When you return an item to a store do you need to return your "free bonus" as well?

Question

I have major buyer's remorse as I look at all my receipts. I went to Sephora and went crazy buying makeup in colors I already have. More than 100 dollars worth actually and because of that they gave me a free eye shadow thats worth like 20 bucks and some other samples. I really need to save my money and I want to return these impulse buys- I plan on keeping my perfume though. Do I need to return my bonus gift since that will bring my purchases under 100 dollars?

Answer 1

probably not-I think perfume departments are tickled to death for any business they can obtain..I wouldn't say anything--and I doubt they will...good luck..

Answer 2

well.... suppose that you and your friend were in this position. you gave her the latest mobile phone as a friendship gift which costs you, lets say, of about 1500 dollars and she gives you a lipstick in a shade you were dying for. but then you realize that you wanted to buy a laptop for your studies and don't have enough money for it and that the 1500 dollars, which was the cost of the mobile phone, could have easily been spent on the laptop and you could have given your friend another gift. but since you already gave her the gift, you are confused. you return her gift, the lipstick, even though you like it a lot, back to her and request her to return the gift you gave her, and then refund it.

so, here's the answer, according to my theory:

wouldn't you wish that she returned your gift, even though you and your friend both know that you already gave it as a gift? you would, wouldn't you? similiarly, when you wanted to refund all the things you bought, you were wondering if you should return the perfume too. i say you should. but if you really want it, then you could request the sales manager for you to pay for the perfume. i hope what i said got to you and understood. i also hope that my advice helped....
