    Guess it depends on what it is, but 90day warranties are still a thing. Everything is just meant to be disposable now though so I guess the idea of refunds is an older person thing.

      Also depends on the country, in Australia warranties are defined by law as essentially infinite and only constrained by the “expectations of a reasonable person.”

        “Essentially infinite” is a bit of a stretch. The minimum warranty period is 12 months but it is true that there’s no defined maximum period. The reasonably expected lifespan of a consumer good generally increases with its value. Manufacturers and retailers are free to offer further warranties in addition to the guaranteed warranty period under the consumer law but this does not reduce or replace your rights under the law.

        I will add that change of mind refunds are not covered by Australian consumer law and it is uncommon for retailers to accept them compared to the US. You can usually exchange something for another item of equivalent value or store credit, but you usually can’t buy a phone to try out and return it after 30 days for example.

          Your 2nd paragraph is similar in the EU: when buying directly in a physical store, there’s no law requiring they accept returns, and only 14-days when purchased online. But because so many physical stores allow returns (at least in Sweden), sooo many people actually believe it’s something coded the law.

    I actually had an old man insist I give him his money back, for an empty can of beets that he said were bad, I asked him when he bought them so I could look up the receipt. “Oh, I think about this time last year.”

      Horrible advice. In many POS systems, the system enforces the refund policy. You have to input the receipt number, and once you do, the system tells you that a refund isn’t possible if it’s too old. And if the system allows it but protocol does not, it’s going to be real easy for management to find out who broke the rules and fire you for cause.

        Nah just play it straight-faced and be smart. Lay your groundwork, cover your tracks, and do your follow-ups. I scammed employers (the big ones) out of tens of thousands over the years using whatever leeway afforded to me to reward the nice customers.

            I can’t believe there are people out there just doing their job straight, while the excess value of their labour just goes into the pockets of some investor whose biggest contribution to society is, like, a blog from 2018 on the best altitude to take a power nap.

            Exactly. Pocketing the customer’s receipt, then feeding out blank paper in order to lie to a manager would be so easy to determine with cameras. Anyone that’s half-competent in loss prevention would catch that.

        6 months? In Germany itself 2 weeks of returns is granted by law and most shops do one month, more than that is pretty special here.
