Target did WHAT?!!? Buyer Beware!!!

***As most of you know, my best friend got married over the weekend....at weddings you get tons of gifts that you register for....and what do you do when you get duplicates?!?!?!? You return right......WRONG!!!****
So buyer beware, when shopping at Target............


Please pass on!

Target

I have to share my experience over the weekend with Target with EVERYONE I come in contact with for the rest of my days here on earth. As most of you know, Tony and I got married this weekend. .We chose Target and Bed bath and beyond to register at for our event. As with MOST weddings, we received several duplicate gifts. Yesterday after we got in town from our honeymoon, we sorted through everything and went to Target to return our duplicates and exchange them for something else. We get there, they ask for a receipt, we do not have a receipt for most of the items that we received. THEY WERE A GIFT off of our registry!

Target: " I'm sorry ma'am. I can't return anything that's over $20 without a receipt. "
Me: "but these are off of our registry.... they're gifts, we do not have a receipt. Just give me instore credit. "
Target: "i'm sorry, without a reciept I cannot give you store credit or let you exchange anything"
Me: "Look at our registry! They were all purchased from it. That can serve as your stinking receipt!"
Target: "i'm sorry ma'am. That's the policy. I cannot help you"

SO ME, TONY and my mother spend 2 hours on the the phone with corporate, talking to every mananger in the store and we get no where. We told several people at the registry computers what they were in for while we were in the store waiting for someone to come to their senses and hopefully they will cancel their registry as well. WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS OF STUFF FROM TARGET THAT ARE DUPLICATES AND WE CAN DO NOTHING WITH! HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS AND NO STORE CREDIT, NO EXCHANGES, NO NOTHING!!!!!!!

We gave them thousands of dollars worth of business from our wedding and now we have all this this that we can do nothing with and they will do nothing about. BED BATH AND BEYOND, returned, exchanged and even offered us cash back for all of our items and never once asked for a recepit. I will NOT shop at Target anymore and I advise you DO NOT register for ANYTHING there. They get your money and you get nothing in return.

We've called the news and corporate. I'm sure you'll be hearing something about this very very soon. PLEASE pass it along. They made our wedding a very stressful and disappointing event.
