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

Posted by Soulskill on 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."

    Customer: Look! I came here to make a return.
    Best Buy: Oh! I'm sorry, this is abuse.
    Customer: Oh I see, that explains it.
    Best Buy: No, you want room 12A next door.
    Customer: I see - sorry.
    Best Buy: Not at all. Stupid git.
