Ugh. I hate being "that guy." My wife wants me to return

Some fruit snacks to Costco because they don't taste good. Yes the box has been opened and some eaten. I hate being that guy.

I've always had the "buyer beware" mentality. If you pick the wrong thing, you know better next time.

I have no doubts many CBers take used crap back all the time.

Sounds like a ridiculous reason to take back a food product IMO

Unless they straight up taste like poop I wouldn't be taking them back

Give them out for Halloween. Be that "that guy" instead.

If something is less than like $30, it’s not getting returned. I’m not going to

I was going anyway.

Give them to the homeless guy on the corner on your way to Costco

I thought about taking back some very nasty $20 protein powder but not worth it.

I just could never see myself doing that, and glad my wife would never make me.

Give them to some neighbors. Super lame you’re doing that.

Throw them away in your neighbor’s trash can. Mission accomplished

Everybody remember this post when your Costco membership goes up next year.

Also, as you enjoy your free samples today, remember that each bite increases your membership costs!

No way. Not worth my time.

My wife could be mad at me for all I care. No way I’d do that.

7/13/19 9:40am

What kind of fruit snacks were they?

cougaman

7/13/19 9:43am

Take it back, and pick up a spine while your there

7/13/19 9:47am

I just buy all the different brands try them and return the ones I don't like 😉

cougaman

7/13/19 10:52am

Hate that

7/13/19 9:51am

If my wife asked me to do that (she wouldn’t) this is how that conversation would go:

I would say no. She can do it herself.

My wife made me return a vacuum to Costco - 18 months after she bought it.

7/13/19 9:58am

Bleh. I hate this so much.

Not something you want to admit

Did you post this in the 15 mins she allotted for you to be on CB today?

You guys are mean - I don't feel safe.

7/13/19 10:48am

Take it back next time you go. It’s not like you are taking back a 6 year old

bluegaucho

7/13/19 10:01am

No. Don't take it back at all. They bought it. It's not defective. They opened it.

TCuz

7/13/19 10:06am

It’s not dishonest at all.

7/13/19 10:14am

Next time I'll drink half my milk and say it was bad and take it back for a new one

7/13/19 10:16am

For certain types of products, I agree. Not for opened food products. Dishonest and gross.

TCuz

7/13/19 10:17am

If something is wrong with it, not at all. If she just doesn't like how it

Same justification to use the EQ to help you move into your 4000 sq ft house.

That's dumb. Don't take a consumable item back. Jerk move.

cougarnerd

You buy it, you take it back.

7/13/19 10:11am

Absolutely not. Call it a loss and move on.

Tell her no, and throw them in the trash.

Richbyu

7/13/19 10:22am

Were they defective bad, or she just didn't like them bad?

cougaman

7/13/19 10:25am

I figure this is a perk of paying to use Costco. I’ll return anything to Costco. No explanation needed

Donate to the nursery kids

I saw someone st Costco returning an opened bag of organic seaweed chips

Have you had them before? are they gross compared to normal or just dont like

Take them to the food bank. She can't argue with that.
