Over the years(at least 25), i have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars at Marshalls(&TJ Maxx)...I'm sure like many shoppers, there have been many times where i've purchased an item, brought it home, put it on a hanger, and into my closet...only to forget about it...here's my comment/concern...i've seen Marshalls' tags/stickers enough times to know that there is a long number with dashes just below the word "Marshalls"...i believe it's 4 digits- 9 digits- 6 digits(last of which are price, i.e. 1999 is $19.99)- 2 digits(with a square around them)- 1 digit...obviously, there is some sort of code which lets Marshalls employees know WHEN something was purchased, simply by looking at this long, dashed code of numbers...because there have been NUMEROUS occasions when i decided to return, let's just say a shirt for example...and maybe i didn't have the receipt...i usually keep all my receipts...i take the item out of a Marshalls bag, hand it to Associate while i'm getting my license out, and very quickly they will say, "This item is VERY OLD"...all i'm looking for is a store credit & if the item has never been used with tag still attached, i'm wondering why that's a problem...it's very likely that the item i'm attempting to return will be purchased by another shopper within a reasonable amount of time...so i'm just wondering if this is an Official Policy or certain stores just make up their own rules...has anyone else ever been denied a return because their item was "OLD"? Or does anyone know if they're allowed to deny a return of unused item(s)? Thank you kindly...
