Costco is well-known for its God-tier return policy. The renowned lenient policy made headlines last year after folks tested just how far the warehouse club would go to keep customers happy. Shoppers were caught returning 5-year-old mattresses, playsets that had outgrown the kids, and even a charred grill.
This return policy turned into an unofficial litmus test of how good a person you are, depending on how deplorable your return was. Several urged folks to stop taking advantage of Costco returns, lest they see a stricter policy in the future.
