The Deal Messiah loves to push the boundaries of "the establishment". Also, being an environmentalist, he staunchly supports recycling efforts. Everyone should follow his recycling efforts, of used dog toys and items that he simply doesn't need anymore.

A pretty ridiculous idea occurred to me while cleaning out our "dog bin". We had a bunch of old toys and miscellaneous non sense items leftover from our old dog. They either wouldn't fit our new dog, due to size differences, or were just stuff we wouldn't use anymore, as shown below.
So, I put everything into a grocery sack (not recommended) as I was feeling pretty bold that day, and rolled over to Petco. I told Michelle at the checkout lane that I needed to return "some stuff I didn't need anymore" and they went to get the manager. "Linda" the manager, came out, and I noticed that she was wearing a studded black belt. Classy. I didn't have a receipt, or most of the original packaging, and the items were for the most part, very used. It was awesome.
They didn't even question the fact that I was returning a bunch of used stuff. Linda told me that they couldn't issue me a refund, but that I could go pick out other items in the store and they could do an exchange. I said no problem and picked out some dog stuff that we didn't need. It felt good, it was like winning a shopping spree.
I returned with a few AKC stuffed squeaky toys, a bag of rawhides, and some greenies for our new pup, and the manager proceeded to process my return. She went to get SKU's for items I was returning, as I didn't even so much as have the packaging. So to make it easier on them, I found a few new versions of what I was returning, and brought them up to checkout. This helped, as they were being lazy, and a huge line had built up behind me, so they just scanned the new items straight up. I definitely maxed out my return of $46 at Petco.
Thanks guys.
