True, true.

It's rare I return something for a refund. The hassle of
driving back to the store, usually standing in line, explaining
why I'm returning it, etc.

A few weeks ago I bought a small wedge of Stella blue cheese
but mistakenly picked u the smoked version. Blech! I didn't
like it at all but did manage to get it down. A week or two
later I bought another wedge but made sure I did not pick up
the smoked version and told the cashier of my previous
mistake. She said I should have returned it for a refund.
It never entered my mind to take it back and it wasn't
worth the drive back to the store as it was MY mistake.
