You know why they want that and instruction books etc etc don't you? It's
so they can take your return, bung it through the shrink wrap machine in
the back of the store, and sell it "as new" again.

So if taking something back to a store like that write in the instructions
that the goods have been returned on such and such a date and why. Or
scrawl on the box, in thick black marker, "Return to XXX, splinge wurdle
broken" OWTTE.

I'd rather stores did check the goods, repack and resell. Most are
returned not really faulty. The goods are just as good, and it results
in lower retail prices as its one less expense for them.
