Best Buy Scans Drivers License For Returns — No More Allowed For 90 Days

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday April 10, 2012 @09:28AM from the thank-you-for-your-business dept.

rullywowr writes "A customer with a defective Blu-Ray disc returns to the Best Buy store where he purchased it. After having his driver's license scanned into the system, he is now banned from returning/exchanging goods for 90 days. This is becoming one of the latest practices big-box stores are using to limit fraud and abuse of the return system — for example, the people who buy a giant TV before the big game and then return it on Monday. Opponents feel this return-limiting concept has this gone too far, including the harvesting of your personal data."

The service at Best Buy wasn't shitty enough already that they're actively making it shittier?
Way to encourage everyone to only make one purchase every 90 days at your store. How stupid can they be?
