receipt is if you leave it in the sunlight or even leaving it inyour truck console for a couple of weeks you can't read them seems the ink just disappears.
