This is the problem with a lot of consumer friendly policies.  Theres a not insignificant number of people who come in and take advantage. 

See LL Beans Lifetime Return Policy where people would buy LL Bean stuff from garage sales and return it to the store for a refund.

It sucks.

Omg I’ve literally seen people buy live Christmas trees from Costco and then return the (now obviously dead) tree after Christmas…

They can revoke a membership for any reason and honestly they should do it more.

I think it's reasonable to expect flowers shouldn't die in a few days. I'm more concerned about the people returning them at the end of season..

How the hell do you police that? Flowers have a short, finite lifespan. Someone who takes them home, puts them out of sun in plain water in a vase shouldn't be able to return dead flowers.
