Best Buy Scans Drivers License For Returns — No More Allowed For 90 Days 503
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."

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.

Do you remember when they fired all their knowledgeable long-term floor sales staff because they were "too expensive?"
That was Circuit City [washingtonpost.com] not BBY. BBY never had that problem in the first place because they never really paid senior staff much of a premium to begin with and consequently they've pretty much always sucked.
