Aaaand that's why you buy within your means. People like you suck. The store is not lending you their clothing. They're losing money but you're still using their dress, it's kinda stealing if you think about it. I don't care if it'd be in perfect condition blahblahblah, there are plenty of places that sell cheaper clothing that's still nice. YDI.

Retail does not mean rental. Cheapskates like you drive up the prices for everyone. It also steals profit from stores which leaves less money for payroll meaning less hours for employees. When you do this, you are stealing from people who make minimum wage. You and people like you should be ashamed.

I mean you will at least be able to get store credit

coming from someone who works in retail, ydi people like you are the reason I get minimum wage, you buy it return it and since its worn we can't resell it at full price, we have to send it to get professionally cleaned then sell it at a discount

Stop being so righteous, the point of the fml is not that she bough a dress with the intention of returning it, it's that someone took it upon themselves to rip the tag off. This other party obviously had no idea what the OP's intentions were, and decided to, without asking op, damage her possessions. The other party is a criminal in this scenario too.

Oh how I hate people that do that. If you'll have to return it you shouldn't have bought it in the first place. Believe it or not there ARE cheap ways of looking nice. YDI.

You obviously didn't hide the tag well enough.

Expensive on the outside, cheap on the inside.

This FML was copied from a french one.

Put the tag on as best as you can. Take it back and tell them you wanna even exchange it.
