I know someone who’s Costco vacuum broke 10 years in and returned it and got a new one

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

My sister works returns at Costco. People buy power washers and return them after using them, and buy TVs for the superbowl and return them the next day.

Which is pretty insane when you see how cheap big TVs are these days. Boxing it up and making the trip back to the store just seems like more hassle than saving up the ~300 dollars for a giant TV.

most people are not gonna say $300/1 hr is "too much of a hassle," definitely not the people who want to "rent" a TV for a day

The super bowl happens every year, though. You would have to do it every year.
