Yes, I was trying to be sneaky, but I only wanted store credit. Yesterday I went to Menard's Hardware and returned one of my shopping bags full of plumbing supplies from last March. I had the original receipt and they credited my card even though they are supposed to only give out store credit after 90 days.

I think I've been reading too much Seth Godin and The Consumerist.com lately. They would ask the question, How is RS's policy encouraging me to shop there? It's not, I shop there because I have no other choice.

Yes I could be a responsible consumer and keep track of my receipts and deadlines but unfortunately for me I'm a lame brain who loses stuff and doesn't have the time to track that many receipts.
