I like that it is a script and the system figured out the exact wording to maximize profits.

> Gets people in-line REAL fast knowing they might end up blacklisted from Costco.

And the power dynamics at play.

In times of yore it would not occur to the shop keeper to offer a return policy or for the shopper to try and bilk him. The interaction would not be scripted.

1. Nothing I have described is considered abuse. I haven't even mentioned a percentage of overall returns I make versus overall purchases.

2. It has been sometime since I have been happy with the service and there are ample alternatives domestically.

I won't lose sleep over Amazon's profit margins.
