Sorry you had a bad time at Target. I won't got to Walmart (unless forced).

[. I told the woman it's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of I'm being "penalized" for their defective item. QUOTE]

Actually, what we are being penalized for is all the crooks out there... People steal items and then return them...So now Target has had to become militant about it. If you paid with a credit/debit card or check they could look up the purchase...

Same thing with the coupons, if people would stop trying to cheat the system...using expired coupons, etc. We would have so much trouble...
