  Nothing unusual here -- these are pretty standard in retail stores.

  And on a big sign in the customer service area, and on signs located
on the counters next to every register. I'm sympathetic up to a point,
but their policy is reasonable and typical, and your ignorance of it
changes nothing. Short of having the cashier verbally inform every
customer of the return policy (an unreasonable and unnecessary thing
to do), BB has done everything they can to inform you of it. Your
failure to read what's in front of you is no one's fault but your own.
Having children admittedly makes these things more complicated but
doesn't entitle you to special treatment. 30 days is more than enough
time to return an item if you don't want it.

>Please forward this warning to everyone you know.  Thanks.

  Why should I waste bandwidth because you can't read what's in front
of you and live in a fantasy world where products can be returned
months later without a problem. The people I know have a clue, and
don't need a "warning" about silly things like this. But thank you for
sharing your foolishness.
